Horrors yet....they may even carry 12 Gauge Shotguns with Buckshot or Flechette rounds.
When was the last time the Geneva Convention really mattered to the Terrorists and Drug Smugglers out there? Ever watch a video of a terrorist beheading a hostage?
They can also call in Air Force and Navy attack aircraft if need be....what's a pistol bullet compared to a 2,000 pound JDAM?
Get a life guys!
That whizzing noise is most of the thread sailing over your head SASless. Once again you jump to defending the US without actually reading what many have put.
In fact on this thread there is perhaps only one person who could possibly be described as 'whinging' (although they were just asking a question of legality, not bemoaning a round they might get hit with were they to do something that required it), everybody else as far as I can tell is purely answering the question in one form or the other.
Now step away from the keyboard and take a nice big breath.
