Use of Weapons

Although there are a number of instances when the bad guy has a gun, the episodes "Rainy Day", "Peaks and Valleys", and "Karate" are the only episodes where a CHP officer pulls his weapon. In each of these three times, it's always Baricza.

During the opening theme, Ponch's weapon can be seen in its holster.

In the second version of the Season 6 opening, Bruce is seen target shooting.
