I don't know of anyone in this group that would be unwilling to help someone learn how to responsibly and safely use a firearm.
True that, just to add... The way of the old west, and the times when little johhny knew at age 6 how to operate the shotgun hanging over the fireplace, are gone.

Nowadays, it is coming full circle, back to people arming themselves, which is good, but since most of them havent ever owned a gun, or held one, they need training. Perhaps what we have is fine, but maybe some non-profit organizations can offer some training apart from what is "required".

I'm always eager to teach people offline about firearms if they express an interest.
