  You handle firearms in class.
  Edit: at least in the 90s you handled firearms.
context: The fact that hunters were that close to marked trails and shot in their direction is fucked up. >
  
  AND they shot at blaze colored clothing none the less. 
  Nothing in nature is that bright of an Orange or Yellow, at least nothing you could legally be shooting at unless you’re a flower hunter. >
  
  Took a course for my FID 10 years ago and one of the biggest rules was DONT FUCKING SHOOT UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU’RE SHOOTING AT ffs >
  
  Which part of "Be sure of your target and what lies beyond it" do these clowns not understand? >
  
  Not a requirement. There are no training, competence, intelligence or responsibility requirements no own and operate a gun in this country >
  
  This was a hunter. To get a hunting license in my state requires 12 hours of classroom instruction, passing a written test and demonstrating the ability to safely handle and shoot a gun at a range.
  The problem is that no training is required before purchasing a firearm. >
  
  Hunter safety is required in PA but there's no handling of firearms during the course. >
  
  There is absolutely handling of firearms and teaching to be sure of your target and what is beyond.

  I assume they meant that you don't physically handle a firearm in class.
