how many times have we heard people say "all you need to do is fire a couple rounds in the air...", or "just point the shotgun in their direction and you can't miss..." or other, equally irresponsible BS?
Actually, we and millions of other Americans heard it from a fairly prominent politician

The sad fact is, his advice is nothing I haven't heard hundreds of clueless husbands and fathers give to hundreds of wives and daughters who are neophytes. They might make one quick trip to shoot a few rocks at the old quarry, but that's the extent of the training given.

The illusion of safety is sometimes the most dangerous thing out there.
