[QUOTE=BBY2KS2K,Nov 27 2006, 04:45 PM] Right now I disagree. LEO's go through extensive firearms training and retraining. But all the training in the world; be it classroom or field training can't prepare you for when the shit hits the fan. In the field you get a split second to recognize the danger, weigh your options, make a decision, and act on it. I'm certain the shooting wasn't under "ideal" conditions. From the preliminary reports, it doesn't sound good for the officers involved. But I'll reserve judgement until I hear all sides.

Right now officers are quite surprised when they show up for a shooting competition where they have to compete with the public. They loose pretty handedly. I've seen my 14 year old nephew humiliate a group of officers who were talking BIG until even a kid made them look bad.

Right now we are all not great shots. I personally suck at small arms, but give me a rifle and I do okay.

Mom wouldn't let him have a gun as a kid. 1st amendment ... teach them to speak freely.
2nd amendment ... teach them to bite if someone doesn't allow you to speak freely.
... my exwife was pissed when my dad gave firearms as gifts at Christmas.
