Why are Law Enforcement officers required to become qualified to use weapons like OMEGA, but average citizens are not required to do so?
Law Enforcement officers are required to become qualified and certified to use any weapons they carry or use in their line of work. A good example would be handguns. Law Enforcement officers are required to be qualified and certified using a handgun before they are eligible to work as an officer of the law. However, the average law-abiding citizen can legally purchase a handgun without being required to know how to use it.
