My brother-in-law is about to retire after 30 years in the St. Louis P.D.
When he grew up there were no guns and certainly no outdoor activities at all. His first exposure to firearms was at the training academy. His first week on the job he had to hold a prisoner at gun point for five minutes while things were getting straightened out by his sargent. That is the only time he ever drew his duty weapon. Lucky guy. He is not a good shot. Only shoots to qualify. His son is also on the force. He is a little more gung ho than his dad.
