That's what I expected. I wasn't saying that a homeowner needs an hour a day on the range to be safe owning a pistol. My point was that they need to shoot often enough that they know where the safety is even in the dark, how to load the silly thing and chamber a round without referring to the owner's manual, and preferably to have recent experience on what the weapon feels like when it is aimed in the right direction.
Your points are well-taken.

Using ONE company’s stats is utterly moronic, and really makes me suspect the rest of the article and his conclusions. S&W has numerous reasons for the volatility in their sales numbers, and few have much to do with any of the current political culture. They’re far more related to the massive sales hit S&W took several years back for being seen as cooperating with the anti-gun crowd. Time is slowly healing that wound, and thus their sales figures look like they’re rising at this crucial political time... and some moronic author is assuming that correlation equals causation.
