DTakas You may not have waisted your Criminal Justice education.

#1 You got the CJ degree because you are interested in that field.

- I did the same.

#2 Every major police department has there own gunsmith/armorer to
maintain the departments guns.

- That is what do now. I have all the benifits of working for a major
agency. (Insurance, retirement, paid holidays, paid vacation,
city car to drive....etc.) I have 17 years in and for the last 8 I have
been a department gunsmith and firearms instructor. You may have
to put a few bad guys in jail for the first few years, but then you will
have the opportunity sometime to transfer to the range. Life is Grand.
I do tons of gunsmith work on the side. I have gunshops that send
me more work than I need.

Murry State College is the #1 gunsmith school in the nation. It is a two year degree and it is well known in the shooting industry that they produce the best. You wont be sorry. I know of numerous people recruited from there. One guy, I know of, now makes the match guns for the army's shooting team.

Think about a dual education, and one that can incorporate both.
