Oh man! Looks like something out of a Keystone Cops silent movie clip. Seriously - a great visual and funny image.

Put this in teh FWIW Department: http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-674912.html

**One of the very best shooters I’ve ever met (a guy who finished the first Sanctioned IDPA match I ever shot with not only the winning score, but a total points down count of THREE :eek:) is a NJSP Detective Sargent. He once told me, “If you offer a cop a new pen or a new gun, he’ll take the new PEN. It’s something he’ll actually get to use.”

Cops are issued guns, of course, and most folks believe that the gun is somehow the primary factor in their job. But many cops go through their entire career never having to fire a shot in the line of duty. To be good at their jobs, cops have to be masters of a lot of different tasks. They have many skills they have to employ every day or every week. Shooting is not one of them. **

Ok. Sounds reasonable. Are police mandated to practice shooting on a regular basis? That might take some of the rustiness off.
