I offer to those who live in places where firearms are forbidden, or access to same seriously limited, a video course of instruction in firearm safety which is required in order to obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon here in Arizona. The instructor is actually fairly good, with only a couple of script-reading errors. It's a bit humorous to watch him attempt to demonstrate the Weaver stance, intended to reduce the cross-section available to an assailant to shoot at, since he's rather fat. But he does manage to suck it up enough to show a plausible difference in target area. It does take 40 minutes to get through the video, but it's all informative and relatively interesting.
Everything is free until you want an actual certificate emailed or snail-mailed to you, so you can play the video as often as you like. Have fun!

It's customary to provide a link to videos that you refer to!!

The link was actually in the original post, but for some odd reason it went away. For the sake of completeness, here it is.[^] I really hope it doesn't go away again. That might incline me to start taking conspiracy theories more seriously.

What's hilarious is that this is all that's required to obtain a concealed weapon permit in Arizona. At least when I got mine I had to learn the laws about shooting in self-defense and demonstrate that I can hit a target. I'm not in favor of letting government tell me what I may or may not carry, but this is just asking for legal troubles. I wonder how many people are walking around with guns who don't know when they're legally allowed to use them? I was surprised to learn, for instance, that if I see somebody shooting school kids on campus and I stop him by shooting him, I go to jail and forfeit my right to have a gun. Weird, and I doubt that anyone would try to enforce it against someone who saved a bunch of kids' lives, but that is the law. Crazy...

The Weaver stance ... That's the position one assumes when one's standing as far as possible into the rack of hanging suits and ironed shirts without hitting the back of their head on the 1.5 inch wooden clothing dowel that spans the two side walls of the bedroom closet.

Lets say you just found a genie... You get your wishes, what would it be.
Just tell me your first wish, and lets see if you would be able to get what you wish for.
(Many idiots wish for something and then end up wishing it back to the way it was, so lets see if a bunch of programmers can do better)

Granted.
You are now getting what truly need when you need it. Becoming hated by everyone as free will does not get affected they kill you. (No, you do not really need to be immortal or not die so thus you die after a few months you got your wish)

Except, I would truly need something to protect me from the mob...

It is not a mob, a contract kill. You do not need the protection as everybody dies.

This is very true. "Need" or "deserve" are interchangeable in those cases...

In Gujarati (one of the language in Gujarat state of India), there is one story that God was very pleased with a man and granted a (only one) wish. And this person asks for exactly one wish as
"Please grant me a wish that "At the age of 100, sitting on gold swing in my palace, I see my grand-children playing far away while eating supari (Areca_nut)"
Effectively, he asked for long age, health (seeing granhchildren playing far away so good eyesight, Areca Nut is hard to chew so good teeth), wealth and family !!! 
Thanks,

Well the wish is granted.
Nothing changed at all. Just before your 100th birthday you win the lottery and with it spent it on a palace with a gold swing, sitting upon the swing your lost child shows you his children, so you write up a will. That night you figure out it is all a lie but the will was already set up and swindler kills you and takes all your money.
