Harry said, "A dirty gun... (in the header) ...is a safe gun. (in the

I hope no one believes that a dirty gun is a safe gun. --

Gosh...the point was that there are so many accidental shootings related
to gun cleaning, that it seemed that leaving the gun dirty was "safer." It
was meant as a joke, especially since a chief of police apparently shot
himself while cleaning a supposedly empty gun. You'd think cops would know
better, but...no, they don't.

Just wondering, do officers from the rank of Major up get firearms training
in the US Army?


Not unless they're being assigned a new weapon in a new theater of
operations. Then they'll undergo an orientation course.

Most weapons training occurs during basic training, with annual
requalifications thereafter.
