I have no formal training. I simply grew up with a family and friends who loved guns and was taught firearms use and safety all my life. Do you think those men would put up with me doing something unsafe around them while hunting or around the campfire? I got my butt chewed more than once. I also got taught how to shoot and how to reload.
Nothing is certain. You could be good. You could be bad and lucky. You also could be average. Needless to say training is not always a determining factor either - plenty of police officers shoot themselves. Some of them also grew up shooting and hunting, in addition their formal training.
