    Is it really in the best interests of the forum to be discussing the pros and cons of weapons for use against other human beings? A necessary evil they may be, but here is probably not really a place for that discussion
    Hi Ryan, The reason I asked the question about Police issue shot guns in the US was because Miami said of his Rem 870 express magnum " … six years as my patrol cars trunk gun... ".
    I have rightly or wrongly made the assumption that he served as a police officer and carried a shot gun. Without that statement I would not have raised the question. My question is directed at saving lives not taking them.
    I along with many others have been concerned for some time with fatal shootings of offenders by the police when a means of non fatal restraint is many times perhaps more appropriate. Hence the use of Tasers here which have also not been without problems.
    Is a shotgun easier to point and use with rubber buckshot for non lethal restraint - shooting legs for example, especially by new officers rather than a Glock pistol. I don't know but suspect it would be. If I saw enough conclusive evidence from overseas I would certainly make a submission to the Minister of Police.
    Cordite and outlander like this.
