Formal instruction is incredibly important as many adults (parents) have serious safety issues that result from complacency.

One of the biggest offenses is leaving a firearm and ammunition in the same accessible area in a house with modern teenagers.

Also: A competent firearms instructor is not your parent / buddy and offers no leeway for screw ups. They won't baby you.

I've found that people often pay more attention to authority figures because they're unfamiliar and demanding.

The military often uses this approach when training guys on something new for the first time. Prevents complacency.
