If cops show up at the range when I am there I immediately leave.
Such bravery.
The indoor range I used to shoot at was behind a police department, they was always a cop or two in the lanes.
As a group they are terrible with a handgun.
And when you point that out they get really ‘thin skinned’.
Good grief..... people you would think to have some common sense apparently don’t.
Has the world gone completely mad?
It has moved a long way in that direction.
It seems to be a by-product of long times of peace and prosperity.
If you go up to the Lethbridge police dept. faceplant page and scroll down to the post from May 5 you will find 3.5 thousand comments. Hilarious !

“I find your lack of faith disturbing”....
Just want to leave this on here since already several users are quoting that stupid meme about Stormtrooper shot accuracy.
Despite what the meme claims, Stormtroopers are NOT bad shots. Ignoring that an Empire ruled by fear kind of requires them to be extremely good shots precisely to ENSURE their reputation as soldiers that induce fear onto the populace more than is met, Obi-Wan Kenobi himself made it VERY clear that they were known to be very precise in their shots when encountering the slain Jawas. And the whole meme came about as the result of a complete misreading of the second half of the movie where the Stormtroopers were missing the heroes. Actually, the Stormtroopers were missing on purpose, as their orders were to let them get away specifically so they would unknowingly lead them to the Rebel base. Tarkin made that VERY apparent when he told Vader that the latter’s plan had better work, and even Leia implied such was the case when stating bluntly to Han and Luke that they deliberately let them escape, and obviously not out of a change of heart. And Empire Strikes Back was a similar story, as well.
As far as the actual article, let me get this straight, the police tackled and forcibly disarmed a lady in a costume for a popular series? That’s nuts! Though to be fair, apparently there was apparently a massive shootout at a convention a couple weeks or months before that event occurred.
