Dalewelch... You've got that right. I've been the range officer for some classes recently where retired officers qualify for the national carry permit. In one of the classes there were around 30 officers with over 600 combined years of law enforcement experience. They were an amazing group of shooters and some were real characters. About a third qualified with revolvers and they were incredibly accurate. Some of them had noticeable physical problems which had no effect on their accuracy. I'd be pretty happy to have those revolver shooters around if things went south.
