187. I don't think it's the "experience" with guns that's the issue, but the experience with the carrier.

A perfect stranger walking around with a gun? I have no idea if the guy is trained or not. I have no idea how many screws are loose in that guy's head. I have no idea if he just had an argument with his girlfriend, his spouse, or both and is currently in a riled-up mood. I have no idea if he just banged down a couple shots of whiskey or toked some pcp (or whatever is the modern equivalent).

Any sane person has fear when there is a reason for it. Someone carrying a very dangerous object very near you when you have no idea what the frame is, is a dangerous situation that should rationally be feared.

The only "gun safety course" that would help in that case would be the one that tells you how to react when an armed stranger decides for whatever reason, or no reason at all, that he wants to use that weapon.
