If this were true, I imagine there'd be long lines at the range.

You should buy it because it's 100% true. I've talked with cops before who told me they get a single box of 50 rds. of Federal Hydra Shoks to practice with PER YEAR. Every single range I've been to in VA has substantial discounts for cops. Why? Because cops don't get much practice anywhere else and gun store types like all gun carriers to be good shots. I have shot at the NRA Range countless times with federal agents, local cops, gun company reps. and average Joe's like me. I shoot about 5000 rounds per year and I'm one of the lightweights around here. Since most cops views guns as just part of their job and not their hobby, you can bet most of them just shoot whenever they need to qualify. Again, I am a light shooter and shoot more than 100x per year what the aveage cop shoots. I'm not a bad shot at all and I do competitive shoots once in a while. Most of those events have long wait lists. You'll never have less than an hour wait at any range around here on a weekend. So yes, the average CCW guy is probably as well trained in shooting as a cop, if not far better.
