ccw

here in texas a place can put a sign on the door that no guns are allowed and the ccw does not allow you to carry inside.that sign only pertains to ccw people.
where did i mention anything about being an expert?did you just make that up?ccw does not qualify here with guards.it is more than just shooting.you go thru classroom work and then shoot.i would not shoot with a guard.how long was your background investigation.here it can take up to a year.just because you can shoot good does not make you quailfied to carry.that sounds just like a guard attitude.i find it extremely suspicious that you had rather make a great deal of money less.i would be willing to bet that something in your background keeps you from being qualified.stay private if that is all you are qualified to be.
we shoot not just at targets but cituational shooting.shoot dont shoot.we simulate things and shoot under those situations. don't give me the crap that guards do that.if a officer here does not qualify he can not carry his or her weapon.shooting at distances helps you get used to shooting at those distances.most gun battles with a officer takes place at about 3 yards.the state here will not allow you to carry your weapon unless you can quailfy with it. in some cases the depts will make the officer go back thru schooling.if he then does not qualify he is terminatedmy dept was very slow to go to semi's.not sure why.they now issue glocks.women have a hard time with them stove piping.it is due to having a limp wrist.women also have a great deal of problems loading the magazines.the spring is too rigid.
here you shoot to a score of 100.you have to shoot at least 70 to quaify. that is not very goodwe had several that were sent home and could not carry,they were women and older men such as a bailiff.
while both leo and guards try to uphold the law,there is no way in hell you can compare the two.if you tell the truth then something is keeping you from quaifying to be a leo.
ccw carrying allows you to carry,common sense can not be taught in a classroom.jujst because you are allowed to do things does not mean it should be done.here we have had very few probs with ccw people. we have a few in prison.again i have to stress common sense. the attitude of i can carry anytime and any place i want is a wreck waiting to happen.use common sense.
we were trained by a fbi agent by the name of bob butler.i always wanted to shoot for the dept.i never was good enough.our bestshooter was a little female.she was tuff.to get a dept expert pin you have to shoot at least 90 for 5 years. i shot 90 or above for 25 years.i ahve a office buddy in michigan that used to be a cop in florida.he does not like forums but i will try to get him in here.i will let him talk about florida things.he comes down every year and we go hog hunting
