Education is power. Period. I feel that in most situations you need to be educated somehow. I know when i build something with instructions it educates me to some form of degree to assemble that task. As far as gun safety, i'm all in favor of training or taking a class to learn more. And i have. I unfortunately missed the CPL re-certification class or seminar that was offered for free at Cabelas last weekend. I try to go to these classes or workshops to keep up on current laws and procedures. I feel if you are a gun owner you need some form of training, whether you get it from your elders or by taking classes. Once you pull the trigger, you can't change the outcome.
As far as "Smart Guns" go, i don't think i would ever purchase such a thing. One thing that come to mind to me, is that all the technology in security systems in automobiles,and yet they still manage to steal them. Or better yet, computer hackers that still manage to hack the most fool proof systems. So having this technology in a handgun just doesnt sit well with me...
