Well for you it won't matter....you will never make the grade. LOL

I know...my dreams have been dashed.

So....which is it? 100 days, or 730 days? I could give it the old college try.

I'm happy....my mop bucket as racing stripes.

100 days, or 730 days? Which makes you a professional? You can do this....show us how to be professional.

Why would I possibly bother?

Humor us poor plebes. I would think you would want everyone to be as professional as you....right?

So....100 days, or 730 days, which make us a professional? I mean, you offered those numbers up....one of them has to be correct.

When exactly did I mention 100 or 730 days? Neither is accurate

Well......800 hours training, right? Assuming an 8 hour workday = 100 days. You did say 800 hours training, correct? Did I misread that?

Prior to that you stated 24 months Field Training; 1 year x 365 days = 730

Did I get that wrong?? You know, that new common core math can be so confusing.

100+100+100+100+100+100+100+10+10+10.....that better?

Yes you misread that. Where did I ever mention 800 hours? Its not accurate. 2 years is common for field training but not required to get your basic certificate

I will accept a teacher with 800 hours of training


Then I think someone has been forging your posts....we should probably call a professional to investigate.
 
I did say that. Thank you I forgot. But 800 hours is not a POST standard. I never said that


No, you said you would accept 800 hours.....we are not talking POST standard, we are talking "professional".

Do you wish to modify your original statement regarding what constitutes "professional"?

Yes I wish to modify it. Professional in this context is POST Basic certificate

And none of those individuals without a POST basic certification qualify as "professional"? Those people that serve on active shooter response teams, or dynamic entry and rescue in the Armed forces? Those people trained that lack the POST certification?

I think you are limiting yourself here......or would you agree that there are various comparable certifications and training that can easily be used in lieu of the POST certification?

Yes in this context none of those people are trained exclusively in a citizen non military environment. You will not be carrying a M4 or breaching doors here

Understood.....none of them are professionals.

And a teacher? Pfffft...forget it, they could never handle a firearm.

It must be genetic....you are born professional with POST in your DNA, or not.

Definitions are all over the map here.
 
Armed teachers can shoot ten kids too because they are not professionals

Speaking strictly shooting and tactics, neither are most cops. Most cops only shoot enough to pass qualification once or twice a year and then they hardly touch their guns again. If one armed teacher starts a shooting spree, the other teachers can either barricade themselves with their firearms, evacuate the children, or, if trained to do so, form a response team and take care of it. Besides, don't you think the cop is just as likely to shoot ten kids too? We hear of cops being trigger happy and yet you only want them to be armed around children?

Cops go thru a two year probationary period where they are closely supervised and learn decision making skills regarding threats

I don't have any evidence in front of me to see if you are correct but since I am a use of force expert I can tell you cops have far more bad shoots than armed citizens on our streets. so much for that vaunted training

Not in all departments. My sheriff's office has a two month FTO and in a year you're considered a full fledged cop with all the benefits and protections.

do I need to prove yet again you are wrong? You should spend a bit more time reading other posts and actually comprehending what they say, rather than spitting out silly one liners, people who pay attention know that several posters have posted all sorts of studies showing armed private citizens are less likely to shoot the wrong person than cops and more likely to hit the bad guy.

Private citizens rarely operate under the same conditions as a cop. Wrong again
