Officers who have fired their weapon on duty
An interesting read from Pew (putting the Pew in Pew Pew). A couple of things I found noteworthy:
Those who have fired their weapon tended to oppose gun control. Those that have not also tended to oppose it but less so.
Officers in larger cities have fired their guns more often.

The chart in that report seems to be the opposite of what you summarize. I may be mistaken, but that’s how I read it.

In terms of fired vs not fired that is, and the degree to which they oppose gun control. Fired tended to more strongly oppose gun control.

And that’s what happens when you type a sentence, get distracted by kids, and then resume. Fixed.
