Title: What's wrong with this...
Post by: Steyr M40A1 on December 15, 2009, 07:34:30 AM
Got to love the late night info commercial.
A bad crocodile dundee try's to rob average Joe citizen then gets shot by the LEO.
If only he had on of these life saving devices.
Got to love the marketing.

What is wrong with this, let me count the ways....

1) Someone brought a knife to a gun fight

2) Someone forgot the golden rule of never pointing a gun at anyone they DO NOT intend to shoot, meaning turning around with a raised gun at the officer, nice job keeping it pointed at the BG

3) The Officer did not immediately take control of the situation, the BG spoke first, then the armed citizen

Look forward to learning more from other's evaluations.

Where is Ron Popeil when you really need him?

Can you get a free set of Ginsu knives with that?

I would guess that a cop WOULD hesitate to shoot some one holding up what looks like a badge.
but in the REAL world the woman would have been on the phone with the 911 operator for a while before Cops arrived, Cop is more likely to listen to the well dressed guy by the nice car than the guy in the "fishing get up" in an under ground garage,
and the cop is more likely to give commands like "put down the gun" than just start blasting.

Most of the scuttlebutt about "badges" for CCW holders is negative. But the video is not quite accurate in cop pulls up assesses the situation in 2 seconds and shoots the guy in the suit, without ordering even 1 verbal command to drop the weapon.

Or the Good Guy not putting the pistol on the roof of the car when they pulled up, (he was that close), and putting his hand in the air.

Or his GF/wife, not detailing the events of who is the BG and who is the GG.

etc,...etc,...etc,...

 Problem with a badge like that is it opens you up to a charge of impersonating a Cop.

My thoughts exactly.

Remember to order it a size bigger so it'll conceal your gun. ;D

For all of those wishing to purchase a CCW badge, please pick them up from me at my real estate office in the 9th Ward in New Orleans. I have some wonderful, bargain property you can look at when you drop by. ;D
