The first time I shot to obtain a carry permit, I was genuinely nervous about the process because we had to shoot “the same course as the state police.” At the time I had shot a handful of IPSC matches with a friend, which essentially was the entirety of my firearms “training” at that point. I passed with flying colors, and was downright shocked that the proficiency standards were so abysmally low. That was 20 years ago, and if anything, the standards have probably gotten worse.
I would also like to say that I REALLY appreciate how you present your information, cite your sources, and refrain from ridiculously inflammatory hyperbole. Well done, I just became a subscriber.
I’m really concerned that society continues to place our LEO into increasingly dangerous situations without support. Marksmanship is good training. Our LEO need to be trained to de escalate situations, but be Street Kings gunfighter lethal when necessary. Defund the police, BLM, and the like have hurt more than help. Someone has a plan for all of this lawlessness to happen, and it appears to be working!
