Have you ever had to fire a gun as a detective
I am in 8th grade. I am taking a class called career and tech. My teacher said that I get to choose 3 jobs I am interested in and I decided to choose a Detective. I thought that it would be interesting to learn about what you do. I have always wondered if you have ever had to fire a gun on somebody as a detective. I hope you respond. #detective #career #school

Hi Savannah! I'm not a detective but my father is a police and he had alot of friends who are a detective, My father has to sometimes use weapon for protection only. His friends don't really have to fire their weapon but it depends on what part of the detective you are in or want to be in. You will need to go through alot of hoops and obstacle to own a gun. I hopes this helps!

Hi Savannah. I'm not a detective, but my father was for the California Highway Patrol for many years. I am guessing that it might depend on what type of detective you are, but my father never had to fire his weapon as a detective. He investigated auto theft and also was a part of a drug task force. You would have to carry a weapon to protect yourself and your fellow officers, but hopefully you would never need it. In order to be a safe gun owner, you would need to go through gun training and you would need to continue shooting practice and gun safety on a regular basis. Hope this answers your question. Enjoy your career research.
