There are too many guns in this country and lots in the hands of people who shouldn't have them. Many of these guns shouldn't even be available to the general public. But skeet and trap and target shooting can actually be quite enjoyable, even relaxing passtimes. But they req uire the utmost attention to safety.I am only getting the license because it will be free and I think the classes will be a fun interesting experience. But seriously I can assure you I will never be walking around town with a loaded gun.
