I understand that the Feds (DEA) will send one of their own to demonstrate hand gun safety to your classroom. See:
I'm the only one in this room professional enough to carry this Glock 40.

US Army trained with M-14, M-16, Colt 45, M-79, and M-60... Who is terrified of anyone that thinks that a handful of range hours makes them "safe" ...
Most combat infantrymen are deploying with less than 200 rounds fired through their assigned weapons these days.

That's freaking sad if true. A good buddy of mine dealing says he doesn't trust it until 500 rounds and on target. Good advice IMHO.
