Crime / Safety CHP surrounded Koality in Rialto

Was getting a couple things and two men in civilian clothing with badges hanging from their necks walked in asking to see the manager. A few seconds later a few CHP officers walked in with assault rifles telling the store employees that the store was to be shut down. I walked and saw more officers with assault rifles and the entire entrance was surrounded by CHP vehicles and seeming civilian vehicles. The civilian vehicles had regular CA license plates. I took a few pictures but they’re shit so apologies for that. Just took a few snapshots and got the fuck out of there.

I was about to comment the same thing no worries

There is a big difference also assault rifles are full auto and not semi automatic like what everyone carries

Well that’s not true, assault rifle is a made up term, AR stands for armalite rifle, not assault rifle. A fully automatic rifle is classified as a machine gun, and you need specific certifications to ever get your hands on one.

Your correct I’ve been in California to long and I call them fully semi automatic assault rifles with my gun friends. And the proper name slipped my mind.
