I'd like to know for a fact that the guy/girl standing next to me has shown proficiency in the safe operation of their weapon in order to get their CHL.
Better move out of Texas, then...
Shooting Times and Shotgun News are the only gun mags I know of with a soupcon of substance
I read the article in G&A that is the topic of this. My take on the article was not about gun control, but, about the needs for, or, of regulations concerning the purchase of firearms and licensing of Concealed Carry Permits. Though I don't necessarily agree with all of the article, some of it is quite sound. Such as, paraphrasing here, you wouldn't want a bunch of people driving off a new/used car lots without the minimum requirements having been met for a drivers license. I feel the same way about CCW. I'd like to know for a fact that the guy/girl standing next to me has shown proficiency in the safe operation of their weapon in order to get their CHL.
My take on it. And I have slept a bit since reading it.
If it were anything like the hunters safety course then no point in goin through the trouble

Well no but only to certain degree. Like I said there were individuals in the class I went to that were completely lost. I'm mean seriously they had no idea about firearms anything and there's no doubt in my mind that there are similar individuals that go to the CC course either. Which is my whole point, I'd rather know that you had to at least demonstrate a minimum level of competence in the use of a firearm to carry it next to my family and myself than not knowing you're just some knot head who learned about firearms by playing Call Of Duty on your PS3 all day. Believe me, there're plenty of them out there....
There are states that require no course, no test, no instruction, no nothing? Any legal resident can just carry a firearm around? Simply out of curiosity which states are they?
I'm speaking of concealed or open hand gun carry only. And not that I'm completely against Joe Blow carrying his .45 without any type of documentation. The issue I can see is maybe Joe Blow has never had any experience with a firearm and goes out and buys one because his neighbor has a bad a$$ looking 1911, so he decides he wants to carry around one to. Simply look at the "tacticool" explosion that has taken place over the last few years.
Not to argue your point as it is valid, "you can't fix stupid" and maybe you're correct in stating that it provides me a false sense of security. However, I still believe that there are numerous people that go into a firearm course, whatever it may be for and come out with a better understanding and a better appreciation for the use and responsibility that comes with firearm ownership.
