More Murder in NOLA.

If you have ever been to a training class or a range where Gretna cops were actually shooting, you wouldn't be so impressed. Meets POST standards from what I saw but not much more. I've been better groupings from .410 birdshot at 50yds+ lol.

Let the thrashing begin.

Well actually I have that was a small percentage 5/6 if I remember correctly, still impressed. The are not the Honest Outlaw or hickock 45, but they are capable.

The police I have interacted with as a whole are not “gun” people, they are cops. They learn and know what they have to know. They are not marksmen as a whole, but a few are.

just like driving, everyone thinks they are a good driver, only a select few know they aren’t.

I won't deny, there are officers out there that are amazing marksman, problem solvers, negotiators,etc... and overall great at what they do. That is an absolute truth. But I do feel that with a role such as what these guys are in, one would think they would be held to standards higher than, "know what you need to know" and push to know more and be better. That's just part of bettering yourself. I'm just a Automotive technician with certifications in Ford and Honda, however I still study what other makes are doing, TSB's, recalls, etc... So that I can be be better than just knowing what I "need" to know.

six shot in seven hours in NOLA. One dead.

Violent 24 hours in NOLA put the city in the lead nationwide for 2022. (per capita)

Fotay Long and Strong, in direct blow back, that's going to be heavier than a St. Joe brick, and probably less ergonomic.

Who is t0 say “what I need to know” translates into being the greatest marksman ever. Some officers have never pulled a gun and fired a shot in the line of duty in their entire career.

Maybe something important they can do everyday is more important. Going on a call that is a domestic situation, where the “victim“ decides to turn on the cop. Or how about a traffic stop. More cops are probably ambushed/shot during a traffic stop than anything.

Knowing how to safely maneuver these “daily” situations seems more important to me. Only 24 hours in a day. The clock rests for no man.

I have read cops miss about 1/3 of their shots on average. They are human, adrenalin, stress, & emotions affect them also.

I would rather see them get home safely to their families than be able to out-shoot Riggs in Lethal Weapon.
