For the second time in 11 years I had someone show up for a test challenge this weekend with a pocket full of ammo. Don't bring ammo to a CFSC or test!
 
Probably the safest environment possible for learning, and someone still wants to play "let's see if these bullets I found (since he shouldn't be allowed to have purchased them) fits in the instructor's gun." Argh.
 
Maybe he thought it would be appropriate to bring your own if there was to be any shooting? mmm, sort of like bringing donuts...?
 
When I did my ATT course, an Iranian guy and his wife were in the same class. She didn't speak english so he was allowed to translate the questions & answers for her. Tell me he didn't also provide her the correct answers...:rolleyes:

My friend is blind so I had to answer the test for him.. I didn't have to help him he still got 100 percent the only problem was the photos and then I just grabbed the firearm brought it to him and said here is the one in the photo.. he told me the action type marked it down went to the next question.. he even passed the saftey part by him self I only showed him were the firearms on the table were to speed it up... So a blind person can pass the test..
 
How would they know?

Okay, so we know that the CFSC does not involve any live fire, but how is a prospective student to know that?
He/she is booked to take a "firearms safety course", aren't they? Registering students are informed not to bring ammunition to class, are they? No, I don't think so.
If he/she was not given any information to the contrary - and I'd bet that he/she never was - isn't is reasonable of him/her to assume that some ammunition might be useful?
 
Oh noes, ammo near guns! how will we survive!

As long as they are not trying to load the guns, who cares...

The bigger question is how did they get ammo, without a license ?

And as a side note, when I got my confirmation for my class I was also informed not to bring ammo to class, this was written in the confirmation letter sent to all students...
 
lol, its pretty obvious if you don't have a license you shouldn't be in possession of ammunition. I knew that before I stepped foot into the class.

Its basic common sense. If you don't have the sense to not bring something that legally you shouldn't have then well I would doubt you have the common sense for safe firearm handling. And would do something like that idiot in the GIF with the scoped rifle that got facialled by the scope cause he wasn't holding properly/safely lol...

It is very easy to legally buy ammo and then still challenge. He might have had his PAL already and was challenging for his RPAL. But if that was the case he'd have likely known that it wasn't a live fire test. Assuming that he brought ammo explicitly for the test.

But another situation could happen too - one that has caught me a few times - I forget that I have ammo (usually .22LR in a shirt pocket) on me and then go somewhere else after plinking.

How's his shooting? Does he echo-locate his targets? :rolleyes:
 
There's not accounting for common sense, is there?

If you're in a firearms course, everyone around you probably doesn't have a PAL or FAC
If everyone around you doesn't have a PAL of FAC, they probably can't access ammo.
If no one can access ammo, but it's required, the instructor ought to provide it.

Am I missing a fatal flaw here?
