Yeah but my biggest problem with legal guns is the owners who buy one
to have protection and do not get the proper training. Shooting in a
combat situation requires practice.

I hear that. But most states require at least a basic handgun safety
course before they'll issue licenses.


I have no problem with concealed carry, but if you are going to carry
you damn well better practice.

Now a good way to show someone what is required is to give them a
paintball gun and play a bit. After a few welts it might occur to them
you could end up dead in a shoot out.

Sounds like good training. My carry course wasn't as detailed as I've
heard some states require. 5 or 6 hours of class plus proof that we
can hit a torso-sized piece of cardboard at 15 yards.

A postcard just came from www.frontsight.com/liberty-tree2.asp which
sells nice training package memberships for $300. $5k-$20k+ worth for
that price. I'm really tempted this time, but getting to LV is a PITA.
You can take any or all of these courses as many times as you like for
life: 2 Day Defensive Handgun, 4 Day Defensive Handgun, Two Day
Tactical Shotgun; Two Day Practical Rifle. Sucha deal!
