Always be aware of where it's pointing

I actually found it a bit worrisome how low the barrier of entry was. When I did the course I saw a few people who clearly needed more time learning the materials, and the instructors basically railroaded them with “tips” during the actual test. They all passed.

An idiot can fail by pointing the firearm the wrong direction.
