“I’ll probably get blasted for this but I don’t care.”
OK - I’ll oblige you however I don’t consider it a “blast”, just presenting an alternate view.
“Training is so important.”
There are plenty of states that don’t have that as a pre-requisite for receiving a carry permit and there’s little evidence that their law has resulted in “danger to the public.” Can you provide further support of your assertion by using data from one of these “Wild West” states that don’t require training?
Also, please quote the requirement in the language of our founding documents that requires training to exercise any of the rights mentioned. This would include speech, public assembly, publication/press, religion, etc. I anxiously await my further edification on these matters.
I’m in PA and have a concealed carry permit.
All that was required to obtain it was the completion of the sherriff’s form, and providing of 2 in-county non-blood references.
I was raised around guns and taught safety from the start. I’ve taught my kids the same. But I won’t go to a public range during prime time hours. The lack of basic handling skills will make your skin crawl. Last visit, there was a guy laying on his back, shooting an AR between his feet. Insanity.
What’s the solution?
