- Its no longer semi-official, it is real and here now. Winchester has
- changed the name of the Black Talon to Law Enforcement Talon, not
- "Fluffy Bunnie Slippers". The
- new name seems to indicate that they have changed it only for law
- enforcement sales. That is, the name for the civilian market may
- remain the same. In any event, the San Bernardino County (CA)
- Sheriff's Department has already begun to purchase and issue the
- stuff.
