(WARNING: 21+) LVMPD released videos showing officers fatally #shooting carjacking suspect during police #pursuit. Las Vegas, Nevada — On April 21, 2020 at approximately 1:55 p.m., an LVMPD Patrol Officer noticed a four-door sedan driving erratically on Charleston Blvd and I-15. A record check of the plate revealed the plate had been stolen under a previous event. The #LVMPD Air Unit was monitoring the vehicle as it continued to drive erratically through multiple parts of the city. At approximately 3:05 p.m., the vehicle came to a stop in the area of Twain and Paradise. The suspect exited the vehicle holding a firearm and attempted to carjack a citizen. Officers who were monitoring, and following nearby, immediately engaged the suspect. The officers discharged their firearms, striking the suspect. The suspect was transported to Sunrise hospital where he was pronounced deceased.

In the world of firearms and all the accessories that go with them, it’s easy to jump to some false conclusions based on the pictures generally used. For instance, some holster manufacturers use pictures of a full-size compensated handgun for off-duty and/or concealed carry. Add in the mounted optic and the seemingly mandatory flashlight, and the representation is that the average concealed carry handgun is a combat weapon system. Those pictures often show the handgun with three to five spare magazines along with a trauma kit, knife, some rifle magazines and body armor. Is all of that shown just to make the handgun look cool? Is the manufacturer trying to sell the holster and everything else shown is just to look “tacti-cool?” What is realistic? We decided to examine those three different scenarios and take a look at what is commonly carried instead of what you might be lead to believe by the various marketing photos you see.
