Well this divulged after the data corruption re-started it???
How much training is enough was the original question. Yesterday I attended a tactical pistol class to obtain a permit. It was a wildly diverse group of people, from which end does the projectile come out of, to people who were there to just get checked off. After watching people at the newbie end of the spectrum get instructed and improve, and some who did not, we all got got our tickets punched. Pretty scarry I thought as some of them I felt should not be allowed to carry a sling shot unsupervised.
At the end the instructor told everyone that practice,practice,practice was the key to getting better and staying qualified. He gave all the newbs a list of dates for formal time when he could further help and guide them. 1/2 the newbs signed up immediately, the other 1/2 scoffed and went away. sound familiar? So the lesson I took away is that it is ALL up to the student, not the instructor or agency. All the newbs met the minimum requirement and were urged to continue training, yet some will not. Human nature is pretty scarry huh?
