I agree with Scott - it has nothing to do with trust - it has everything to do with safety. Good gun handling skills are just as important on informal ranges as they are on formal ranges. The rule is "No handling of any items (e.g. - guns, mags, sunglasses or a soda can) on the shooting bench and no handling of firearms anywhere on the range during a cease-fire". Firearm accidents don't happen in a vacuum - they usually take a person, firearm, ammo and not following, one or more, basic safely rules. I would direct your wife to a firearms safety course and not attempt to train her yourself. Best of luck, Dan
