Thank you, Sir.

Truth be told, additional training is something I think is almost always worthwhile. If anything, I would think that weapon retention should be taught. Also, I would be inclined to believe that weapon holders should learn to never, ever give their weapon to a bad guy - even in a hostage situation.

All IMHO, and recognizing that my knowledge about weapons and the handling thereof is meager among the good people of this forum.
