I was an LEO and a competition shooter. I would rather have my fellow officers go shooting than play a round of golf - any kind of shooting. Bullseye, plinking, they all build familiarity with shooting.

Most cops don't shoot because:
1. They think they know 'secret ninja shooting techniques" - they don't.
2. Most don't like to be soundly beaten by women and, yes, children with similar equipment. They need to get over it.
3. They don't think a lowly 'civilian' could show/teach them anything - wrong again.

Much of what I learned and later taught came from the ""playing fields"". And neither I nor any of my compadres had any difficulty seperating the game from the street.
