I've never really told anyone this but I joined the police force just to shoot things.
Why did you join the police force to shoot things?
I find target practice really fun.
A police officer is a difficult job and you should join the police only if you have a genuine care about upholding the law and protecting the public. If you joined the police just to shoot firearms then that means that you do truly care about the job and the responsibilities it entails. You should transition to a different career that you actually care about rather than be a police officer when your heart is not into the job.
This is true I don't care about upholding the law and being a police officer. I hate being police.
It seems a bit drastic you join the force when you could just join a gun club instead. Fire arms are legal to own in the states  and there are many ranges you can visit.
