    Some people I have worked with at big box stores don’t give two shits and they could probably use a bit more training themselves.

    You are correct about the people at my range though. We can spot someone easily who has no training and has never been around a firearm. (It’s a private range, and all of us are basically the “range master”.) We kinda go out of our way to ensure range safety and provide education regardless if we were asked for it or not.

    Also yes, I have known people that have zero training or experience that have bought a firearms with no questions asked and no advice given. It’s a thing, unfortunately. When stupid people do stupid things, they tend to migrate to places that are equally as stupid that will sell them a firearm regardless as long as a background check clears.

    While I do have appreciation for your specific wording, I just have seen a ton of stupid shit, s’all.
