Four precepts of gun-safety.
Four elements of common law self-defense.
Wisconsin legally prohibited practices and places.
Makes, models, calibers, capabilities - all Barbara Streisand.

'Would', 'could' and 'should' characterize unfalsifiable statements not worth the sweat of a lawyer's mount.
I, coincidentally, had the opportunity last night, at our weekly community burgers and beer supper, to look over the state hunters training manual in the hands of a mid-teen young lady.

I saw the epitome of mission creep, of trying to satisfy legions of faceless bureaucrats, each with his pet suggestion and with no concern for any budget, of dollars or time. I would not consider that an exemplar of 'training'.
