Guaranteed that even the police going through the academy don’t spend thirty days on firearm handling. Any necessary safety training could be accomplished in a couple of hours.
You are correct. I’d say that in most Police academies they spend about 60 hours max on firearms training. The law on use of force and justification might add a few hours to that.
On the other hand, I’d argue that many police officers are ill trained on firearms. Those who don’t train and practice on their own initiative and rely solely on basic training and annual qualification are marginal, at best. It like keeping physically fit. You have to invest your own time and effort.
I oppose the idea of requiring training so one can exercise his or her 2nd Amendment rights. That doesn’t mean that one shouldn’t endeavor to get and continue training on one’s own. It’s the responsible thing to do.
