I grew up on a farm, surrounded by guns and shooters and hunters, lots of shooting for pleasure and hunting, gun handling classes, all that stuff. Started shooting at 8, first deer at 12.
took shooting classes in college as PE, lol.
I own about 15 guns. unlike some of my friends I don't carry or keep in the car. (or truck when I drive trucks)
last year I found a buck thrashing by the road, and regretted not having a gun to put him down - so I am considering getting a 22 for the trunk of the car. a couple of years ago I was in a similar situation - young deer hit by a car, hips crushed and thrashing, and was able to get home, get a rifle, and help him.
personally I think all men should master gun handling.
