The thread is about a TRAINED deputy sheriff. And it's not rocket science to learn to safely handle a weapon. Any person, male or female that has gone through basic training learns to use and master a weapon in several weeks. New recruits do not leave basic training without having met the standards of marksmanship. That includes breaking down and cleaning a weapon.

Prior to entering basic training I had never owned or fired any weapon. AFter 7 weeks of basic I could hit targets at 300m with an M16 - No scope. And that's the basic minimum.
