Given Chicago and its preponderance of firearms, I'm afraid I'm going to have to insist. Even if you prefer to work without them, I need you to know how to handle one if it does fall into your lap. Or if someone knocks a gun away and you can take it off the floor.

I can review your skills to see if you need to carry one on active duty, but you've got to know how to use one, and how to control one safely.
