Authorized Weapons General Order # 03-11 CONCORD POLICE DEPARTMENT Manual Code: 1.07 Section: OPERATIONS Effective Date: 08/30/2005 Accreditation Standard Reference: 1.2.2, 1.3.9 a, b, c, d, e, 1.3.10, 1.3.11 a, b, c, d, 1.3.12 Revised Date: 02/11/2020 Authorized Signature: Pages: 10 Authorized Weapons Discussion Sworn Police officers in Massachusetts are authorized to carry and use a variety of [1.2.2] weapons. M.G.L. c. 41, § 98, for example, permits officers to carry firearms as authorized by the Chief of Police. Policy It is the policy of the department to: 1. Require that all officers shall only carry firearms, ammunition and other weapons that are authorized by the department; and 2. Require that all officers be properly trained, and certified when appropriate, in the use of any authorized firearms or other weapons before being authorized to carry or use such weapons. Procedures and Guidelines Firearms Drawing Or Displaying An officer shall avoid the unnecessary display of firearms and not draw a firearm except when there is justification for its use to accomplish a proper police response. However, in responding to any potentially dangerous situation (i.e. searching a building pursuant to a burglar alarm or approaching a business establishment on a report of a robbery in progress, etc.), the officer should carry his/her firearm in a position that will facilitate its speedy, effective, and safe use. Officers shall not point firearms at persons in circumstances which are clearly unjustifiable. Authorized Weapons 02/11/2020 1.07 1 of 10 Authorized Weapons, Continued Permissible Officers shall only carry firearms and ammunition, and other lethal and less lethal Weapons and weapons issued or authorized by the Department while on duty. Ammunition [1.3.9] Officers shall carry their issued service weapon while on duty unless authorized by the Chief of Police to carry a different weapon. An officer shall not alter or modify his/her firearm or ammunition in any way without the express permission of the Chief of Police. [1.3.9] While off-duty, and identifying themselves in a law enforcement capacity, an officer may only carry firearms and ammunition authorized by the Department for which the officer has been qualified. (This will not apply to hunting or target practice.) [1.3.9 c] All on-duty weapons shall be reviewed, inspected and approved by a qualified weapons instructor or Armorer prior to carrying. [1.3.9 e] The Chief or his/her designee shall maintain a list of each weapon approved for official use. Any officer employed by the Concord Police Department may be issued a License to Carry (LTC), even if a non-resident. NOTE: Under Massachusetts General Laws, a police officer is authorized to carry an issued or authorized firearm at all times when on duty and may carry such firearm while off duty within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Also covered under Federal Law H.R. 218 (Law Enforcement Officers’ Safety Act of 2004/National Concealed Carry for Cops). On July 22, 2004, President George W. Bush signed H.R. 218, the “Law Enforcement Officers’ Safety Act,” into law. The Act, now Public Law 108-277, went into effect immediately. The bill exempts qualified active and retired law enforcement officers from local and State prohibitions on the carrying of concealed firearms. On October 12, 2010, President Barack H. Obama II signed S. 1132, the “Law Enforcement Officers’ Safety Act Improvements Act,” into law. The Act, now Public Law 111-272, went into effect immediately. The bill improves the ability of retired officers to comply with the documents required by existing Federal law when carrying a firearm under 18 USC 926C and makes other modifications to existing law. On January 2, 2013, President Barack H. Obama II signed H.R. 4310, the “National Defense Authorization Act,” into law. The Act, now Public Law 112- 239, went into effect immediately. The Law Enforcement Officers’ Safety Act (LEOSA) as amended can be cited as 18 USC 926B (for active duty law enforcement officers) and 18 USC 926C (for retired or separated officers).

  • Assault Weapons Ban of 2013
    ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN OF 2013 U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein A bill to ensure proper regulation of military-style 331 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition http://feinstein.senate.gov feeding devices. 2/13 20152370 Confronting Assault Weapons in Society More than eight years have passed since the federal Assault Weapons Ban on military-style firearms expired in 2004. Since then, more than 350 people have been killed and more than 450 injured by these weapons. Towns like Newtown, Aurora and Tucson are now known for the mass shootings that shocked the nation. Mass murders in these towns and others across America demonstrate all too clearly the need to regulate deadly assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. On January 24, 2013, we gathered to introduce a new Assault Weapons Ban of 2013. This legisla- tion, stronger than the 1994 bill, has two primary goals: • First, halt the sale, manufacture, transfer and importation of 157 of the most commonly-owned military-style assault weapons and ban an additional group of assault weapons that are particularly lethal because they can accept a detachable ammunition magazine and have one or more military characteristics. • Second, ban large-capacity magazines and other ammunition feeding devices that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. These devices allow shooters to fire numerous rounds in rapid succession without having to reload. We firmly believe that weapons designed for war have no place on the streets of a civilized soci- ety. We must enforce existing law and enact commonsense measures to stop the proliferation of military-style assault weapons while protecting the rights of law-abiding citizens who use guns for hunting, household defense or legitimate recreational purposes.

    Link to Downl0ad benelli m2 manual Downl0ad benelli m2 manual Download for free benelli m2 manual quick Start Guide Benelli CB-M2 Caseless SMG The Benelli CB-M2 was a submachine gun designed in the early 1980s around an experimental semi-caseless 9mm cartridge developed by Franchi. The gun itself looks fairly typical, with conventional controls, a bottom-mounted magazine, and polymer folding stock. The one external hint of its unusual nature is an open cutout located between the magazine and trigger guard, which is the ejection port for use when making the gun safe or clearing a dud round. Benelli CB-M2 submachine gun The 9mm AUPO ammunition (roughly equivalent to 9x19mm in ballistics) used in the CB-M2 is caseless insofar as it does not leave an empty case to be ejected after firing. Instead, the bullet jacket is extruded back as far as a typical 9mm cartridge, and the hollow interior behind the bullet is packed with powder. Instead of a normal primer, a ring of primer compound is built into the case just behind the bullet, much like a rimfire case. The hammer is located above the barrel, and strikes the cartridge through a hole bored in the top of the chamber. In order to affect a functional gas seal (normally done by the expanding brass cartridge case), the bolt runs a significant distance into the chamber. There is an extractor on the bolt which hooks onto the inside lip of the projectile. The extractor is only used for removing live or dud rounds, and is designed to slip off the round upon firing.
