And also a former sworn police officer.
Another worrisome thing to me was brought up by KSIG RC earlier:
"It will be fascinating to see which happens first: a gun-carrying student shoots a gunman mid-assault and saves lives, or the gun-carrying student fails to stop an assailant/makes a "friendly fire"-type mistake/exacerbates a domestic situation or whatever."
Even professional law enforcement officers and military personnel who receive ongoing weapons training sometimes end up killing or wounding the wrong person.
Having taken a firearms safety class -- or several of them -- does not prepare one for combat.
