Seriously, his kids are grown, just him and his wife. The front page article in the newspaper reported that he felt it was a safe and out of the way place to keep the loaded weapon. Gotta give him credit--didn't hide it, and imposed departmental discipline on himself. Nevertheless, a Glock does make a tasty treat if slowly cooked, basted, and served with red potatoes and gravy. A little stuffing up the mag well adds a nice touch!!
Note: Madison is the ultraliberal capital of Wisconsin. City ordinance prohibits gunshops in city limits. The newspaper adopted a policy of refusing to run guns for sale ads in the classifieds. A morton grove ban on firearm possession was proposed and would have passed but higher court and legislative action. The newspaper, Wisconsin State Journal, reports all crimes involving the use of semi-automatice weapons as "automatic" weapons. Even if confronted with their misleading reporting, the newspaper refuses to publish a correction. What is suprising is the complete, and I mean complete, lack of criticism of the Chief. AND most alarming, is any print regarding gun safety. Why--gun safety is an non-issue-guns in any form are unnecessary and evil. To acknowlege gun safety is to acknowlege private ownership of firearms.
