I immediately realized that based on his behavior, he was unfamiliar with handguns and I told him that I would help him and make his gun safe. The firearm had an empty chamber but the clip was full. After securing his firearm, I strongly suggested that he take up some classes at the local Shooters World.

Just wondering, how many “unfamiliar” soles here carry?
I do not feel the need to carry a gun here in the villages. I am concerned that as residents age to the point they can no longer be TRUSTED with a weapon, still carry. This is not a status symbol or the wild west.
