Reply to comment by [deleted] in Fort Worth councilman's 82-year-old mother shot through door of her home by infinitum3d

You make good points man, you're probably right in saying training and certification wouldn't have prevented this shooting. Maybe if she had her own gun, she could have protected herself. Maybe she still would have died. We'll never know.

My point is, there is no law that could have saved her life, so we shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of progress, and I think mandatory training for potential gun owners is progress.

Not going to lie, I didn't read the article. That was pretty much my point though, some situations are just un-legislatable. However irrelevant to this particular incident training may have been, it would still be a net benefit to a gun-laden society like ours. I was just using this article as an excuse to open dialogue on the topic is all.
