That alone means they are - statistically speaking - probably lying. Then there is the actual content of their statement that makes the probable lie look like a certain lie: HP rounds for training is claptrap, as everyone in America knows (by virtue of their gun culture). That means the order is for something else that is... not training. It's really not rocket science mate.
Nor is it replacing the spent 5.56 rounds (as a 9mm won't shoot from a 5.56 without a conversion put in place). Nor is it for international conflicts, as that is illegal.
Maybe they are replacing 9mm's shot during training, and they're looking to hire LOADS more state troopers, but let's be honest....I'm not too fussed.
It's interesting news, none-the-less.
