HA,
If you wish to conflate firearm safety with firearm training so be it. But do not ascribe my quotation to dealing with firearms training. It is the cardinal rule of gun safety and requires no training for a sentient person.
Alex Baldwin may well have had firearms training but he violated the cardinal rule of firearm safety.
With regard to the Texas law, I need to make you aware that there are many states with the same laws, Vermont, for example.
I prefer trained firearm users but it doesn't seem to make a difference on concealed carry laws if the person has training or not when it comes to accidents.

The bullet that killed Ms. Hutchens, exited her body and injured Mr. Souza, according to investigators and people on the scene.Not two shots as I had hypothesized.
The NRA teaches:
Firearm Safety Rule No. 1: Treat every gun as if it were loaded
"Every gun deserves an air of respect, and the best way to exhibit that is to always treat every gun as if it were loaded. Never assume that a gun is unloaded. This holds true even when you handle a firearm without shooting it, like during maintenance and cleaning processes. The same mindset applies when you conduct dry-fire practice drills. Another good procedure is to have another shooter verify that the gun being handled is unloaded."

Let me bang my head against the wall......HOW does this TEXAS law make sense in a rational world???
