What do YOU think is "good enough" pistol skills for an armed citizen ?

[PAallterrain]

I feel every person has a level of training they are comfortable with, and as long as they act within their level of training i see no reason for anyone to question that.

A lady has almost zero traning but knows how to handle her gun safely and shoot a target at 5 yards. If someone attacks her and she shoots them at point blank range and keeps from getting raped, she acted within her level of training and all is well.

Now the same lady is in the bank when it is robbed. The suspect is holding a bank employee hostage and she shoots at the suspect from 10 yards within the bank and hits the bank employee. She has now acted outside her level of training and bad things happen.

So i guess this is where i stand.

A. You need to be able to handle your firearm Safely.
B. You need to know your what your abilitys are with your firearm.
C. You need to always act within your ability.

If you can do those 3 things, you're good to go in my book. I am sure others will disagree, but its a free nation.
