I was struck by her complete lack of knowledge and how the world and nature function.
I see it as well a number of places but never to the extent that this lady displayed.So many young people today are unaware of the reality's that surround them. Social media/gaming/immersed in a digital world. I see it in my kids friends.

Well, she did take a class, so that's a good first step. Did she happen to mention how she came about finding out about your class and registering for it, etc? Just curious.
The ranges's facebook page. She was looking to get into plinking because it is fun. She had been shooing with someone a couple of times and liked it. Wanted to get better at it. Normally Home Defense and EDC are the goals of folks in the class.
I have struggled with this idea since my retirement the conclusion I have arrived at is that most people have no reference for “danger”.
Normal people go though life with mostly like minded people and have never encountered a predator or wolf. People generally truly believe that if you are kind to somebody they will respond in kind.
A person with the “kind” mindset has never had a fistfight or had somebody speak rudely to them. If somebody treats them rudely they tend to get all bent out of shape and mention “respect”.
Not understanding that some people don’t care about their feelings or what happens to them.
Typically the life experiences have not fostered a relationship with the dark side of life.
They would say “We had a great time when we visited the Zoo”.
I would say “ Remember the time that biker dude pulled a knife on me in a dive bar”.
Most people encounter beggers or transients a nice person reacts in a kind manner often letting them close the reactionary gap while speaking with them. Not understanding the danger that is possible with a street person that are often mentally ill.
A nice person just has not been exposed to danger from other humans and has not learned the skills to deal with it.
In a panic situation a nice person often gets overwhelmed and does nothing or are ineffective in the response like running in circles.
The “bubble” they live in does not let them comprehend that somebody might kill them for no reason at all.
BTW
This is how the “sheepdog” concept doesn’t work IMO.
She was not looking for Defensive training.Sounds like the Unthinkable and either the USCCA or NRA Home Defense courses could be next, or does she need more time to understand the safety rules and basic functions?

Chicks are never in danger. TV and movies have taught me all females are badarses. None of them need training in strength or the martial arts or a weapon.
All they need to do is believe in themselves and they can knock out any dude with one punch.
