We could all probably do a thread a week and not run out, but here is my humble submission for the past week:

Veteran officer, walking around with no magazines in his pouches. I ask him where his mags are, and he says he keeps them in his car, because he won't need them, and if he does, he will get them when he gets out of the car. I suggest this isn't a dependable plan of action, but he doubles down on his position.

WTF? You can't make this shit up. This aint' exactly Mayberry...

I hope you are not partnered with Barney, or one of six.

Stay safe.

Hell, we talk about Officers who are fighters, and Officers who are ammo carriers...what's that make this dummy?

At least I know what to expect when he shows up...

Hot Lead Interceptor.

God, forbid.

Wait, this guy knows how his calls will end before he even gets out of the cruiser?

He needs to buy a lottery ticket and retire yesterday!

"I am a dumbass and either don't know where my mags are, or know where they are but don't have them, and I think this explanation makes me look LESS like a dumbass."

Guess he prays his God get to him before Murphy and Darwin do...

Doesn't sound too experienced for a "veteran officer". Hopefully, he won't have to learn the hard way.

Is that sort of thing allowed by department policy? Can you point out what he is doing to a supervisor?

He may be a "veteran" officer but he is not an "experienced" officer.

In this case, the lowest level of his readiness.

This reminds me of the people who carry but never train or practice. They think in the heat of the moment they're going to smoothly pull that pistol & deliver a center-mass double-tap in .8 seconds.

time for a wake up call

Mas Ayoob must have at least a half a dozen stories about people who ran out of ammo,
he would do good to read them

Hell, I resurrected an original Nintendo NES. Using the light gun from a holster (yes...I'm serious lol...) I can't consistently hit targets under .8 seconds playing Hogan's Alley.

That's serious training; )

A prospective human shield, a two legged diversionary device, future organ donor, wanna be morgue meat?

My wife used to be an LEO- she's not anymore but she still carries at least two extra mags out of habit. Well, ok she usually carries an extra gun as well

In the old revolver days, I would see guys with bullet loops on their duty belts.
This was bad enough, but the bullets were showing green mold.
Well.... it was a simpler time.
