Indeed.

Have any of you shot with LEO and your local range. Even in a non-stressed range environment, not great, in fact often times scary.

Oh, and the, "It cost money to train these officers, money we don't have" - "We can't afford to go practice shooting on our own dime" it all bull schit.

If you are going to carry a firearm, learn how to use it and use it well, otherwise don't carry one.


I worked for an agency that spent a great many thousands of dollars sending the top brass to Florida for "Ethics in Law Enforcement" training. They also brought their wives and girlfriends.

But they could not afford to have us shoot more than a 60 round course of fire, twice a year and NO practice ammo was issued. Any extra ammo in your magazines was made to emptied back into the boxes after the quals.

Of course the Chief Deputy would brag that he had shot tens of thousands of rounds through his sidearm in spite of the fact that he did no actual police work, and was purely an administrator (and as dirty as they come).. The dude was and is a total piece of schidt. The agency makes crooked old southern Sheriff's offices look progressive... Want a felony charge to go away, make $xx,xxx donation to the prosecutor's or Sheriff's re-election campaign..

And you wonder why the cops who work the street don't have any money in their training budget? Ask the guys who take it and spend it on "training" trips with their girlfriends..

Nothing new.
