Hey everyone! Today was awesome :) As you can probably tell by the title, we had firearms today. I learned today that there is so much more that goes into drawing your weapon, than just drawing your weapon. We started with learning about the maintenance of our weapons and the responsibilities that come along with having a gun. For instance, we learned that we better take great care of our weapon so that when and if it needs to be fired it will not turn into a “one shot wonder gun” with a hefty price tag on it. Cleaning and maintaining the gun is such a vital part of carrying a weapon like that on your hip. Don’t get too intimidated by the toolbox of tools, our instructor is an Armory!
The afternoon consisted of us committing to both memory and muscle memory the steps it takes to correctly and safely draw your weapon. In order to be proficient with drawing our weapons, we must practice practice, practice, and practice some more. The actions that we learned today could and will save our lives at some point in our careers as Police Officers.
Enjoy the pictures!
How does this work again Instructor Barrick?
