A friend of mine in the Kentucky State Police opened his gun safes to show off some of his stuff a couple months ago.
I was surprised he talked so openly about spiriting away dozens of firearms from the evidence lockers over the years. They all do it apparently.

deer at a 100 yds? Only with a precise head shot.

The M1 carbine filled the gap between the 800 yard garand and the 9 yard 1911.
The Garand was quicker on point in close quarters than the 19ll
On Topside watch on the subs they gave us a 1911 and a Remington 870, guess what I’m gonna clear the deck with?
And golly you can use them to hunt deer.

32 people now completely helpless to defend their homes against ARMED CRIMINALS. 32 law abiding citizens. Criminals don't relinquish the tools of their trade.

It aint that anemic Here in Colorado, a centerfire rifle cartridge has to have at least 1,000 ft-lbs of energy at 100 yards to be used on big game. .30 Carbine has 626 at that range.
By comparison, the lowly .30-30 (considered quite a slowpoke these days) has 1,357 ft-lbs of energy at 100 yards.
Yes, it is that anemic.

Anemic... No Pathetic! Well, I wouldn't to get hit by it. To put it into perspective, a .30 carbine at 100 yards has about the same muzzle energy as a .357 magnum at point blank range.
It is way too weak for big game hunting, though.

The M-1 carbine fires a pistol cartridge and is intended to replace the carrying of pistols for troops like radiomen, artillery men, mortar men, etc. Front line infantrymen do not carry carbines.

an H & R Topper chambered for 30-30 is a right handy rifle.

As a hunting rifle fior big game? Not so much...

There are no truly honest cops. Even the ones who wouldn’t spirit away a gun, but knows their buddy did, won’t turn him in.
