L.A. cops will no longer get a membership pitch from the NRA along with their new Berettas. Patt Morrison writes in the L.A. Times that officers objected to the membership applications.

For them to seek to proselytize among our cops on Police Department property through the issuance of Police Department weapons is an outrage."
