I never think about this. I have never been trained on a hand gun, but as a minor, many years ago, I had to take a hunter safety course before I could get my hunting license.

With a Winchester 30/30 I used to be able to hit a large paper plate at 50 yards with open sights (no scope).

Does that count as training for a rifle?

A 30/30 is a pretty good brush rifle. It is short enough and light enough to swing it around pretty easily. Not as easy as a hand gun, but still I would prefer a 30/30 with open sights over a 30 ought 6 with scope (my dad's weapon of choice).

I have not fired a rifle, excluding BB guns, since 1975.

Never pull out a rifle or hand gun unless you intend to use it.

Never pull the trigger unless you intend to kill.
