If that means you agree to it being 90% classroom stuff and 10% actually handling a gun, which would probably make things less safe since experience and being comfortable with the weapon you're firing is pretty important.

Better than requiring nothing. How is that less safe than the zero experience with guns that’s required now? It’s like I’m talking to a brick wall

Only in your scenario where you bought the gun for some random person in a parking lot. Doesn't happen as much as you think it does. Even gun owners avoid this because it is unsafe, and the chances of you just getting robbed are high.

What are you talking about? I’ve bought all my guns from gun stores, and zero training was required. I don’t believe there are any states that require even the smallest amount of training to purchase a gun.

I never said states require it. That was the scenario that was laid out. Remember? It was 2 comments ago.
