SaxonPig's wife is permitted to carry anything a CHCL allows, if she has one. Her badge, when issued, will not allow her to carry. The Glock is the one which has been at issue because I told her about the Glock Blue Label Program. Other manufacturers may have similar programs, but that remains unknown. Clearly, Glock only offers discounts on Glock pistols. . . .So the two issues are separate: (1) city issues a badge that does not allow her to carry (except in certain circumstances which are not present for us); and (as a separate issue) (2) Glock offers the Blue Label Program to LEOs, first responders, judges, prosecutors, etc. Glock isn't connected to the badge and the city isn't connected to the pistol.
How anyone could pick up a 1911 with its square, slab sided grip and call a Glock a 2X4 is beyond me. They ain't Purdy, but they work. While I can appreciate a pretty gun I have no place for nostalgia in a gun meant to keep me alive. Glocks work as well as anything and better than most.

I'd say that SaxonPig has had his questions answered. If not, I shouldn't be too hard for him to find.SaxonPig said:. . . . I wonder if she can deputize me? . . . .
