It's amazing how twisted things can get over the internet without immediately being able to retort with words. I guess you woulda just had to have been there. This whole elitist thing makes me lol, I'm anti everything. I can't stand the hoops we need to jump through and state regulation is retarded. I simply looked over at a grown man twisting a pistol around and pictured a 13 year old playing with his dads gun and he ends up blowing his face off. I'm glad he bought a gun, he looks like the type of guy who would shoot a crack head for coming on his lawn but in the interest of self preservation he should have forked out the 35 bucks and went to the same class I did
I didn't intend to imply that you were anti-anything. I was merely reminding you that the 2nd Amendment applies to everyone - even the apparent bozos. A prudent man will buy a pistol when he's able. A *smart* man will learn to use said pistol safely and appropriately. In the absence of amplifying information, we must then assume the man is at least prudent.
I happen to agree with some of the others that there is some good info available on the internet regarding safety, and usage for pretty much any firearm you might care to mention. We can only hope that, at the very least, he seeks out this info, or better, consults a qualified firearms instructor.
In my own case, I was a relatively good shot, and then I found a couple of videos on youtube that helped me to improve my technique to the point that I can more-often-than-not make a double-tap head shot as far away as 25 yards with my 1911. I'd say that's a pretty decent ROI on youtube.
