Firearms are not for the faint of heart. To own, possess, carry concealed, operate, transport, and potentially use a firearm in self-defense is an incredible responsibility. This is the same responsibility that many firearm owners disregard. It is no wonder why statistics indicate high rates of accidents and deaths as a direct result of negligent "firearm ownership".
You are to be commended for your efforts and interest in becoming or continuing to be a knowledgeable, skilled and responsible firearm owner. The bonding of a person with a lethal weapon requires continuing education and regular training that is essential for safe and responsible ownership.
