2 years to be clear. You're right 60 hours does not equate to 2 years, however, since you've pointed out I painted myself into a corner if you click through the states and read New York:
The educational requirement for New York police recruits include holding a high school diploma or GED equivalent, plus 60 college credits with a 2.0 GPA from an accredited college or university OR 2 years of full-time active military service in the United States Armed Forces with an honorable discharge and have a high school diploma or its equivalent.
So in that case 2 years active military service can substitute for the 60 hours you want to debate. In that case there may be many police officers in New York who used to be active duty military. The only way we'll know is if you research it I guess.
Recent former military here. Unless you are an armorer or a SNCO/Officer, you don't get a ton of trigger time with a pistol. I would also bet that the amount of police like encounters that happen in the military are few and far between, especially with a pistol. Not counting PMO or MPs of course. Now if vets want to be cops, I am all for it.
I just think its nonsense that people would think a military member or police officer are more qualified to carry then any old joe schmoe down the street. There are a ton of videos out there of police who passed these psych evals who ended up shooting someone they shouldn't have.
