I'm primarily talking about LEO qualifications and sad to say most of them fall into the "hadn't learned the equipment well enough" category. I was both a firearms instructor and a competitive shooter and going back to my pre-academy days I always took firearms and the skills needed to shoot them more seriously than many other LE officers I ran into.

Guess the point I'm making (not to you, you're mind is made up) in general is that giving something a try and declaring it useless before you've learned it, let alone perfected it, is not a basis for advising others.
