re: #350 Political Atheist

The class can be voluntarily repeated of course. Finding a place to safely practice is easy too. Yes practice always matters. “finger away from trigger at all times” ain’t that hard to remember. The need for practice or refresher courses hardly reduces the validity of a good program.

The problem comes in the difference between having to think about it, and doing it automatically. I grew up not handling guns, but have hunted a bit, and I can tell you that I had to constantly think about proper handling, muzzle discipline, use of the safety, not trusting the safety, etc.
