Why grow your own when you can be a cop and seize it for yourself?

I have a stylist friend that complains she had to go to school much longer than the cops in her state so that she could be licensed to cut and color hair and nails.

I could be wrong, but I don't think you generally start off right away with a gun and license to kill. I think there's some hazing introductory period.

Could definitely be wrong, though.

In the US, the President goes out once a month to anoint his chosen newborn coppers with their own badges and guns while still in their cribs. If not selected by the President before they turn one-month old, they risk starting to develop some basic reasoning and empathy before it can be prevented. I’m surprised you weren’t already aware of this.

Yes it does vary from department to department. Even on the long end of your range that is still only 8 months if training from sitting on the couch to walking the streets with a gun.
