I'm aware police officer's using training weapons such as these. But, with my experience at public parks, if a young man such as myself were running or excercising in the early hours of the morning, the police were often called by overly cautious elderly people who assumed I was on drugs, and I'd usually be frisked by a police officer. I'm not questioning the professionalism of police officers, but I'm planning on moving to Orange, Ca. I can just imagine a scenario where I'm rucking in limited light, and someone calls from their apartment saying they see someone walking around a local park with an assault weapon. I'm just trying to minimize my risk of death, I'm really not taking the piss at police officers. Also, I think your assesment of this being one of the dumbest things you've ever heard is incorrect. As I've suffered from frequent police harassment in the past--being that I was olive-skinned, and had long hair--frequent friskings and police harassment was the order of the day. I was accused of being homeless while perusing a mall--and I was arrested for public intoxication when it was really something more akin to vagrancy, but as certain areas in Texas do not have vagrancy laws, it became a matter of officer's discretion. I volunteered for a urinanalysis, and blood test, and was plainly refused by the local police department. So I dont think it's stupid to assume you might be shot by a police officer when he might rightly assume you have an assault rifle which just might be discolored by the moonlight or lack thereof.
