Spoke to a city cop in Fairmount Park today. He says they are now free to carry any caliber they prefer but the city mandates an 8-pound minimum trigger pull.

He believes this rule arose out of a case in New York City, where some of the cops seemed to have had no control over their triggers and they shot the bejabbers out of some low life.

And so the cops in Philly must suffer.

It seems to me that holding accurate aim would be difficult with such a strong trigger, actually making it more dangerous.

This cop thinks the new mayor is OK, but he said, "It's the rest of the city administration that's corrupt".
