Any boob can learn to shoot a gun, my 14 year old son was a better shot than most of the people at the NRA range. That does not make him ready to be a sheriff. This opens the county up to massive liability. If they think it is expensive to put cops on the streets wait until they have to pay off a wrongful death suit from those acting under the color of rhe county with no training.
