Since a number of you guys are/were law enforcement, how much firearms training/qualifications do average beat cops get, and how quickly do they usually pick up on it?
A couple cops Ive been friends with were not uncomfortable with firearms, but certainly not well versed.
One other guy is a shooter and hunter, and he's good to go. Another good friend is a loomis driver/manager, and my favorite FFL, so he's good to go also.
I'm curious if its a training thing, or if it's something that some folks just never really get, and some do.
And the reason I ask, is because I figure cops, and armed security, are probably the most likely civilion jobs where a non "gun person" is put in a position to need the knowledge to do thier jobs.
