Not all that terribly surprising s a lot of cops are simply not 'gun guys.' Or soldiers for that matter. They only shoot because the job makes them and then they spend the next two days bitchin' about having to clean their weapons. Just about every cop or soldier i knew that could really shoot learned on "his own dime and time." A few lucky enough to get assigned as instructors may have had access to more range time and ammo, if they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
