[quote="Cpt. Zapotoski":0ace5]Obviously Summers and Nitesnipe don't know jack about boot camp... the ones that have the HARDEST at basic/boot are the hillbilly rednecks who learn how to shoot when they are 5...

Want to know why!? Because they create bad habits when they are young and can't break it.

You learn what you need to know about a rifle during training.[/quote:0ace5]

Your point is well taken. Unfortunately there are too many parents teaching their children the wrong lessons regarding gun safety, and at too early of an age. I was thinking more in terms of the ordinary man, not a soldier, learning proper gun safety in order to be able to safely handle a gun.

But what you said does not surprise me at all.
