And that's their story, and they're stickin' to it!

I was surprised to see where that ATF letter was sent. Why was the Greenwood Village Police Dept wondering if firing an AR pistol from the shoulder would cause the pistol to be reclassified as a SBR?

I heard (rumor)something to the effect; they want to issue to their motorcycle cops without going the SBR hassle route. something to the effect police need to check out, and then check em in each shift if an SBR. This avoids that hassle.

Person who told me seems knowledgeable.

PD letterheads eliminate the SBR issues. LE does not have NFA stamps for PD owned weapons.

I bet the ATF employee who approved the arm brace was fired soon after he approved it.

Yea, of course what was I thinking.........(Sarcasm)

Never mind department rules; requiring them to check the (SBR) rifle out/in before shift because it's department owned; not individual owned. Brace eliminates that issue.

Didn't make sense to me either, so tell ya what, instead of me continuing to defend a rumor; call Rob at Bowers. let us know what the "real" deal is. [Beer]

As a LEO and issued a Colt SBR rifle owned by the agency, I do not have to turn it in every day. It is locked in the trunk of my assigned vehicle.

Makes sense to me... But how about the motorcycle cops? That is what the comment was in reference to. Guess it could be locked in the saddle bags; no? Gun shop rumor, like I said.

Further; I guess that is why the letter was written to the ATF by Greenwood Village police. I hate repeating rumors, but to late, already started. If I could take it back I would, because I have no idea of the truth in this.

When I was a patrol officer, we took the rifles home. The same for the motor guys. Since I am very familiar with GV, the cops there can either take them home or lock them in their individual equipment lockers they have.

My response was; "why would they use an arm brace, when they could use a butt stock?" That was the response I got. I am no one to argue with it, I have no idea of GV regs.

Rumor redacted- For the record; I didn't start it! [ROFL3][Beer]
