Sounds like you had the same teacher I did and that was our parents and grandparents on how to handle firearms safely. But would you do away with the Hunter Ed requirement?
I agree the Case law was a pain at times - but I am so used to it and it protects my firearms from damage that I will continue to use them.
But with the relaxed vehicle rule - you watch - some person will rest his loaded weapon against the car - it will fall causing someone to get hurt!
