What Are They Teaching???
Safety warning this week via the Department:
Clean your gun snowflakes. If you don't care about you, fine.
But someone else might be relying on you.
UPDATE: To the unpublished ignoramuses:
Clean your gun snowflakes. If you don't care about you, fine.
But someone else might be relying on you.
UPDATE: To the unpublished ignoramuses:
If you read the top line, this is a SAFETY WARNING issued by the Department Range. It ought to be in the CO Book, but if it isn't, it's easily available on the AdminFax Messages. The entire story of the weapon failure DURING QUALIFICATIONS is related. The notice also points out that Ball Ammo is forbidden. So instead of "calling BS," why not show up on time, listen to what the Watch Lieutenant is saying, and take 5 minutes off the street and read through the message traffic?

Lol the rear sights are covered in shit
That looked like someone dropped it in a mud puddle.
Wow
even after two year hows does a firearm look like this. i mean did they just leave it in a bucket of water every night. it doesnt makes any sense.
WTF?
Damn...
That ball ammo looks sketchy as fuck
and that pistol looks like any banger any
Policeman worth their salt would liberate
from any random m/fer on the street.
It looks like it was lubricated with the dregs
from the bottom of the deep fryer at Hooks and run
through a 500 round course of fire using some cheap
and dirty Com-Bloc steel case shellac coated ammo.
We sincerely hope that isn't a Copper's weapon.
Point of pride and what not.
Your weapons SHOULD be "clean as a cat's ass."
An old T/F Heavy Weapons dude paid us that compliment
on a M640 we respectfully requested repair and a stone
job on.
And to this day, that little mofo still runs slicker
than grease through a Garfield Park goose.
Remember... Your gun MAY fail you...
Which is why you carry two...
Clean your gun and prevent any unwanted biological evidence .
Just ask Commander Evans.
That ain't a cleaning issue.
Probably how a few from 015 third watch look. What's weapon inspection?
Wow. Thats pretty sad.
If you cannot clean your own damned gun, get someone to do it for you.
Then take it to the range and fire a few mags.
Make damned sure it works.
The little bit of crud from a box of ammo won't cause a problem.
That’s just nasty
This department is a joke and full of lazy asses!! It’s not hard to go to Walmart and buy a gun cleaning kit for less than $30 and go on YouTube and look up vids on how to clean a gun! Takes less than 15 minutes! Idiots!
And don't use cheap steel cased ammo! Wolf
Looks like someone showers at the high-ready and with their Glock....lol
In the 10th District years ago on the Midnight Watch we had an Old School Boss who used to bring out a tool box every Wednesday. Before roll call he use to layout a plastic tablecloth and a bunch of brushes, patches, oil and solvent. Roll call was short and everyone was invited to go to the pizza oven, field strip their weapons and use this stuff.
No excuses, no one went out with a dry gun. A few times when cops used their guns they performed flawlessly.
The Old Man retired and that perk faded away.
Blame has to lie with this idiot, good on the range guys for making this known.
The Military Draft has been gone for almost 50 years! Many Millennial Recruits have never even held a firearm until they reach the academy. Years of anti-gun indoctrination means that many of these snowflakes have no intention of ever even using a firearm in their careers. If the weapon in those photos was carried by a Chicago Police Officer; that Officer should be suspended or fired! He/She, or a He-She has no idea of what they may encounter and is clearly an incompetent. Baby "G"
Please tell me that is not the ammo they carry on duty!
I have a Glock 36 that I wanted to see how long it would go uncleaned before it had a stoppage, 1000 round later and it was still going and looked cleaner than the one shown in your pic. I cleaned it at that point and it's been cleaned after every trip to the range sense. But in Chicago the cop that that belongs to will get merit promotion and will be your next sergeant.
Thats what a pistol looks like if you lube it with hair gel!
That's what that cheap ass Russian ammo looks like brand new outta the box.
My work tools are not nearly as important as that of PO, but I'll be dammed if they are ever that bad.
Looks like a hood heater
Since many districts and units mass transit,airports etc stopped Wednesday inspections bet more weapons are like this! Lazy bosses not checking and doing their jobs jeopardize every copper!
And that furniture with slots in the background is for cpd emails?
Glock fanboys gonna be like " it a Glock, it always works! That's why its highly recommended by the range guys! The best pistol in the world!"
Does this person clean their gun with chocolate?
That never happened with my Smith and Wesson Model 13. I will let you kiddies out there figure that one out.
Sponge Bob square pants’ gun
If you cannot clean your own damned gun, get someone to do it for you.
Then take it to the range and fire a few mags.
Make damned sure it works.
The little bit of crud from a box of ammo won't cause a problem.
Just ask Barb West?
She never cleans her weapon. And has to ask her staff to clean her weapons.
Remember Earned not Given?
Her revolver has never been out of holster and the rounds are turning green.
I'm an old HBT guy, we o ld timers put a drip of oil on our semi auto pistols on the 1st and 16th day of the month. Paydays.
We are doomed!
My father made me learn how to properly clean a firearm well before he let me take my first shot. In turn, I had my grandson learn how to clean a firearm before he took his first shot. With all the endless possibilities where things could go bad on a call, the last thing you want to here in a bad situation is "CLICK". Could very well be the LAST thing you ever hear! Whoever possesses that firearm should have their FOID revoked for stupidity.
And the Op paid extra cash for those sights yet still cant clean a gun or use decent ammo. A Glock right? Glock extractors can get snotty when they accrue a lot of dirt because the extraction process can dig little burrs in the metal that collects grunge so a simple clean may not be enough, that is if you think anything on a Glock isn't simple.
Look it up on you tube and dissemble/clean/lube correctly.
I thought Glock’s operated under any condition. I guess that doesn’t in clude the Dumb Ass condition.
Sorry to say coppers fall into 2 category's "gun guys" and guys that it's just part of the uniform no different than a belt or shirt . Seen it for years , come time to qualify we got broke springs in a pistol carried everyday or one that has seen any oil or been apart since the last time . For fuck sake take the damn thing apart more than once a year and clean the fuzzies out and put some oil on it . Make sure it functions and then chuck that ammo out of the mag and put in fresh.............
The Glock is a wonder weapon. You don't need to clean it. (unlike Smith/Wesson's autos)
I sincerely hope a number or spar was issued. This ass clown could be backing you up someday. Atrocious.
If only that gun could talk. Unbelievable what that gun went through. Did anybody plays "Taps"?
Come on.... even us regular citizens with a lick of common sense know to clean or weapons on a regular basis. Or is the generations of kids growing up playing first person shooter games, with cheat codes to unlimited lives and ammo, and never having to clean a weapon to blame. Is this not part of training? Do any of the CPS high schools have ROTC anymore or rifle teams? The current crop of SJW's keep on blaming the NRA for killings, which is BS, but the NRA has been pushing safety and training since its inception. Critics can keep spewing their BS but most of us know better. Maybe go back to .38 revolvers?
Glocks are some of the easiest weapons to clean. No excuse.
While it may not be the approved cleaning procedure, field strip and spray out the innards with brake cleaner, followed by a good drying with compressed air and a few dabs of oil and done.
Certainly better than that gun.
Must of blown off all the dust bunnies beforehand?!
This is what a Glock looks like after smoking two packs a day. Just say no kids.
10th District Midnight Lt would lay out gun cleaning supplies......
The Old Man retired and that perk faded away.

*step up to the plate there boy!!!! its your turn to be the man
In the 80's in 015 we had stand up roll call almost every day and weapon inspection every Wednesday. Nobody whined or cried. WTF is wrong with this generation?
A TERMINALLY DYSFUNCTIONAL police department. very sad
This department is a joke and full of lazy asses!! It’s not hard to go to Walmart and buy a gun cleaning kit for less than $30 and go on YouTube and look up vids on how to clean a gun! Takes less than 15 minutes! Idiots!
Few baby wipes will suffice, save yourself the $30. Wipes worked on M4's in the desert and work on pistol Glocks as well. Tested.
Have a nice day.
Obviously the need for weapons inspections is demonstrated by the pictures. Don't complain the owner of this weapon is just the one that got caught. The one piece of equipment that might save your life and you carry it in that condition? Stupid is as stupid does, hope stupid is not your partner. Better check your life may depend on it.
Damn . . . I feel ill at ease if I put off cleaning even for a few hours after range time. When I went out to FrontSight for the 4-day Defensive Hand Gun Course, I cleaned my 1911s EVERY NIGHT for the duration of the course. 1200+ rounds fired with only a handful of stovepipes and one FTF, caused by a damaged mag lip.
Others have quoted this line but it bears repeating;
It's YOUR hide. How much do you value it?
I hate libs who think that having a badge automatically makes one more competent with a firearm. The amount of things wrong there is just absurd. That is a great way to get one killed, get a member of the public killed or get a peer killed. Take care of your gear, so it can take care of you when you need it most! That gun and its ammo looks like it spent a week at the bottom of the river!
Years ago in 15 a P.O. , who shall remain nameless, had in his dump pouch, not extra ammo mind you, but a note telling him, and I quote: "Buy Ammo"!
A huge number of coppers are too cool for school when it comes to weapons maintenance. I offer repeatedly to help anyone interested at roll calls but nobody every accepts the offer. Then they have maintenance related failures at the range or in the street and wonder what happened. The horse can be led to water.....
Kind of reminds me of a guy that all his magazines loaded backwards...Bullets facing the wrong way. And that folks, is why we have weapons inspection. Me however, I cant load my revolver backwards...
Hey, Snowflakes, don't let them goofs at the range try to embarrass you over service pistol cleanliness.
Regardless of manufacturer or finish of the weapon, 99.9% can safely be cleaned in a residential dishwasher once field stripped - TOP RACK ONLY!
A quick blast of Pam or equivalent non-stick cooking spray prior to reassembly and you're good to go.
Hate to say it but if the owner sent a round thru this it may blow up in their hand. No telling whats in that barrel.
I'd hate to see this guy's teeth.
Is it just me, who the fuck uses Wolf ammo, that's what it looks like.
Anybody calling BS on this be advised: I was the guy who was asked," if I give you my gun on my RDO can you take a look at it ?" Here's a short list of the results of inspection. Rusted shut,bug eggs,paper clips in the bore ( thrown in a desk drawer by Officer house mouse) bullets rusted in to the magazine/cylinder etc. When it was all wheel guns it was common to recover 06 different rounds (01 hollow point,01 round nose,01 wad cutter,01 357 mag, 01 38 special etc ) When the transition to semi-auto took place nothing changed.I always wondered what their home looked liked ? Business always was good when it was time to qualify, I never charged USC but I had more coffee than I could drink and seldom payed for lunch. Anybody who's been around has seen the rusted shut handcuffs , the metal flashlights that needed an EPA haz mat team to remove what was left of the batteries and the holsters that were dry rotted with the safety strap hanging by a thread.Modern plastics helped with the rust problem but if you don't maintain your equipment you don't maintain your equipment.We all have worked with the guy who obviously owns only one uniform,no washing machine or iron and has the nick name "crusty". Many firearms are in the same shape as that squad you have to shovel and air out before you can enter it. Good times!
Nothing new. In the wheel gun days. During weapon inspection the watch commander would sometimes find officers with green ammunition and frozen cylinders. This problem is the fault of the individual officer not maintaining his equipment and the supervisors who fail to do a good regular weapon inspection.
Fucking disgraceful. whoever owns this weapon ought to be stripped.
Some idiot in my department (no longer there, fortunately, fired for scamming worker's comp) was walking around with the ENTIRE rear sight MISSING from his gun.....for at LEAST a month. This was learned from his own admission. Another range guy noticed it and called him out to the Sgt. on duty. He was immediately taken off duty and made to go to the local gun store to get it replaced. Frickin moron.
i heard they found it on the bottom of the sea in a treasure chest inside a sunken pirate ship.
Nice. I'm a civilian and I CC every day, IWB. I thought I was a little lazy. I sometimes go a few weeks between cleanings. When I do clean it, there's maybe a little lint in there, and there's always a thin sheen of oil from the previous cleaning. (probably explains the lint) I also empty the mag and wipe down the ammo. And clean and oil the inside of the mag. (When was the last time YOU did this? You might be surprised what you find in there...) There's not a hint of anything that even vaguely resembles corrosion of any sort in mine. If you don't have a lot of time, the whole process can take less than 5 minutes, especially if you do it on a regular basis. Don't be like this guy (or gal). Clean your weapon once in a while. Goes without saying, but make sure it's unloaded before you do...
What does glock have to say about their " indestructible pistol" now!? Finally met it's match. Hah
Whenever they find a gun like this, the idiot that can’t perform a simple task of cleaning their gun should be SPARed for incompetence and stupidity. It might actually save their life.

Babs doesn't have the time otj to primary carry
a wheel-gun. And how would you know the bullets
in her "revolver" are green if the damned thing
has never been out of the holster?
Other than that, everything you say about her is true.

You're actually blaming the supervisors and not those Officers for having dirty guns?
Does your mommy still wipe your ass too?
The Taures seized on South Merrill today looked WAY cleaner.....
Don’t think Glocks were put through the Doritos test. Hooghly it’s some chips
When I was a cop my gun was clean and my mind was dirty. Retired and feeling sorry for for CPD. The current mayor has shit for brains.
stop or I'll throw my gun at you cause it does work
I'm no detective but that looks like coffee. Cleary using it to mix his Starbucks.

Hey, please pass my number to that officer. I’m very interested in his work history. Sounds like the ideal CPD merit promotee I’ve been looking for, he’ll fit right in!

You forget about the higher chances of the weapon "accidentally" discharging every day. No thank you. You always knew where to stand in roll call.
Btw, just want to throw this out there to those of you who practically never clean their weapons. Whenever you’re on furlo, why not take your weapon to your local gun shop and have it professionally cleaned?! It doesn’t cost much and will be ready in a day or two. For fucks sake, your life or someone else’s might be depending on it! I’m
Send it back to Glock they will refurbished for under a hundred bucks.
Wow! I have a concealed carry license and clean my pistol at least once a month, more if I'm doing dirty jobs (I'm in construction ). It takes 5 minutes to disassemble and wipe down with an oiled patch. That one looks like it was at the bottom of the river for a month. I've put 300 rounds through mine in a range session and it doesn't look nearly like that.
And what's up with that cheap Russian ammo?
Wolf ammo? Doesn't the agency issue real ammo?
That rear sight is nasty
This guy kept his auxiliary weapon in his toilet tank to hide it in his house. That’s why it looks like that. True story.

Second,go lecture someone else. Goof.
fnp90 > great for not passing through target and hitting bystanders
my bad did not have my glasses on, thought that was a p90
you know they bury these guns in vacant lots where they get dirty and wet
just assume that the officer on your watch who looks like they slept in their uniform for the last week also has a firearm that looks like this

This has to be one of the laziest most millennial ideas I ever heard. How do you start your post calling others snowflakes with advice like that? Man, I’m so embarrassed and afraid knowing that coworkers like you exist. If you told me some shit like this in person, I would bust your balls relentlessly. You’re gun, a weapon you carry daily, in a fucking dishwasher? Really guy? Pam? Yeah, it’s an oil but does it gunk up in time/weather? I can’t believe I’m even asking you the properties of Pam as a gun lubricant. You and the owner of the pictured weapon ought to be put in for the Darwin Award.
Your previous post critiquing Officers for calling out shots fired in 015 makes perfect sense now.
My God, when was the last time it was cleaned? Clean it or get put on the mayor's personal security team!

Jeezus-H-Christ!!!
Sarcasm & Silliness, you brainless fucking dolt.
I myself don't use the sights anyway. I point shoot. If the target is that far away that you must use sights, it's too far.

Some years ago there was a store front pool hall on 16th Street that was a senior citizens hangout. An off duty cop was there around midnight playing pool and at 56 years old he was the youngest guy there.
Two gangbangers walked in and announce a robbery and fire two shots into the ceiling. The ODPO takes cover behind a pool table and pulls his Ruger Security-Six from an ankle holster. He fires...BANG! (into a wall) ...click ...click ...BANG! (into a window) ...click ...click.
The two would be robbers flee with no cash and no injuries.
We examined his gun and it was full of lint and kept the revolver from firing.
Thank God no one was hurt.
Weapon inspection is on Wednesday. Too bad these knucklehead bosses can't save these PO's from themselves.

BEER SPEW! ROFLMAO THANK YOU!
A long time ago it was ingrained in my head CLEAN YOUR WEAPONS. (Thanks Dad)
Now...once a month fired or not the following are Stripped cleaned oiled greased and
re assembled (with printed record)
Beretta 96
SW 4006
SW MP 40 Fullsize
Sig P 250 Compact DAO
Mossburg 500A
Colt AR-15
Its just a lazy person (cop or not) that doesnt take the the time to clean his/her weapons. The above list is cleaned and reshelved/re holstered in under 30 minutes. If I do maint. on the knives and holsters add another 10 minutes. My Beretta is 25 years old and aside from holster wear on the slide it is in MINT condition as are all my weapons. Look your LIFE depends on these tools. Make SURE you keep them operational. Please!
Dog-asses, will be dog-asses. Echo the sentiments of those who wonder WTF does the PO's house look like, his/her clothing, etc. No pride? No nothing other than gimme, gimme I be special?
On the bright side (if there is one) the gun IS a Glock and absent any physical damage to the gun, even in that state of uncleanliness it will almost certainly go "Bang!" repeatedly. To me the condition of the gun was disgusting, but the scary part was the choice of ammunition. I might shoot Eastern European/Asian shit at the range for shits and giggles if somebody GAVE it to me for free. I'd wouldn't buy it and I would NEVER carry it.
The copper carrying that stuff is the guy who'll only eat at the places that feed coppers for free even if it is closed by the health department on a regular basis.
Jeez!
