Yup. One of the "only ones" who should be allowed weapons.

Fine with me if they are only killing themselves.

OOOoooooo! That's gonna leave a mark! Dumbass. ::cool::
Ignorance should be painful. Stupidity, fatal.

God help us they have guns.

Most cops hate that they have to stay qualified on the gun range. The reason why? Most are lousy shots and don't handle their weapons very well. Most hunters are far better shots then an average cop.
I can't help but think those range requirements are being less and less strict then the other way around. I know I had a very angry cop when i pushed his barrel away so it wouldn't be pointing at people after he ignored my verbal (and other peoples) warning. Thankful the crowd was angry at him not me. I hate incompetent cops with a passion. The endanger the good ones out there. I have two cop friends, one is a great cop, the other one I hope gets fired before he causes more trouble........

When they keep lowering the standards to accept more minorities, what do they expect?

Doesn't matter what ethnicity he is, if he can't shoot or dumber than a rock, you're going to have a problem.

Alan's point wasn't the skin color, it was the lower standards due to affirmative action.

Cool, I see! ::facepalm::

And yet, somehow, I'm the one who doesn't need firearms? I also agree with Alan, lowering standards is very nearly never a good thing

The worst is the cop who thinks he is a firearms expert merely by virtue of wearing a badge, especially when this manifests itself as a haughty attitude to "civilians" owning and using firearms themselves. As you say, the average rank and file cop gets the minimum required range time per year. I would bet your average gun buff is a better shot than the average cop.

In all my years, even as I have gotten older with poorer eyesight, I am never outshot by a cop. The only one I have known personally who could shoot was a retired officer from WAAAAAY back. He is now long dead and was sure a different era. I think he had retired in the 70's. He could actually SHOOT his revolver. He was the sort who could put it in a perp's eye over the shoulder of a hostage. Most cops nowadays just spray the area, and most use semi-auto, high capacity handguns. You could almost pick out cops at the range by their shooting style. Lots of shots, at close range targets, none hitting, with the real danger to bystanders as being anywhere BUT the target for the cops' sloppy gun-waving. And almost to a person they will not take instruction either.
I did know a prison guard who was half-way decent....but he kept saying "front sight, front sight, front sight," aloud every time he fired. He could not hit the bullseye, but he at least put them all on the paper.

My wife and I don't spend as much time at the range as we'd like but the ranges in this area do brisk business, Virginia Beach is home to a LOT of military personnel. Most are Navy of course with a sprinkling of Marines and Army for spice. Quite a few of the regulars at the range we frequent belong to the Special Boat Units and Security units, guys who need to be proficient. We don't see many SEALs, they have their own ranges at Dam Neck and Little Creek.
When most see me there for the first time they get the impression I'm just a harmless little old guy, short and well padded around the middle and lots of grey in my hair and beard. They don't expect much, especially when I pull out the old GI style .45 and they're blazing away with their M9s and "modern" military style arms, usually 9mm types.
It kinda takes them aback when this little old grandfatherly guy starts putting groups on target about the same size that they're making, at the same distances with my old shipmate. I was part of the ship's security force in both of my sea tours and once tried out for the pistol team. I didn't make the team, but that just gave me reason to practice every chance I got.
You know you've been accepted as a member of the "brotherhood" when they offer to let you try their weapons and they yours (Mrs fell in love with a 12 ga semi-auto shotgun that way. I'm gonna have to buy one before too long) and talk guns and such with you after breaking from shooting.
The odd thing is, we don't see many cops there.

And you're better off. The majority of them are sloppy, reckless and careless. There's a county range nearby that the cops use and the attendants tell us most of the downrange ceiling damage is because of them.

SO what you're saying is most of them should only be allowed to pack a .22 LR caliber so the damage is light.
-
What I'm saying is most of them shouldn't be packing OR be cops.

Being a policeman is kind of like being a politician: actually wanting to become one should be an automatic disqualification.
