Chas.
Agreed. I'd also say that if folks are going to spend their limited time and money on additional training they might benefit more from taking a first aid class than a shooting class (although learning to shoot better might be more fun). Truth is, the emergency we might encounter is much more likely to be a car accident, a heart attack, or a kid with a scraped knee than a bad guy trying to hurt us. In a perfect world we would be ready for any of those things...but that ain't gonna happen so it makes sense to prepare for the most likely.
