So we as shooters who try to encourage others/newbies/kids to participate in the sport and get their FAL, apply the same advice to the police - If you know someone who is a cop and they moan about training etc - Tell them to get their licence.

I went to school with a lot of my local cops.
One is the local AOS trainer and was up the club running a new cop to town thru his annual qual. I said I would leave them to it went to use another range.

They come down to say they were leaving after a while and seen my rig and gun and took an interest.
I said to have a shot and they both had a go. They enjoyed it and I asked why if they are so keen why don't they join the club as they would be welcome and valuable members.

They liked the idea but I got the impression from other things they said that it would be frowned upon behind the scenes. I could be wrong.

I know there are a few military guys that are Pnz members and shooting a fair bit from other clubs but I don't know of many police that are active shooters.
