gun sniffing dog? is that a thing?

[wilson911]

Per a FB post in the past month, my former PD's dog just finished training to detect guns and gunpowder. I'm friends with his handler and if we ever connect again I'll see if the dog detects it on me or not. Since I hate going into MA except for hit-and-run doctor appointments, it's really unlikely that I'll make that connection however.

These are known as Probable Cause Terriers. As long as they indicate on a car in any way, they pass the course.

Yup - our HS in Bedford, NH brings in dogs that "sniff' gun and drugs a few times a year. They announce it in advance and it's in the local news. I guess they want to catch the really dumb kids with guns and drugs. The smart ones contribute to the GPA and college admissions statistics

Neiman Marcus hires gun-sniffing dogs to patrol Mag Mile store. And they apparently work.

Gun-sniffing dogs alerted Neiman Marcus security guards when Derrick Latham walked in. He was arrested for having a gun at Christian Dior in September.

It's a nice read about "catch and release".

It's all fun and games until some wag walks down the hallway swabbing locker banks
with a bong water soaked sponge, like Ruby Rhod signing autographs.
