Since when does being a cop make you a gun expert? Suggesting that is nothing short of ignorance.

I've recently become friends with a Redding, CA police officer. What he knows about guns is limited to the weapon his department allows him to carry and even then, he knows very little other than how to shoot it.

The fact is, most cops know fuck all about guns and many of them don't even have a decent grasp of gun laws.

I'm just getting started reading this thread. Not sure if I'll reply to it any more though...
