1st don't shoot the messenger.
I have been a 4H shooting instructor, range RSO, and have taught many new shooters and gun owners gun safety.
In doing so I have had to correct bad habits and teach what most of us would consider common sense. I have also completed CCW requirements for 4 different states.
That said, is it a good idea to have someone walk into a gun shop buy a firearm and a box of bullets from a store clerk that thought they fit the gun. Then walk out put it in a holster and protect themselves???
I went through hunter safety even though I followed my Dad starting at six.
I took boater safety even though I fished in one for longer than I can remember.
I started driving a car/pickup when I was 12. If somebody needed help I had tobe able to get to help. But I took drivers education at 16 and and had to test for a license.
I believe anyone that lawfully can own a gun should be allowed to buy one, but don't the rest of the people have a right to be safe also. Is a simple gun safety test to much to ask?
Just a thought....
