Teresa - Same here, except I’d rather eat beef, so only the first two. I picked a gun with a safety that I can’t accidently undo. In my defensive pistol class they had us practice moving and shooting at the same time. That was the hardest part of the class for me.
Teresa - I’ve never been in the military, but had difficulty when I tried to shoot a rifle as a kid, because I’m right handed, and left eyed. Perfect target - no holes.
With pistols, it isn’t as difficult to use the opposite eye, so I’m a fairly decent shooter with those.
I’m also clumsy and flunked every depth perception test I’ve ever been given (which might account for the klutziness). My sons (18 & 21) are baffled how I can shoot better than they can, since my vision is worse. I tell them the bullet goes until it hits something that stops it - it doesn’t care if it is 8 feet, 20 or 30 feet away.
The defensive pistol class was taught by a guy who also teaches law enforcement officers, so he knows his stuff. Thankfully, for the moving & shooting drills, we had a head & shoulders target, instead of a bullseye, so as long as we got the holes in the neck, it was fine.

Zig zag as you run. Don’t run in a straight line.

In Clumsy’s hands, they could be weapons of mass destruction.
Good Morning, Fellow Cave Dwellers.

Awkward.

Very early versions of the Constitution had Amendment 2(A) which banned Clumsy from bearing any arms whatsoever.

I”ve known people like Clumsy. The fate of cvilization is in the balance whenever they walk out the door.

gun control is using both hands and hitting what you aim at
for all the anti-gun nuts think about this this country was born with common citizens with guns fighting for a better life
what if only the military had guns? sound like Nazi Germany?
