"...I'd much prefer a looser policy on concealed carry as opposed to deputizing a bunch of people and hoping the command and control disaster you're courting doesn't happen."

Concealed carry in Texas requires a very modest training requirement, Poohbah. The course can be completed in one day.

While I agree that any training requirement for concealed carry is an infringement of the right of self-protection, I'm suprised to see that you share my view.

For individual defense, I want a very loose concealed carry policy. It's generally one's own lookout.

For a paramilitary force with the imprimatur of the goobermint, I want VERY tight training requirements. Some LEOs are already grossly undertrained in critical areas, such as Constitutional rights--do we want to LOWER the overall training level out there, and invite more trouble? Don't we complain enough as it is about goobermint agents going "beyond the beyonds" and violating our rights as they do so?
