Yes, I hope my post did not imply I thought otherwise.
What gets me is how people perceive themselves after being passed through some type of qualification. A friend's daughter did the Ohio CHL and posted up on FB about now being "prepared"...
At your own expense.
Another human nature thing seems to be that once somebody has been paid to do something they tend to expect to get paid when they do it.
I don't go shoot every weekend because I think I need to, I do it because (for me) it is a ton of fun. And we have several LE folks in our informal group, but they seem to be folks that enjoyed shooting before they became cops. So seems many LE folks expect to be on the clock if they are doing something we do for fun. And BBI has mentioned they are no longer even allowed to use their PD range on their own time, so improvement (probably outside SWAT) is not being encouraged or accommodated.
And this might go back to our other discussions about par times, qualifications are all based on par times. There is no competition, no incentive to improve beyond the standards (not even just for bragging rights), the par times are considered good enough to be qualified. So maybe in an actual use case the 5.0 second skill sets gets deployed in 0.5 seconds, ten times, without success.
