Here is a bit of a followup on a previous post.
Ok, this dude seems pretty off. But the doctor decided that he is not a danger to himself or anyone else.Found with the weapons, 651 bullets including hollow-points, "we don't have much that we wear that’s going to stop that," says Harrington. Yet another amazing quote from a seemingly clueless cop. I'm not entirely well versed on ballistics and such, so correct me if I am wrong. It is my understanding that hollow points are actually less likely to penetrate body armor. The ones I keep loaded in my (already wimpy) .380 are advertised as "less likely to penetrate a wall", so I assume that would also hold true for a Kevlar vest. It seems that the media, once again, was jumping on the chance to demonize "hollow point" bullets, leaning on a connotation of "cop killers".
Now, I have a hard time believing that the cop actually thinks this... it is easier for me to believe the author of the story took his quote out of context, and he was actually referring to to the rifle ammunition or something. Of course, I try to be an optimist.
The point of the story is that this guy wants his guns back. Well, legally, I don't see how the cops can not give them back. He didn't commit a crime. He was given a clean bill of mental health. I say give 'em back.
