It's completely a matter of training and practice. That's why even the lowliest Airman in the Air Force gets firarms training... Wow, even the military figured that one out.

Vehicle training comparison is completely valid. You want to see a country where no driving training or licensing is required? I have. They are ripe with incompetence leading to death.

I fully agree it's everyone's given right to defend themselves, and even own a gun within the boundries of the law. It's also everyone's right to breed, but hey, we all know not everyone should be doing that either.

Don't even get me started on LE firearms skills. I'm a retired Fed for the USAF. As a whole they suck, but they don"t suck as bad as those who don't get training and practice with CCW's. I've shot with both.

I used to think I was a pretty damn good shot with any gun. Then I woke up and got training by professionals and have practiced my ass off.
