Great. I’m glad to make progress. So will you advocate this to other gun enthusiasts, that we end the practice of letting people own guns who are untrained with them? And since I already said that people who have already been trained can be tested, you don’t need to ‘submit’ that, it’s fine. It has to be a test that actually tests the scenario they want to use the gun in, though. Not just safety and accuracy and targeting, but real situational stuff.

To what degree have you seen or been shown how good training in fundamental tactical skills translates from one situation to another? I’d like to see a refutation explanation of how the basics of defensive training fail when circumstances change. Edit-In your view or that of a pro trainer.
