[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3256496, member: 5412"] I think not necessarily “stupid”. A better term would be uninformed and under trained. I’m not advocating a training program, what I’m saying is that a lot of folks with no mentor can buy a firearm with no knowledge of common gun safety, and publicly display that lack of knowledge when using that firearm. I think it’s our responsibility to become mentors to the uninformed. I realize that can be tough because some folks just don’t want to be instructed and that then becomes the range safety officer responsibility to take care of. One of the reasons I don’t like crowded indoor ranges. “Instructing” one with a smile on the face and a hand shake and not a chip on the shoulder would go a long way to getting the message across.
