BTW there are several states that do require some training for a
handgun card and all of them require training for a concealed carry
card

If you have a DD214 with anything greater than a general discharge you
can fore go the training. If you are active duty or reserve you can fore
go the training.

At a certain point I agree with JP. The CCW course has very little to
do with the gun and mostly talks about why you can't actually use the
gun. (use of deadly force law)
You did not get that in the Marines.

That still has little to do with a guy who buys a skeet gun or a
hunting rifle.,

We learned how to shoot targets at 200, 300 and 500 yards with the M16A1
for qualification. We did fam fire with the M16A1 on full-auto. We also
fam fired the 1911 in .45.

Nobody died on Parris Island while I was there.

You guys must be good. Our longest range target was only 300 yards, for the M14.

#00 yds is pleanty long enough for self defense practice, Except, maybe
for Harry Krause.

That '#' shows you were taught to capitalize the first word of a sentence. Must have had a non-union
teacher. Maybe a nun. They'd sneak up behind and smack the **** out of your ear for not capitalizing
appropriately.

Everyone knows that the pound sign is a capital 3.

Absolutely. That's what Sister Mary Rosella taught me.
