Fire as many rounds as you want a week, the gun's they have in the cars are treated with such rediculous care that when ever they pick them they're intimidated to shit about it, if they carried them on their hip, they would be more accustomed to holding them in their hands and less intimidated by the whole idea, as it's just another tool.
For eg. you can train to be a firefighter forever, but you gotta do the job to get used to doing the job without un-controlled (sort of) adrenaline flowing through you and you need to have some experience to get used to situations, and react in the right way, rather than heart pumping/ pull of head put on cabbage.
Same as with the gun, if it's on your hip all the time and a part of protocol then it will just be another tool to use.....
When I did a ride along with the LVMPD they had it out all the time, but they knew the gun/s, and handled it without having to fuck around, because they were used to it, it was always there, and it was just like holding an asp or handcuffs to them.
well I guess you've had professional training with firearms, I was in the Navy for 4 1/2 years and in the AirForce for 3, and served in the middle east in Afghanistan, and I had plenty of training, especially before Afghan, but still would'nt be used to carrying around a pistol in N.Z and firing it during of after a high speed chase- you seem to know what your on about though- you should get onto the Police and let them know of their shortcomings and tell them how they should be doing things......Maybe you could suggest the AOS go to the mid-east and get some trigger time so they have real time experience? Just an idea but i'll leave it to you- the expert.......
