I have a ccw and had to have 8 hours of initial training, which required a shooting session. I have 4 hours of recert training every 2 years and it has a shooting session.

I wish every gun owner had this training, but I don’t want gov’t to require it. I also don’t like the fact that we even need permits and licenses to exercise our 2A rights.

In PA there is no training required, you must have no felony conviction and be mentally stable, pay the $20 {I think it's still $20} get your PICTURE ID and you can carry.

In the county where I live, the sheriff is very gun friendly and no one I know {without a felony conviction} has ever had a problem in getting a permit.

There is also an obscure law in PA that allows open carry, but it is not very well known by the police and they can cause you a lot of grief.

The PA law is designed so that any law abiding citizen that wants to carry concealed, can, and easily get a permit.

Since there is no way to prevent outlaws from carrying, the best we can do is arm ourselves and be trained, willing and vigilant.

I took my wife to a CC class in Texas. They required students to fire a Semi-Auto and an instructor loaned her a 9mm.

It was a 10 hour course and at least 4 hours took place on the range. We only had 6 students and the range time would have likely taken longer if we had more.

The thing that this BEM, James Causey, doesn't get is that YOU DO NOT NEED TO TAKE ANY SORT OF A TRAINING CLASS TO GET A DRIVERS LICENSE!!!!! You take a test, and if you pass, you get your license.

This guy is a classic example of a Booger Eating Moron (TM).

Imagine sitting through a two-hour driving course without spending any time behind the wheel.

Imagine allowing recent college graduates to become "journalists" with no license or permit at all!
