police academy in a few weeks, so no, not yet  My brother however is a cop and he is quite disgusted with what most officers call shooting. Ask me again. I doubt my answer will change. Shooting your gun once or twice a year hardly makes you any kind of a good shot. Im a gun enthusiast, I intend to be as good a shot as I can be |
| -DU gun owners, are you trained to use your gun in a crowd in self defense? |

I'm just saying that it seems like special training is required to use a gun in a crowd |
