Take a safety course ,go to range, practice , on and on . We are gun people we do these thing. Adverage citizens ,buys gun ,load gun and puts in drawer. Like owning a fire ex. Its their if I need it. Know what I bet 90% of the people we read about that shot BG in a robbery attemp or in a house breaking Here or in the NRA mag , NEVER had 1 DAY or TRAINING . They grabbed the pistol and fired . No fancey gunfighter school, no range time ,nothing. They used and lived.
We get to wraped up in our selves People have been shooting people for a long time With out all the training and practice. What get me is these untrained citizens Have a better hits ratio verses number of shots fired than most police
Remember we like and shoot our pistols Adverage person just has one,not really interested in training or shooting . But when comes to that time. They need it. They do a pretty good job
