Why does any firearms or ammo manufacturer or retailer sell anything to these police departments? In this case I would blackball the entire state. Let all the cops good or bad feel the pain.
He’s one of those cops that believes only the police should be armed. He’s one of those jealous cops that probably was bullied when he was a kid and grew up thinking I’ll show them when I get a badge and a gun who’s boss. As a second responder (the armed citizen is always the first responder) he has no credibility especially in a crime ridden state like NJ. He is a jerk and is a person of no consequence. Ignore this fool.
Hell, the cops in the Northeast are all anti-gun. More specifically, anti-gun for YOU, not themselves. They don’t think you “civilians” are capable of handling a gun. Only “they” have what it takes. You people in NY, NJ, MA, PA, MD, CT etc. know what I’m talking about. Oh, there may be one or two low-level officers that recognize the power of the Second Amendment.

I wonder if the Colonel appreciates irony? His job is to uphold the law, the Constitution is the law of the land. His comment shows that HE is one of the reasons that the Second Amendment is

“The guns that do exist are in the hand of the right people.” WTF So, all lawful gunowners are not the “Right” kind of people? Both of these SOB’s need to be removed from office, and disarmed.
The Nazi Gestapo have all the guns they want but do not need. POS hypocrites!
This message is worthy of expression to your elected representatives. I have and will continue to present this hypocrisy to them in calls, emails and testimony at legislative committee meetings. Ultimately each need to be recalled when in violation of such an oath. Vote, campaign for the right people, call, write. ACT.
New Jersey has been run by communists far too long. The only reason communist states and cities get away with violating the national laws is because the federal government is negligent. The feds are quick to act if the other sections of the Bill of Rights are violated but strangely never act on second amendment violations.
Could the communists now control the DOJ ? Bet on it.
I swear he is a MORON wrapped in STUPID!
That’s just fine, as long as all LEO in NJ also don’t need their firearms or any other training for the duration. Disarm every office and seize any firearms from their homes for the duration, specifically including any firearms in any location where Callahan can be found.
