I'm afraid you are correct. I see "average" police officers at the
shooting range several times a month. A very few have extraordinary
handgun skills, but most are mediocre shots, even at the "typical"
defensive range of seven yards. Not enough paid time to practice?


And those are the ones at the range practicing.


It's not so much the marksmanship of them I am worried about, I am sure
most are at least as good as some kid who spent his life learning to
shoot with a gameboy in his hand... Either way, it's the training around
the firearms I am looking for. Conflict resolution, domestic violence
experience, ability to stop a violent situation without violence....


Okay, how does the above bull**** coincide with the CT shooter?
