Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss Canadian Cop Joke

I've got my grandfathers' baton, his service revolver,his back-up gun and the revolver that the Chicago PD presented to him when he retired. His baton looks like it was used a few times. He was a Chicago Policeman from 1919 'till 1949 IIRC. It has a few places on it where the Hickory "stain" is a bit darker....... He went thru a LOT being a beat cop, then a detective in Chicago during the 20's and 30's.

I'll bet he's rolling over in his grave now if he sees the handguns with flashlights attached to them. One night he went into an old building after a bad guy. He was holding his flashlight out to the side of his body, at arms length, searching the building. The bad guy fired at the flashlight, missing my grandfather, but my grandfather returned fire, shooting at the muzzle flash, killing the other guy. If he would have had the flashlight in front of him, he would have been shot.
