Anyone who’s ever been to a shooting range and is even remotely concerned about returning home afterwards has at least one horror story. In a recent post at usconcealedcarry.com, Karl Rehn points out what he calls an inconvenient truth: “Every gun owner believes that his or her gun handling is safe, regardless of how good or bad that gun handling is. This is an example of illusory superiority‑a cognitive bias that causes people to overestimate their positive qualities and abilities and to underestimate their negative qualities, relative to others. It’s also known as the Lake Wobegon effect, because none of us believe we are below average.” Click here to check out his nicely illustrated examples. They may remind you of someone you know. Maybe someone you’ve seen in the mirror. [h/t Tyler Kee]
