Nice weapon. Only the *finest* for our *finest*.

*Thanks* ....to all the bad-guys for footing the bill.

Connecticut's state police are criminals in their own right, with their padded pensions This fits.

The great return to the .45. It just does not have a replacement.

Why didn’t they get those Colt Rail Guns like the ones the Marines are buying? For what, maybe $100 more they could have a pistol made in CT. Don’t get me wrong, I like SIG. My PDW is a P226, but when a .45 is appropriate I’ll only roll with a 1911.

Unfortunately a lot of the “drug seizures” are not anything of the sort. Most is just money stolen from people that happened to be carrying too much cash when stopped and searched by the cops. It cost at least $5,000 to go to court to prove that the money was not the result of criminal activity so most people don’t bother unless it’s over that amount. This is a good example of why the seizure laws encourage cops to go out and seize even more, the more they take the more toys they can buy.

So let me make sure I understand.

Gubment employees directly, personally benefiting from assets siezed from private citizens. I know that it is very difficult if not impossible to fight the gubment in these cases. Especially with the relatively small amount of money involved. It can be easier and safer to simply move on with life rather than go to court in asset seizure cases.

As a small government conservative I think you have lost your mind to cheer on gubment union thugs who steal assets from private citizens and directly personally benefit. What are we The Mexican Republic now? I like my gubment weak and polite. I like my cops the same way.

So do you care to expand on your high opinion of gubment asset seizure? How can you possibly rectify your view with a small government conservative view of what government is? Care to explain?

SIG 220 .45, a top-of-the-line item. Well, at least the CT police won’t be able to blame a poor performace on their sidearms.

The police are selling the public their fake story about how they done good and now are being rewarded with new toys.

The truth is a good many of these “assets seizures” are not contested by good citizens who found themselves in the sights of criminal LEO, whose avarice leads them to concoct probable cause and then seizing other peoples property for the sole purpose of getting new bling.

I don’t like the asset forfeiture for its abuse alone.

paid for with money and other assets seized during federal and state investigations of drug dealers and other criminals

In brief, the pistols are being paid for with money stolen by the police.
