You can go through safety-training and still be unsafe. I had a recent Vet ask me to let him bring some Chinese businessman out to shoot on my property. It all went well with the businessman. And the Combat Veteran while clearing his weapon fired round almost 90 degrees to the backstop. I haven't been that red assed mad in so long.

Responsible adults with firearms make everyone around them safer. Irresponsible adults who don't even use a holster make those around them safer.
