I'm with you on the cops that qualify with the bare minimum and then leave the range just as happy as a chimp on roller-skates. I can't do that. I'm not a perfectionist by any means, but if you can't accomplish that skill that the job requires, you need to sell shoes.I had a chief once upon a time that I absolutely hated. But he did do one thing that I thought was outstanding. He made every officer attend firearms training once a month at Paul Abel's range. It was mandatory for continued employment.Some months we would just do a qualifying round, other times Paul would run us through some type of drill, either an IDPA round or a scenario that he had when he was Pott county sheriff. God I miss that man. The last time I was on his range and qualified, I shot a 100%. He purposely scored my target last (there were 7 other shooters) and he wrote 96% on it.I argued with him (he called it whining) that I did indeed score 100%. He told me, no, you did not. Nobody scores 100% on my range. I asked him why. He said because when you shoot and kill a guy and they call me to testify before a jury of your peers, I can tell them you shot a 96 instead of a 100. Because a "smart" defense attorney can convince your typical juror that if you shoot 100% consistently on the range, you could have shot the guy in the arm or leg or something instead of killing him.</blockquote>
