Actually, yes. Cops that fail to requalify. Sad to say, it does happen. They shouldn't be frowning in spite of their lack of requal as the tragets weren't shooting back. Better an unqualifed cop sent to explain to his Sgt then a dead one.

Yeah, you're right --- and they shouldn't be Cops, either. There are too many of them in uniform today that equate the firearm tool as no more necessary than a stapler or office copier tool. I know, as I used to train deputies in the county.
My wife qualified on a "police qualification course" as a "nugget" AND finished 1/2 way up the standings. All participants save three were sworn officers ....
But recreational shooters? Naaaaa ..... smilin' all the way. I stand by my original comment.
Police officer's can be scarily ignorant of their own firearms. I once saw on Discovery Channel I believe, about the LAPD, of a woman police officer qualing at the range. Her Beretta jammed multiple times. She laughed it off and said something about never cleaning it.
This is not an isolated incident. While many police are knowledgeable and professionals, many are morons with their firearms, designed to save their life and the lives of others. I also don't trust cops with firearms laws, however this is because I lived in MA when even the police were confused by MA's completely ridiculous laws.

Speaking of this, did you ever see the video (I think it was on the ubiquitous Ebaum's World) where the big DEA agent with dreads is giving a presentation about guns to an elementary class and shoots himself in the foot with what he thinks is an unloaded Glock 40? Hilarious, but frightening at the same time...then he reaches for some sort of submachine gun and everyone starts freaking out...if I can find it, I'll post a link.
*EDIT* Found it. Here's a link to download/watch it: http://www.crapville.com/uploads_videos/copshootsleg.wmv
Despite the incredible stupidity, I can't help feeling somewhat sorry for that guy. How embarrassing would that be? I'd probably go home and cry myself to sleep in a dark closet. Bunch of damn, punk kids laughing at me. . .
By the way, I just saw this link on cnn. Show this to anyone who thinks that Concealed Weapons laws don't work and blame violent crime on the expiration of the "Assault Weapons ban."

"In 2004, just under one-quarter of all violent crimes were committed by an offender armed with a gun, knife or other weapon."
