The 24 high school-age students in the Waukegan Police Department's Youth Citizen's Police Academy wore goggles and ear muffs for safety, as they received instructions on how to stand when aiming and how to grip a gun as they shoot. The firearms lesson was part of the academy's 40-hour course that's hosted during the school district's winter break, in which community officers provide a taste of what's behind the blue uniform and the law enforcement work officers are sworn to do. ... (Officer Kristin) Luka is one of six team leaders who oversee the students in groups during the five-day program that runs from 9 to 5 p.m. On Friday, Luka silently watched on as her team at the fire range went from being anxious about handling a gun, to a more confident bunch who even got a little competitive with one another. ...

Mr. Fife Posted December 31, 2017 at 06:01 PM Share Posted December 31, 2017 at 06:01 PM No, the gangsta style side grip. Lol..That grip would cause the casings to fly upwards.
