Huh?

Can you support this claim?

Can you support any counter-claim, Hank?

Why do people assume that just because police officers carry guns that any significant portion of them are actually firearms enthusiasts or even do any more training with their firearms than is required by their departments?

Do we assume that because police officers carry radios that some large portion of them are ham operators in their spare time?

Do we assume that because officers use computers in their cars and elsewhere in their jobs that any significant number of them spend their free time playing with Linux?

Would any rational person assume that because police officers use cars in their jobs that any significant portion of them are into building hot rods, restoring old cars, watching NASCAR, or any other auto related hobby?

Do you figure that because police officers carry handcuffs that any significant number of them use handcuffs in their private "recreation"?

What is YOUR sample size to suggest that police officers, generally, are doing much more practice or training with their firearms than the bare minimum required by their department?

Note, I'm not saying what the number is or isn't. I'm just pointing out that to challenge someone else's claim is one thing. But to support a counter claim is quite another thing.

I'm pretty sure to be a cop at least one of those above statements have to apply to you

ABSOLUTELY! Thank you for bringing this up Hank! I have had 2 police officers tell me, they shoot ONCE every 3-6 months. That was enough to satisfy me! Thank youagain for reminding me to post that :)

I was with three departments. One very large, one medium and one small. All three required yearly qualifications. That's once a year folks! I currently shoot once a *month!* Ok, so I don't shoot any full autos, but I do shoot common handguns officers use on and off duty. I consider myself better trained than the average LEO. (my next door neighbor is a deputy sheriff and I'll bet him two doughnuts I am more proficient than he is):celebrate

Did you really just say that to show off? You just proved to me, and the rest of the forum, that you have no life. Will you tell the forum that you also play WoW and the Sims?

Good day Sir!
