Seems to me that the hunters safety course is designed for the lowest common denominator. Perhaps making the course more intelllectually engaging and and the test more difficult with more questions about real life safety situations. Probably would help if it wasnt one and done, but rather a retesting requirement every 5 years.
Of course it's for the lowest common denominator. And being more intellectually engaging wouldn't be a bad start.
Just unload the gun. What is wrong with people?
But you can't fix willful stupidity and the government shouldn't be in the business of legislating common sense. In fact, the widespread growth of the nanny state just works to exacerbate these kinds of problems by encouraging the abdication of personal responsibility. Stupidity should have consequences.
