I am absolutely disgusted with these people who believe in the second amendment right and then backtrack to make it conditional.

The Constitution does not create a clause "if you know how to safely and properly carry a firearm."

We have a right to keep and BEAR arms.

These nitwits have it completely backwards.

We have a RIGHT to carry firearms unless we prove ourselves reckless and irresponsible by harming others or their property.

This nonsense is being spewed by those who have gone through the process of obtaining a permit and resent others not having to do that, which the Constitution says THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO DO. It's that simple.

I agree with you, FRiend. I do, however, agree with the young lady in the article concerning training. It should absolutely not be an impediment to carrying, but like driving a car, a boat, a motorcycle, or raising a child, a little bit of knowledge goes a long way.

Besides, putting the burden on the carrier is garbage. The old meme of “when guns are outlawed...” goes the same for training. Gangbangers are still going to carry without training, but the people are required to go through it?
