I don't know about Raleigh, but in Fairfax County, even the beat cops had to have at least an associate's degree in criminal justice.
All commissioned military officers (Loathe correct me if I'm wrong) have to have degrees. When I went to high school, we had a skeet team, most of those guys we're the nerdy, highly educated types. There are some highly educated people on the US Olympic Shooting Team http://www.usashooting.org/olympics.php The girls that qualified for Bejing are also pretty hawt :) -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 4405 Oakshyre Way Raleigh, NC. 27616 (919) 874-6229 (home) (703) 220-2835 (cell) -----Original Message----- From: Adam Churvis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2008 2:49 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Right To Bear Arms Some of the best shooters I have ever known have never been to college, much less graduated. Some of them have, but not nearly as many. That's not because "stupid people shoot guns"; it's because college-educated people typically have interests that exclude gunsport or other exposure to and contact with guns. How many beat cops graduated college? How many construction workers? How many factory workers and soldiers and other good people with respectable blue-collar jobs?
