(881 posts)Problem is, most cops would flunk out. Hell, the local PD here had to be threatened by the state with removing their cert to carry firearms if they didn't go qualify before they went. I shoot at a range that is frequented by police, only right before qualifications for the most part. They close the range when they qualify but I get to see them shoot. For the majority, they know next to nothing about weapons in general and once they start shooting past 5 meters they couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. I think you'll find that the majority of those evil "gun nuts" you guys like to lambast here could shoot rings around most cops. It's our hobby, we practice, and we enjoy it. Although there are exceptions, I know of one local officer I've watched shoot who is incredibly accurate with his firearm. Although, he's a gun guy because we've got into conversations about weapons before.
