And in an earlier post, you mentioned a lifetime permit. I can't believe that there's a politician in the world who would miss the opportunity to collect a fee on an ongoing basis.
As to your friend with the H&K. I take it that he's not much of a shooter if he's unfamiliar with a decocker. Actually, I'm surprised that if he is such a rube that he would spring for an H&K.
Sounds more like a F.I.E. owner to me, although I do take your word.

There is talk from the new Governor on stopping the lifetime permit. But there is such a backlog on applications the wait is now a few months. But the receipt is as good as one. Been after my Son's and wife to get one before they go away.
What is F.I.E. BTW?
The friend with the H&K is a machinist at the Ford Truck plant for thirty years. Restores Bikes and tube gear. Knows how to use guns, just buys and sells them at auctions and so forth. Had it but never liked it because it as double action on every pull. The second shot was the same as the first. I was looking it over to see if it would work for the wife. That is when I decocked it to his surprise! He is one of the few people I would trust giving a gun to. I'm just saying even a person experienced in the use and handling firearms can be ignorant. I feel all should be trained, not everyone will take the time to learn the correct operations of their weapons. Not fun!
Safety accidents happen, my Father was shot in the heart by my Uncle at fourteen with a "unloaded pistol". Carried the slug the rest of his life.
