Yes, people do some of the dumbest things. But the only way to make them acceptable is with some honest training and sympathy. Don't browbeat them for stupidity; explain how what they did is dangerous and show them how to do it right, and then let them practice in controled conditions. Our city owned indoor range doesn't allow draw from the holster until they have demonstrated ability on the outdoor range. Naturally, the police agencies don't have to demonstrate ability and they have put most of the holes in the baffles. No group is perfect.
