There is no telling what someone will do when you make contact.
As a new IPSC shooter, I agree with some form of orientation class before shooting. If we are going to make safety our top priority, how can we do this without giving a new shooter the tools with which, they can attain the goal? A new shooter, without some form of orientation/instruction is going to be unsafe. If not unsafe than they will break rules they no nothing of.... Therefore, if the top priority is safety, there is no way someone who has never worn a holster or shot IPSC type events, should ever enter a range to do so without some form of instruction on how to do it safe.
