Imagine the differences it would make if virtually every child were taught firearms safety, handling and care by competent instructors.

...And who gets to set the "competency" bar, that is the guise the anti-gunners have been using against us for years, Lets not be the group adding water to the already "slippery slope".

Most people will do what they feel comfortable with, if they require training, most will seek it out from one source or the other. But if a citizens "misuses" this right... the Law, if properly used, will take care of the problem. This is not just some whimsical idea, a lot of us grew up where we could store our hunting rifles in the school locker.

We just need to get back to common sense... and forcing a citizen to complete a "competency" test to exercise a right is not the way to go about it.

I never said that. That's your idea not mine. The majority of our population lives where they can't find a place to shoot or bring a gun to school and that was true in 1900 too.
