Fun thing in Australia, you don't need to be able to hit a target to get a gun licence. Licences tests are more focused on firearm safety.

I mean, that's how it should be. Just like getting drivers license requires you to demonstrate you can drive safely, so should a firearms license.

Drive safely and not hit things even.

So, like the gun test.

In my country we’re required to set an acceptable lap time around the local racetrack.

Local race track, formerly air field, future housing project.

Laughs in Texan

Here you just buy the pistol, and a holster you like, and that's it.

I'd say being able to hit an intended target and not just praying and spraying is part of firearm safety. Errant bullets can cause a lot of damage. It's been over a decade since I've owned a firearm but it wasn't for nothing that one of the four fundamental rules of firearm safety I was taught is "be sure of your target and what's behind it".

in the firearm safety course, you learn not to shoot if there's anything behind the target you do not intend to destroy. Even if you hit the target, the bullet can pass through it. So it really makes no difference for gun safety whether you hit.

I’ve been taught “treat, never, keep, keep” as the four rules. How do yours go?
