I'm also in favor of the one on one theory. Not to say
that an accident won't happen; but this sure cuts
down on the likely hood of it happening.
My wife and I took another couple shooting right
after we got married. The female friend had 0 fire-
arms training, or experience; and the male had
very little. I'm instructing the female, who is armed
with a Smith & Wesson 2" barrel model 36 that
belonged to her husband. She has the gun in her
hand, and assumes the Weaver stance firing
position. Next thing I know, she has cocked the
hammer and turned sideways; aiming the
cocked and loaded firearm right at my noggin!
After shaking in my boots momentrily, I got her
attention; watching the firearm ever so carefully.
Lucky me, she was scared to pull the trigger for
fear of the recoil; so I was able to get the weapon
pointed safetly downrange. Moral of the story is,
we never invited those particular persons to go
shooting again!
