The original purpose of the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) when it was introduced in 1903 was to allow a non military individual a chance to learn how to operate a firearm with safety. It resulted as part of the War Appropriations Act so that citizens would already be somewhat trained if they were ever drafted into war.
