  1. What type of security is in the special. To be on the safe side security should I bring a Colt .45 cal 1911, point of aim is the point of impact at 10 yards! Or does one bring a .40 cal Glock or both for backup?

  2. Maplewood Police Department has an area specifically set aside for transactions. I saw the aign behind City Hall. IF I ever decide to do such a transaction I will do it there. BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.
