This bothers me a lot. Back when I was considering a law enforcement profession, and one of the things that attracted me to the Army, where I spent a career, was the prospect of working with firearms, carrying and shooting firearms, and having the government provide the weapons and pay for the ammunition. I considered it an occupational qualification and a matter of professional pride. As a soldier, shooting well would help me to accomplish my most important mission and ensure my safety. As a leader, it was important to set the example for my troops in this most basic of soldierly skills. A professional is good with the tools of his profession. In my opinion, anyone in the military or law enforcement who is uncomfortable with weapons or cannot shoot them well should train more, find another line of work, or move to Britian and become a Bobby.
