Admittedly tragedies such as you outline can and will occur. I am a firm advocated of intensive training in the use of firearms. In fact I firmly believe that prior to the issuance of a concealed carry permit all prospective applicants should have to successfully pass a series of shoot house tests, this unfortunately would be difficult to accomplish as not even all police forces have these facilities. However, most states require successful completion of classroom work in the legal use of deadly force as well as a skill test on the range. Not optimal, but a step in right direction. Even with the best of training mistakes happen. One of the operators on our team, almost took out 2 other members one evening, even after an exchange of passwords. It can happen.
