 I didn't contemplate a complete novice when I posted my comment.  Obviously "training", i.e. basic firearms safety and familiarity are necessary.  It's just not such a big deal as handwringing,  anti-gun people would have you think.  
I've taught many people to shoot.  It's not that difficult to learn.   Much easier than driving a car.
