I didn't know whether I would feel comfortable using a firearm but having had the training, plus instruction from the other half who's used pistols in the past (as a teenager, all legally of course), I'm feel I can trust myself with firearms. Regular practise all helps tremendously. No point having firearms without practise to at least keep up skills.

But when do you know to take a refresher course. After you blow off a toe??

Regardless of how much training I had, I still wouldn't trust myself with one. Just not a weapons man. My anatomy is big enough that I don't need to substitute it with a long barrel.

That's what visits to the shooting range is all about. Also, one might be using an inappropriate caliber or pistol for one's abilities.

e.g. might be some time before I use a .45.

Definitely not an anatomy thing for me. Don't see myself a a Dirty Harry (or should that be Harriet?).

Talking of which, I assume you've all seen the cop shoot himself in the foot in front of a classroom full of school kids while teaching them about gun safety?

No?

Absolutely. If all gun owners shot themselves, we'd have the problem cleared up in a flash.

Personally Id like all the pointless SUV - especially the BMW X5 and Porche Cayenne - owners to drive off a cliff then that problem would be solved too. Infact, if every single person simultaneously commited suicide then the worlds problems would all be solved.
