So proud of these Men and Women!

Law Enforcement (or those pursuing law enforcement) only Pistol seminar today.

So proud of these Men and Women!

What most people don’t know is that the number of training opportunities for our Men and Women in blue are few and far between and almost always paid for out of pocket.

Short rant… What angers me to my core is that you’ll see an “End of Watch” post where an officer was killed in the line of duty, and everyone will jump on the bandwagon on social media…

“BACK THE BLUE!” “WE SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT”

Yet I’ve trained at primarily three different ranges over the last 5 years… and you know what the general consensus is…??

DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!

“What you’re doing is noble and all… and we support law enforcement… Just do it somewhere else.”

Y’all realize this is a shooting range?? Been here since the 50s? Where should we train our Men and Women that risk their lives and run TOWARDS fire/danger?

Answer: Somewhere else.

But here’s what I can tell you about somewhere else… It doesn’t exist. Cause every “somewhere else” is somebody’s backyard.

I realize guns make noise. I’m sorry about that. Truly, I am. But the only way to prepare for the test is to train like you’re in the middle of the active shooter scenario… And you know what you DON’T do in the middle of that…?? Shoot one round every 10 seconds… You shoot like yours, and everyone else’s life depends on it.

Ya know why the national miss rate average for law enforcement in gun fights is 83% and innocent civilians get shot and/or officers lose their lives??

Cause very few ever get to ACTUALLY TRAIN FOR THE TEST!

So to those that ACTUALLY Back the Blue (although at times I understand it might be inconvenient)… THANK YOU!!!

For all the rest who do nothing, then complain about these men and women when they train… I pray you may be so lucky in your hour of need to have one of the officers that took training seriously and sought it out come to your rescue… Cause the average person that may show up will MISS 83 out of 100 shots… and hopefully, it’s not when you or your family’s life is on the line!
