32. The reason most law enforcement agaencies won't

As per what I have been told by actual LEOS:

1. budget -- no money for the rounds, training, range time, etc. Most cops are expected to do it on their own if they want to, like teachers have to buy supplies.

2. time -- there is no time to do this on regular sgifts, and making it means paying OT. See #1.

3. no requirement -- they don't have to do it, so why should they?

I am not slamming them too much for any of this, because of TPTB don't care, that attitude trickles down to th4 employees. It's a shame, not only for others' safety, but their own. They could get shot before they are able to properly return fire.

One of my uncles gets my cousin to clean his gun, because he doesn't know how to strip it down properly. A cop for 27 years.
