Is that true? Not saying it isn’t, just saying I am skeptical. Do you have these statistics, or a reference? I have heard opposite. But that could just be the not so subtle war on the constitution talking.
It is true.
They shoot more rounds than ccw citizens do in a fight, they hit the targets less times than ccw folks do, and they do more collateral damage to other people than ccw folks do. You can easily find supporting evidence here or searching.
Cops do rage qualifying once or twice a year, and for many it’s the only time they spend on the range. CCW folks generally spend a lot more time on the range. We don’t have the luxury of sovereign immunity and not beign personally liable. If we kill some bystander defending ourselves we’re liable.
I still remember one story about a perp in the back of a squad who somehow got a weapon and a gunfight began in the car with two cops and him, something like 40 shots were fired and nobody got hit by anything.
