that's a scary thought, some ppl are just not capable of handling a firearm safely. i had a friend who automatically assumed my hk40 was not loaded because he saw a clip sitting next to the gun, he picked it up and started waving it around like like a toy with his finger on the trigger. i myself knew the firearm was empty, but it bothers me that he didnt even check if there was a clip in the pistol, not did he rack the slide open to check for one in the chamber. i feel like it was somewhat my fault for laying it on the table next to me while playing cards ( my friend is 25 yrs old, no kids around), but i think anyone who decides to touch a gun, should atleast know how one works, and understand the dangers of a firearm, loaded or unloaded. on a side note, the only time my firearm is loaded and racked, is when its in my full control (holstered or in my hands). i do this because not everyone around me is educated on handling a firearm safely (yet).
so +1 to more training!!
