	Police Turning to 9-mm
		Many police departments in Westchester may soon join the ranks of law-enforcement agencies nationwide that are replacing the time-honored.38-caliber revolver with a 9-millimeter semiautomatic pistol as a standard weapon.
		The two weapons are roughly equivalent in power, but the primary advantages of the 9-millimeter semiautomatic pistol are that it can fire up to 19 bullets without reloading, and reloading is as simple as replacing a ''clip'' or magazine.
		The police departments that have recently changed the guns used by their officers have generally chosen a 9-millimeter semiautomatic pistol, some of which can fire as many as 20 rounds without being reloaded.

	Pistol Whipped
		A common semiautomatic pistol, which in Virginia can be bought by anyone off the street.
		Virginia, in fact, has long been held up as the sort of state with lax gun-control laws that lets criminals from DC and New York waltz in, stock up on artillery, and bring the weapons home to momma.
		In response to reporters asking whether this will change White House gun-control policy all Perino had to say was that "As far as policy, the President believes that there is a right for people to bear arms." She then proceeded to duck all further critical inquiries like a fundie confronted with a trilobite fossil.
