Ok, so why don't you tell us what the accidental discharge rate is in Florida among licensed holders and compare that to a state that requires no permit to carry(I believe that is Vermont of all states)and other states that require no training before obtaining a permit(I believe there are several).
Last I heard accidental shootings were no worse in FL than they are in any other state, in fact I understand that since the CCW was made easier to get in FL(1987 I think)the crime rate has dropped rather dramatically.
So what do you base your hysterical rant about easy to obtain permits being dangerous on? People like you belong at DU because you are certainly no conservative. When I was young, people in my state needed no class to obtain a permit, they could also carry openly. Accidents were no worse among people who carried than they are now. Classes are just another attempt to disarm us by making it more difficult to get a permit. Being required to have a permit is bad enough, having to take a 16 hour class(as is required in CA for example)to obtain one(if you are ever even issued one) is beyond the pale.
I am all for firearms safety but permit classes are an infringement on our rights as are permits themselves.
You don’t even know what you’re talking about. Some of us actually live in RTC states and know what we’re talking about. Don’t annoy us any more. Your ignorance is beyond cure.
All of our rights come from G-d. I don't think the use and safety of firearms is one of them. There are some that think the knowledge
of the use and safety of firearms are inborn.
