You're drawing a conclusion from something I never said. I never said that someone who spends significantly more time practicing a skill is not more qualified than a lesser trained person. I'm curious how you came to this conclusion. But my point is this. He is making 2 assumptions, basically. 1) that a CHL holder fires his weapon more than what is required by the cop to qualify (not too much of a stretch) and 2) A police officer ONLY fires his gun when he is required to do so to qualify (an extreme stretch). Thus, the comparison he is making is between a gun enthusiast that is not a cop and a cop that is a slackass that only does the bare minimum. The qualification requirements is the floor -- the bare minimum that is required. His point would only be valid if it was the MAXIMUM that a cop can train with his gun. This is not the case.
So I go back to my point. Because the qualification requirements are but the bare minimum, even if i accept the first assumption, that most CHL holders fire more than is required by a cop to qualify, this does not compel the conclusion that a CHL holder is more proficient than the cop with the gun.
