Despite the name of Powell’s association, there’s no real affiliation with law enforcement and he has no law enforcement experience.
And, among the bicycle-mounted police officers in Panama City, the tactics aren’t likely to be applied, according to Cpl. Billy Carstarphen, who trains bike cops to dismount a bicycle and transfer to a firing position rather than shooting from a bike.
There are some problems inherent to the sport, Powell said. Gunfire is generally prohibited in the urban areas where Powell expects to find his bicyclists, and urban bikers might be disinclined to incorporate weaponry into their hobby. Bicyclists in rural areas might not bristle at the idea of packing heat and going for a ride, but they are “few and far between,” he said.
