[QUOTE="wawazat, post: 3785901, member: 35603"] Yeah, Ive stopped watching news because my nerves cant take it anymore. I do more work on the laptop in another room while my wife catches up on whats happening. My counterargument would be if your security isnt at least as competent as LE, it doesnt do any good for them to be armed either. It is a crying shame that a lot of our non-specialized LEOs in the country represent the minimum proficiency with firearms. I have been saying for a long time that poor decisions made under pressure that result in the death of someone being taken into custody is quite often an indicator of a lack of training. So many of these departments spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for armored personnel carriers, Humvees, and other military level equipment, but couldnt be bothered to send their officers to some real training on a regular basis. Firearm proficiency and grappling type fighting skills should be for every officer, not just the ones actually interested in excelling at their job and going home safe and healthy. [/QUOTE]
