ONTARIO, Calif., Oct. 10, 2018 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The National Law Enforcement Museum will open to the public on October 13 in Washington D.C. and MAGLITE\u00ae representatives and San Bernardino County Sheriff Lieutenant Jim Considine will be in attendance to experience this momentous occasion.<\/p>\n

\"San
\nConsidine was severely wounded while on duty in a 1997 shooting. A bullet from an AK-47 rifle was deflected from a \u201ccenter-mass\u201d chest wound by the MAGLITE\u00ae flashlight the Sheriff was carrying. A video encompassing Considine\u2019s story is available at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JV0SL-53Ekc<\/a><\/p>\n

Mag Instrument, the manufacturer of the MAGLITE flashlight, is one of the earliest supporters of the National Law Enforcement Museum. The MAGLITE\u00ae brand will have items displayed in the Museum including the flashlight that saved the life of Jim Considine, a San Bernardino County Sheriff when his full sized rechargeable MAGLITE\u00ae flashlight blocked an AK-47 bullet and kept working.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat Maglite saved my life,\u201d said Considine. \u201cI am looking forward to being at the opening of the Museum and I thank Maglite for making that happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

The MAGLITE\u00ae brand has a strong connection with law enforcement who was the earliest large scale adopters of MAGLITE\u00ae flashlights which are known for their quality and toughness.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur law enforcement officers risk their lives every day to keep us safe,\u201d said Anthony Maglica. \u201cThis museum is a worthy addition to the monuments and museums in Washington D.C. to show visitors just how difficult and dangerous a job these individuals do for all of us every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
