Even if someone loads the gun for you then hands it to you, it only takes a few seconds to put it to your head and pull the trigger. So even that range in PA could have someone commit suicide if they really want to. The instructor would only have "total control" if he never handed the gun to the other person. ricardo I don't mean to sound harsh but if you really think, as soon as you hand a loaded gun to someone you have lost control of it.
