Quite so. the law is not on the testing ball. Fortunately however anyone with a bit of aptitude can meet or exceed almost any standard via available schools.

Why are you sure of this?

I think we discussed how a person can go about the schooling and then either continue exercises to continue improving their skills or there are a couple sports that are shaped around practical defensive shooting. Those are so good at that purpose L.E. officers including active SWAT / DEA etc come to practice and enjoy the stressors of timed shooting and competition. IPSC and IDPA come to mind.

That’s nice.

My strong recommendation for a defensive gun owner is to either commit to regular training the also tests skills, and or join a sport that will do the same. If they can’t do either of those things they are making a mistake with the gun already.

Good. So you support the idea of having people who own guns for self-defense at home passing a test of the kind that I described, showing they can use the weapon in a self-defense situation and not just have adequate gun safety and accuracy?
