Ok, I'm a little old, but not dead, and I might be a little fat but it's expected at my age, and I'm NOT inbred, my parents came from different hollars and I think riding the busiest beat in the busiest District in Hooterville counts for something
I can't argue with what Rancid said. Short of forming your own SWAT team a DM program is probably your best option. It all depends on the size of your force and budget of course and the willingness of the powers that control the purse and policy. RC was right about what I meant about asking LA SWAT for advice. You might also want to contact DOCJT. They just started a training course for designated marksmen and may have some valuable information. Besides, it's always better to present ideas that came from a Government agency than to say "I got it off the Intranet", even if it's the same information. If you would like, I can try to get you some contact information. |

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

For clarity, my remark about old, fat, inbred redneck was not directed at anyone, at all. My intention was to say basically what BeltFed said (but he said it better): info from the internet should always be suspect. Some of us know quite a bit about what the OP wishes to accomplish, but me saying I know something and me actually knowing something: very different things.
If I offended anyone, I apologize. Carry on.

I think your post's were very insightful, both Lynn and RC. I pray the OP takes what these men said in consideration. They KNOW.
I had no business trying to lecture the OP on when, how, why and with what an operator should deploy a sniper or DM weapon in a forward area, because I am woefully unqualified. Respectfully.

Thanks again guys. We do talk to LAPD all the time. We are a state agency and have co-jurisdiction. Per MOU we use their SWAT team. The problem we face is that because of West LA traffic their ETA on a good day is really bad. As for the scenario I described happening? I already has. We have one of the largest hospitals on the west coast and it has a rather large ding ward. We also have three bus lines that terminate on our campus. We get way more than our fair share of nuts. Add in that no matter what someone may be unhappy about, (animal research, global warming, oil, stem cell research, blah blah blah) they have a beef on our campus. It really is a crazy place at times.
I've ordered the SS 3x9 so I'll see how that goes. This rifle will probably be changed around considerably before we're through. By the time we settle on something I'm liable to be retired!

The 3-9x SS is a really nice scope.

Let us know how it goes. Unless I am misreading your description, both my wife and I went to grad school at your university, so if you need help with something let me know. I live about 25 minutes away. ILya

I also suggest that you look at the SS 1-6x.

I too would be more inclined to go 1-6 - or a 3-9 with a red dot.

I like that idea.
SS 3-9X42 with a Trijicon RMR offset on a 45 degree mount.

works great, I am comfortable for 10 yards to 500, which is nice. |
