I served in the Navy of years and was trained on the .45 pistol, the M-14 rifle, the M-60 machine gun, the .50 caliber machine gun, the 20mm Vulcan cannon and the 25mm Bushmaster cannon. But if I went out hunting and accidentally shot someone because I didn't visually verify my target and fired in the direction of a sound, I feel I'd have no reason to bitch if my guns were then taken away and i was prohibited from hunting for many years.
Despite the training and experience, my actions would be proof that I was a menace to others when armed.
