There are very few good shooters among the uniformed guys, cops or
military. I'm not saying there are none. There are some who are real
marksmen with sidearms. But most I see don't shoot well. The cops are
by
far the worst, even at relatively short distances, like, oh, 21 feet.

Now, I would assume the military guys are more adept with rifles. But I
never see them shoot them, so I don't know for sure.



John, you should invite Harry to go down to the range at the Norfolk Navy
base. As retired military, I am sure you can go there and bring a guest.

Mostly active duty Marines shooting there, keeping their qualifications up
to date.
I spent some time there with my son ... usually the only civilian in the
joint. I was impressed.

Yes, I should.

But, this place is much closer.

I'd hate to have some civilian embarrass the Marines though.
