Re: Would you carry a gun you have never fired?

Since you have no idea how it shoots or how to line up the sights on that particular gun it could be a disaster if you had to use it for self defense. Not sure how the discussion would go if a bullet got away and struck a bystander. Guess you could always say that you were too busy to practice with it and your self protection was worth more than anybody else's safety. Sounds to me like you would have some major legal issues.

In my opinion until somebody has mastered the handgun, trigger, point of aim etc. they should not carry it. My personal standard is a minimum of 100 rounds through it and then the ability to put all rounds on a paper plate at 50 feet for those who cannot do this then at least they tried and know their limitations.

Go to the range and learn the gun, then consider it for carry................
