You know its funny you ask that, and I honestly cant remember if he did, I would hope he at least did that, if not he might have a short career.

Awhile back while I was in the process of purchasing my first gun, I was at the counter looking at some other guns just killing the time till the employee got off the phone, when I noticed a bunch of new officers getting their standard issue equipment. There was one LEO next to me who was looking at his new pistol. Trying not to stare, I was kinda looking at him out of the corner of my eye when I noticed him make one of the dumbest moves I've ever seen anyone make. While fumbling around with pistol pointing it in every direction, looking through the sites, I saw him take a peak at the down the barrel of the gun.... I think he instantly noticed he made a big mistake and quickly looked around to make sure no one was looking and then set the pistol down on the counter. I didnt know what to think I was shocked at what I saw, I was farely new to guns at the time and even I knew that was a major no no, and this guys going to be patroling the streets.....
