The answer could be a including training about how the human mind can see what it wants to see. It could be a fun and educational part of getting a licence.

All the rest..tougher sentences(they dont deter people who want to hurt someone) practical tests etc could be distractions from the issue.

I dont really know about blaze orange. I'm totally color blind and dont see what you see...blue is going to be safest around me.

Very well put and I think the I will never do that attitude stinks and is half the cause.....if you doubt your eyes and brain surely everyone is safer as when it plays tricks on you you will doubt the brain and second guess it!

If you are so sure about yourself you may end up like so many other "I will never do that" people in court and a charge ....

I have the benefit to have had a discussion with a mate that swore black and blue he had a deer in his scope pulled the gun down then back up and it wasn't there..... went over and no tracks. He was positive it was a deer but it was just a collection of ferns and trees the resembled a deer, second look and they didn't even resemble a deer that well. He took the second look and is not one to squeeze the trigger at the drop of a hat.... if he was a snap shooter type and there was a hunter in the middle of those twigs....well you don't want to think about it
