Another example of why on-body carry is better.

Dang. Wonder if the handgun was in her purse or in a glovebox other type location.

I agree, on body carry is best. I teach my students the Alpha, Bravo and Charlie designations. I order of preference;

Alpha; strong side on the person

Bravo; elsewhere on the person

Charlie; Off body.

I don't think you can determine that from the information presented.

I agree, no SA. I think the biggest issue is not carrying on person. It's another confirmation for me, keep it on person.

That's from 2013. This was the officers personal vehicle and was basically carjacked at a gas station. Totally different.

A trend needs at least two data points. Maybe it's just coincidence they're both DPD.

Just look at this search and you will see it has happened many other places, not just Dallas https://www.google.com/search?q=guns+st ... 3&ie=UTF-8" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

That happened way too close to home.

Don't officers normally have BUG's?
