    Great post Dave.
    I think we should all remember that it takes a community, it takes a nation. If it were not for the military many would not feel safe. If it were not for the cops many in the military would not feel safe leaving their families alone while deployed. Let's also remember that were it not for the highway department those cops would have no where to drive. If not for the grocer we would not have food. If not for the teacher we would have ignorant children. Anyway, my point can be seen. We support each other; if any one job is neglected things don't work well.

    Who needs a grocer when one can grow their own food and barter with their neighbors, as for teachers, they seem to be doing a very poor job in the U.S. considering the level of ignorance displayed by too many in this country.

    cops don't get much training in handgun shooting. If they did, my then 16 year old son wouldn't have beaten the best cops in the state in pistol shooting events. He did, easily

    Heck the Broward Sherriff's office which has something like 2200 deputies and a $500 million dollar budget doesn't have it's own dedicated range.

    And you think being a good shot is all it takes to be a cop. It's one of the least important things they learn

    That's your opinion.

    Being skilled and confident with your sidearm is one of the MOST important things anyone who carries a gun professionally can learn. That is the power of life and death on your hip, and developing true skill is arguably the most critical thing any officer can ever learn.

    Sadly, too many people don't get that.

    You are wrong. The ability to make critical decisions under stress is the most important skill any cop has. That skill is engaged before the gun leaves the holster.

    Any cop knows that

    It's certainly of paramount importance when defending against an active shooter, which is the point under discussion.

    A lot of LEO's don't get that as a result of poor training, which is why once in a gunfight they hit everything in sight other than the criminal shooting at them, sometimes with deadly results to innocents.

    Anyone who claims LEO's do not require serious firearm training and should fall back on decision making, is clueless as to how a gunfight goes down, or was working at Parkland and fled the scene preferring retirement over duty.

    How would you know? You're not a cop.

    Having full confidence and skill with your sidearm enables you to make better decisions regarding deadly force.

    I am always amused by arm chair types that have never been in a gun fight engage in righteous pontification.

    I am always wondering how one determines who those types are from their posts in an internet forum.

    It’s not that difficult to ferret from reading multiple posts and not difficult to figure who is likely to have been in a fight; there are give always.

    As you are well aware, I meant it metaphorically. I don't assume that someone on the internet can read my palm any more than he judge a persons background by reading their posts.
