Of course I did. If grenade launchers are too much in the hands of wannabe campus police, even if trained, then AR-15s are too much in the hands of wannabe civilians, particularly if untrained and without a background check.
I personally know some 'wannabe civilians" better trained in firearms handling than many police officers. In fact I have it on good authority that I personally have received more realistic self defense / close quarter handgun combat training in the last year or so. Than most civilian police officers get in their entire careers.
Oh, there's no doubt. I have a friend who is running an airsoft facility. For those of you who don't know what airsoft is, we're talking pellet guns - as realistic as real ones. The facility is massive. I think I've talked to this before, but the facility allows groups of kids to rent hours on the course, and it also does CQC training for the Miami-Dade Sherrif's department and local FBI folks. For giggles, they ran some of the better kids up against the law enforcement folks and the kids smoked them.
LOL There was a 20 + year vet of the ATL PD that went through one of my classes with me last year. When it came to gun prowess he made Barney Fife look like Rambo.
