I have seen several stories recently come out as "news" that talk about a local law enforcement office arming themselves with AR 15s. I was not aware that LEOs did not have access to these weapons. Is this something new? I know they have sidearms and usually a shotgun in the trunk but is the AR not part of the armory for most forces?
