Training like you describe is extremely rare among gun owners, wouldn't you say?    And reading about the shooting incident you describe, I'm puzzled.     Why would 3 adolescents try to break into an occupied house, even kicking a door down after hearing the occupant shout that he had a gun?   You describe a bad situation, but I'd like to have a few more answers about how everybody made the decisions they did....

I don't claim any special knowledge of the incidents in Florida or Baldwin Co, but I think all you have to do is read the story to see that these were avoidable tragedies stemming from very bad judgement and the presence of guns.

Would you think that the training you have should be the minimum standard for a permit?   Do you think there should be any rules to gun ownership at all?    Do you think that assault rifles are just another home defense weapon?   Is listening to some crack pot make up stories about 'a race war' really how we should be thinking about this?
