[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 2927209, member: 124909"] Very true. When you start setting standards and considering just who might be setting them that becomes a mighty slippery slope. In my experience shooters are a friendly bunch and many are very willing to help folks out that are truly willing to learn. Although sometimes the info they give may range from really good to exactly wrong. Help is out there. But it needs to be the right help. Theres also another group. I've been an instructor for a long time and have worked with many shooters that have never held a gun before. Most are willing to do what is necessary to learn and want be safe and to excel. But I can honestly say that there are some people out there that just can't be taught. It may be due to arrogance, carelessness, foolishness, ignorance, etc. These are the folks that scare me. They are a danger to others and to themselves. Proficiency with a firearm is one thing but safety is absolutely imperative. These are the folks we can do without. [/QUOTE]
