Maybe it’s just the circle of friends I hang out with but all of my shooting friends exhibit excellent range discipline. I used to think it was military training but there are plenty of us that aren’t veterans and exhibit the same quality of safety without it ever being a topic of discussion. So I think it’s really that we were all brought up around guns, learning from an early age how to properly respect a firearm.

I don't see why it would be unreasonable to ask FFL dealers to provide that as a service.

Not everyone is cut out to be an instructor. I for one wouldn’t do it because I’m not very patient with dumbasses.
Thing with all of these proposals is they’re all taking from the law abiding citizen. Where exactly is the give back?
