Getting started with gun safety

[ALAN]

I used to teach the Firearm Safety classes for the Washington State game dept. While the classes teach you the very basics of handling a firearm while hunting, it won't show you what you need to handle a personal firearm safely. The safest way to learn would be to contact a reputible gun shop that has a fireing range and they usually have classes and programs available. The biggest mistake made is buying a hand gun and thinking you don't need lessons. I've made a statement for years now that altho it seems easy to dispute me, know one has ever won. The statement is "There is no such thing as a shooting accident". There isn't a single so called "accident" out there that can't be proven to be anything other than neglect.
This wasn't put out as a challange, but I will except any.
