I’ve been curious about something for the longest time ...
How is it that civilians who become cops by attending a Police Academy suddenly become the only people around who are fully trusted with the use of firearms? Yet that same civilian who attends a “civilian” firearm safety class is barely trusted with a gun and is held in suspicion when armed?
Is police training THAT much more intense and involved than what most gun owners are required to receive to obtain a permit? (In states that require such schooling, of course.) Obviously I haven’t attended a Police Academy, if that wasn’t obvious.
Or is it just that our political overlords simply don’t trust us, which is most likely the bottom-line cause?
I have shot with several cops. None were very good. I am sure there are good ones out there.
In a word ..YES !
and it is constantly evolving to cover new scenarios, and constant updating .
