Mr. 16 gauge,

Points well taken. But, unless a CCW person carries their CCW handgun in hand at all times, they will occasionally NEED to draw a loaded gun from a holster. I am not talking Quick Draw here, rather a conditioned, smooth draw from the holster. If the proper holster is used, the trigger is covered until the handgun clears the holster and NONE of my 100 students per session ever shot of their toes or mine in over 10 years. That is part of the training I impart.

CCW requires people train on drawing from a concealed hoster. If liability is an issue, have the folks sign a Release from Liability while on club grounds. As federal agents, all users of Boston's Moon Island pistol range had to sign waivers before we could shoot our qualification course on Boston's range.

Liability comes in all shapes and sizes. The local sky diving club in NH REQUIRED all divers sign Releases from Liability before they could board the plane. Same for deep sea divers before they could get on the boat at quay side.

I carefully select my CCW students; dufuses are rejected out-of-hand.
