He's one that believes a gun is a gun and you just point where you want the bullet to go and pull the trigger. At 5 yards he COULD NOT hit paper. Had that been a real self defense situation he would have killed someone innocent. Would you have been OK with that if it was one of your relatives walking by? Certain things require practice.

How'd that dragging your dad to the range actually work out?
I figured out that I'm powerless over other people's actions and that trying not to be powerless over them made my life unmanageable a long time ago.
It's your life, you live it, you accept the consequences.
