I'd like to see USPSA add a "Duty" division. Yeah, I know....we have Production and you can shoot it in your duty gear.
Maybe reduce the membership fees or match fees. Would I pay full price? Yep, I am now. Would it attract more of my brethern? It could.
I've taken more cops to matches only to have them never return cuz they got their feelers hurt because they got beat up by a bunch of civilians. That's just something they need to get over. Maybe if they had their own division, and played against each other, it wouldn't matter.
I thought I was hot elephant dung with a pistol. And in the cop world I was. Then I went to my first match. And got my arse handed to me by a bunch of computer guys, a geologist, a gunsmith, a locksmith, a postmaster, etc.....Woke me up.
People think that cops get to shoot as much as we want. They only see one very very small facet of our job description. To assume a cop is a shooter, is like saying if you rodeo then you must be a real cowboy (thanks Will Andrews for the quote). ChrisC and countless others on here can back me on this....most cops I know spend their free time working extra jobs to make ends meet. Most can't afford to get out and shoot like you guys do. It's sad, and it's not much of an excuse, but that is the reality. Hell, I've had to start in kydex so I can buy groceries. (Ok, pay scale rant is over).
