Read the story here. Will be on display in Boulder on Tuesday the 19th.

Boulder County sheriff buys new armored vehicle with Homeland Security grant - Longmont Times-Call (http://www.timescall.com/news/longmont-local-news/ci_20856056/boulder-county-sheriffs-office-buys-new-armored-vehicle)

Looks like this one,

Lenco Armored Vehicles - Protecting Our Nation's Defenders™ (http://armoredtrucks.com/bcat-g3.aspx)

Will take a .50-cal round. Wonder if those are run-flat tires.

glad they noted that the vehicle which can withstand a .50 cal round can also withstand a bottle or brick thrown at it. I thought maybe that was its one weakness. :rolleyes:

Very cool! I'll actually be there for training during the time it is on display. If I can I'll try and snap some pictures of it and post them up.

it's cool for sure, but what are they going to do with it? Boulder County must be a lot rougher than I thought!!

Well, with something like that coming your way, if you don't have your handy dandy LAW with you, you had best book...Why waste .50 rounds? And, if your are really stupid enough to stand around and throw bricks at a rig like this or a Striker, then Darwin is going to raise his head and sort you out...
