According to Ryan. I am amazed at your expertise in so many areas. Your 
statement indicates you are better equipped to handle this high-stress 
situation than a police officer. I certainly can't speak for all law 
enforcement agencies, but most agencies expend massive resources, far beyond 
the basics, every year in the area of firearms training. If you REALLY know 
SOOOO MUCH about this subject, maybe you should do some consulting for police 
departments around the country and get rid of that job you dislike so much. I 
would suggest that you leave your bong at home, at least for the initial 
interviews.
