Thread: Mountain Safety out of firearm licence equation...

Pretty sure I'll be called a jackass and other names again but I don't necessarily see this as a bad thing.

The current testing system (as described by several volunteers on here) is primarily based on getting the 7 rules across. I do not see how a computer based system is any worse. It WILL most likely deal with the very real issue of "instructors" providing answers (read the other thread carefully if you still think this isn't happening) and inconsistencies in content delivery.

Personally, I think that the focus on initial licensing training needs to move away from the hunting bias (some people do use firearms for things other than hunting). In terms of hunting specific training (especially the continuing issue we have with target identification), I feel strongly that those training issues need to be addressed as part of the hunting permit application process.
