Re: People who really need more training

One may be called upon to reload one's weapon and one doesn't have to rack the slide on a revolver.

We should all know our limitations in whatever endeavor that we're engaged in. You reckon? :tiphat:

I go to the range at least once per month. I do this for my peace of mind that my weapons function as intended, also to teach my 16 year old how to handle firearms (He has been shooting since 10) and because I really enjoy it.

I agree many license holders need lots more practice. In my CHL class we had two women in the class that brought the weapon to the class still in the box. Both had semi autos and had no clue how to load the magazines, how to insert the mags into the weapon or how to drop the mag once all the rounds were expended. I wish the CHL instructors would make each student demonstrate the student knows how to load, unload, field strip and make a weapon safe for inspection before allowing a student to go through the class.
FWIW, :iagree: . A demonstrated modicum of proficiency in weapon handling should be a requirement for class AND range passage.

Yes, I have.

Blatant disregard for the safety of others on the range will get you tossed in a heartbeat. Skill problems, equipment problems, we can work on that. But we don't put up with attitude or behavior issues.

:iagree: And that's the way it should be :clapping: !

Re: People who really need more training

Another approach might be the age old practice of "shunning". When she shows up with her loaded gun and self, everyone leave the vicinity. If she has any sense or concern, she'll ask why the "cold shoulder". If she doesn't respond to the replies and suggestions, disinvite her to any other functions where guns are in use.

If she shows up uninvited, shoot her. :eek6
