A selection process, more training and a chain of supervision of some kind would be needed, though. Without such weeding, training and assumptions of responsibilities, a few oddballs can mess the whole effort up.

You are entitled to your opinion, but wrong IMHO. No process will "weed out" one individual and no organization will take the responsibility. You lack of assurance will not stop me from exercising my right and at this point our gummint recognizeds this fact (for the most part).

Familyop:
My right to keep myself, my family, and any innocent citizen who happens to be near me alive is not subject to some arbitrary “selection process and chain of supervision”.

I carry because it is my right as an American to do so, and will continue to do so until I no longer am physically able to.

Society will ALWAYS have “a few oddballs”. Nothing will ever change that. Part of the idea of carry is to PREVENT the “oddballs” amongst us from going postal and doing damage in the first place.

Sure, agree that there should be (and are) some preconditions in place - not a violent felon, not mentally unstable, etc., and hopefully that is what you are referring to. But to hand over the power to arbitrarily choose who can and can’t defend themselves to is NOT acceptable.
