Define average person? Do you know how many registered hunters there are in the US? Around 15 million according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Most states require a hunters safety course. Your argument doesn't hold water.
average person doesn't have military training. in states where courses are required i bet there are less incidents of accidental shootings. in states where there is not the 'average joe' just a regular guy who learned to shoot from his father and so on teaches his son the same mistakes he learned from his father and so on. though that only applies if hunting is the end goal of teaching to shoot which is less common these days. its more for self defense or whatever in which case there are no required courses to take.
