I use to shoot at a range with a guy I worked with. He was a former recon marine, and a firearms instructor. He taught me everything about shooting. We used to shoot at a range that was frequented by the local police department. Everytime a cop would show up, he would make me shoot in the lane next to the cop, with my target set at the same distance as the cop's target. I would always group better than the cop.The policemen haven't passed necessary tests to carry firearms, just like some civilians, but that doesn't stop the greedy govt selling them guns anyway does it. It is painfully obvious that more bad than good comes from such practices.
Some cops just can't shoot worth shit.
