there is nothing wrong with requiring a learners permit that involves some training.

What would you think of the same type of condition on the First Amendment. You must attend a class on "right think" before you are allowed to speak, or write anything.

Permits before you can worship as you please? Your group of friends scrutinized before you are "allowed" to peacefully assemble? Where does it end?

We are putting conditions on the Bill Of Rights, and that is a dangerous precedent.

You are comparing apples and oranges, There are limits to the First Amendment. Go yell fire in a crowded theater and try to claim the right to free speech. You are being hyperbolic and ridiculous. The State has the right even under the 2A to require training for concealed carry permits. This is not an infringement since NC is already an open carry state. Anyone who can legally own a gun,(despite the 2A not everyone can legally own a gun) can openly carry said weapon. To conceal it the State can require training. Besides, to have CC reciprocity with many other states, NC must require training. Except where unreasonable, like NY State, name one case where requiring training for concealed carry has been successfully challenged under the 2A. Maybe you should study the rules a little before firing off about the 2A. Sometimes you are protecting the individual carrying by making them learn the laws and understand how to not run afoul of the law. An 18 year with a gun in the glove box and no carry permit could find themselves facing felony charges after crossing into VA or SC where permits are required. A simple class held over a weekend (like hunter safety) a piece of paper and that 18 year old would have reciprocity, Go hunting without a permit and see what happens to your weapon if caught. Tell the Game Warden he can’t take your gun because you have a right to keep and bear arms.
