yearly?? Cops should be made to spend at least an hour per month at the range, IMO

I would go for that! But it'd have to be convenient. Right now we have to drive five miles out of town and a mile down a "Baja 1000" boulder-strewn road...in our private m/v's.... to get to the range. An indoor range would be nice...used to have one at the old place. I think it got shot down in the new place because of lead-dust and other liability concerns...or just plain lack of money. Plus, the officers would have to go out of a duty shift or be paid overtime rate for off-duty attendence. That'd cost my city (not too big) $120,000/year...not including ammo.

I don't think the whiners would go for a range in-city: just too un-PC....promoting an atmosphere of violence, etc.
