I have friends who have never shot who want me to take them to the range. They always want to shoot the “big gun”. That big gun might be a .357, .44 or even a 9mm depending on the shooter.
The point is that it is the responsibility of the gun owner to make sure the weapon you hand to a new shooter is i line with their skill.
10% of this is the shooters fault, but 90% of this issue comes from the person who should know better.
I’ve seen people accidentally pull the trigger when this happens:
The weapon is out of control and the new shooter grips it tighter, pulling the trigger in the process. Granted it is more likely with a semi-auto – but seeing this scares me.
Shoot safely.
Be smart.
