My Mom lives in Washington State and recently acquired a CCW and a new S&W model 60. No training required. She went to the range and got instruction, but she really needed it and I don’t think it was very CCW specific. She has been instructed never to load her 60 with .357 cartridges, even though it’s designed to handle them, so that’s at least one small mercy shown to society.

Years ago when I lived there she thought she wanted to get a gun and so we went to the range. It was embarrassing. She loaded the bullets into a magazine backwards and at one point let a few fly into the rafters. Anybody else would have been asked to leave but they took pity on her. She could handle my target .22, but couldn’t hit much with it.

Part of the problem was that she wore one contact lens for near vision and one for distance. A small part of the problem.
