I do have one very controversial opinion thou. I personally think that everyone that owns a gun should have training in using that weapon!
Two stories that if the person had been trained they would either still be alive or their loved one would be.
My partner owns 23 fast food restaurants in north Louisiana. His policy has always been to give a robber what he wants with no resistance and no guns are allowed in the store for "protection"
One of his managers was closing one night when some fool came in waving a gun demanding money. The manager gave the dude money and he started to leave, well this manager decided that he was going to be a hero and pulled out his pistol and took a couple of shots at the robber. Well he missed but the robber did not!!!
First if the manager did not have a gun for protection he would still be alive today, or if he had proper training in using weapon he "might" still be alive today.
A man was awakened one night by a noise in his house. He grabbed his gun and walked down the hall to where the noise was coming from. The intruder walked out of a door and yelled something and was shot dead.
When the police arrived they asked the fellow if he knew of anyone that owned a black SUV. The guy dropped to his knees because he realized that he had killed his only son.
Now if these people had been trained in the proper use of a firearm both of these instances could have been avoided.
Now I?m not talking about training in the sense of how to shoot, how the gun works or how to be a better marksman.
The training I would like to see is when and how to a weapon in self-defense. Not just a class with a one-hour boring assed film.
But hands on training similar to what the police get but toned down abit
