I appreciate your concern for careless gun handling, but that shouldn’t translate into support for the statism you’re implying.

Not sure why you’re questioning “weapons management” when you go on about the benefits of training.

Instead of telling the citizens to submit to hostility, the LEOs should be providing info about how best to handle firearms; “weapons management”.

I appreciate your polite and respectful response. The only reason I question ‘weapons management’ is that for reasons already stated, I question how it is practical it is to really train the average person to handle a gun responsibly and safely (especially with regards to bystanders). I’m trying to visualise putting granny through a ‘stress training’ exercise where a big burly instructor gets in their face and starts shoving them and swearing at them and threatening to f*** them. That is the kind of training I that I believe someone should submit themselves to in order to learn how to handle the stresses of using a gun for self-defence in a situation where there are likely to be bystanders, but I doubt most people would be willing to undergo that kind of thing...
