I am concerned a little bit about concealed carry without training in safety, responsibility, liability , legal entanglements and the many effects of even a lawful shooting. That training should be required and provided at no expense to each firearm owner. I know that a response to this post is going to be harsh. I was 12 when I lost a friend to accidental discharge, have friends who shot the tranny of their Subaru with a holstered glock, another shot their coffee table (again a glock). I have saw a man at at a local restaurant take his pistol out of his waistband and set it on the table and kind of covered it with his cap! NEXT to the aisle! Who has not seen someone with open carry, do something unsafe with a firearm? Open carry allows us to at a minimum avoid armed people who act carelessly.
OKAY I've zipped up my flak jacket and bunkered up! Let the verbal assaults begin
I agree if you assume the responsibility of carrying a gun you should be versed on the laws. I DO NOT however believe it should be a condition mandated by the state with a fee (tax) attached to it to exercise a constitutionally guaranteed right.
All of that should be up to the individual; it used to be called personal responsibility.
