Good deal.

Concerning ladies on the firing line:
I have found far fewer ladies w/ non-functional guns on the line than men.

I too have a little problem w/ folks coming to a class w/ no forethought or skills.
I once watched an instructor stand behind a shooter & close finish closing his slide after almost every shot. The instructor asked when it had been cleaned.
"Well not since the last time I was here. I only shoot this one to qualify. I carry a revolver."
My guess is that one does not see much #9 either.

Legislation that restricts others is not the answer though. If that particular issue of foolish complacency is legislated away there will be another that shows its head pretty shortly.

On the other hand I have a problem w/ the "No help" rule.
There are folks that are proficient enough to pass the test but health keeps them from from being time efficient on the line.
Folks w/ autheritis so severe that it takes them 10 minutes to load a mag need some help. They cannot load 5 & rack a slide 10 times in a 20 minute proficience test.
They can set at home & in an evening get 2 high cap mags loaded & the arm charged. Someone in that physical condition is a much more evident victim than you or I. They will probably never need to reload in a fire fight & will certainly neve need to reload a 3rd mag.
They need the right to defend themselves too.

There are some problems that legislation is not the answer too no matter what the LIBS say.
