That's also what "informs" him about who there is who knows guns and tactical stuff- the cops and .mil of course! (And of course, the petite woman or the smart black guy on the cast will naturally be the smartest and most expert of those)<br /><br />I got exposed to some of the reality about cops and their gun skillz when I started shooting IDPA long ago. There were several cops who participated in our club matches who were the "motivated and interested" individuals you mention. A couple of them were firearms trainers for the local PD and Sheriff even. One of them told me that the typical cop he supervised at the range for their annual quals was so inept that it wasn't unusual for them to not be able to load and make ready without assistance from the RO. He told me that most cops were kind of intimidated by citizens who do shooting sports like IDPA, IPSC etc<br /><br />Yes, the bar is set pretty low because it would cost money and time to actually train cops to a more reasonable level. I also have been reading Greg Ellifritz for a while and he echos what you say to cops- any cop who wants to be actually competent is going to have to spend their own time and $ to get some training and experience. Their departments will almost never do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
