Fort Worth SWAT is running charity 3-gun matches to raise money for their training, since the city only gave them half of their requested training budget.

The SWAT officers themselves aren't competing. I think they know a select team of ringers would show up and hand them their asses.

That is cool... Great way to build a relationship between cops and local shooters.

One of our local Sheriff's agencies brings in top notch instructors (EAG, Awebuck, Gunsite, etc...) and opens the course to civilians and other LE agencies.

Raises some funds for their program and builds great bonds.

Quoted:
If my department cut back on training, they'd have to actually begin surgical removal of brain matter from all of us. Since that would cost money, no, we are not "cutting back" on "training."

This.

We used to have a lot stray dogs in my city. Not so much anymore.
