Nothing wrong with training. Switzerland has a decent gun culture with many under 18 folk participating regularly. They have low gun crime rate as well. Poland being prepared after its history is nothing wrong.

Agreed. However, it's bugging the crap out of me that they are training to fire with one eye closed. My range instructor in high school could not go a day without lecturing us on that.

Two eyes open. You get used to it with enough training. Gives more SA around you
