A million years ago, I sat in a classroom at Arvada West High School and listened to a veteran of the Colorado State Patrol as he told us - with more than a touch of real pride - that in his whole career, he'd never drawn his weapon.
The guy had been a cop longer than I'd been alive.
He told us straight out that under any but the most dire circumstances, drawing your weapon meant you'd failed at your job as a peace officer.
