There is a simple response to these question.
1) What training have you taken that educates you on the issues of gun safety, gun laws and qualifies you to be both a legal expert and a firearm handling expert?
2) Are you prepared to assert yourself as an expert on gun safety, provide legal advice on the safe use of firearms in accordance with the laws of this state?
3) Are you prepared to assume full liability for any opinion you provide with regards to not only the proper care and handling of firearms but their legal and sometimes necessary defense of myself and or my family?
Good points, but I wouldn't have been so diplomatic.
BTW, I was in Bamberg, W. Germany too, from 76-79 with the 6/10 FA; what a great town, IMHO!
