I just graduated from our Citizens Police Academy this past May. One training session they used real guns.....there were two guns laying on the table....one revolver with the cylinder open so that you could see it was empty....one a 9MM with the magazine out and the slide back so that you could see it was empty.

They then passed each gun to each student to show us that it was empty. Then they passed each blank round to us so that we could see it was a blank....then we watched the officer load the weapons with the blanks.

The officer that was doing the demonstration was NOT wearing his gun. They stressed safety above all else and even now that we have graduated and involved in the COP'S program our safety is their #1 priority.
