I don't know about that 95% figure thrown out there above. Surely it must be regionally influenced. In my experience around here about half are not "gun guys." I've never met a female officer that was firearms oriented. Probably 20% of the guys I know and work with are knowledgeable gun guys. Another 25% or so are ok, have more than a basic rudimentary interest in firearms. For about half though they just really don't know any more about their gun and ammunition than they know about how the engine in their patrol car works. And they don't care about knowing anymore than they have to.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
