The Sad State of Gun Training in America.

I am the proud holder of a Texas Conceal Handgun Permit. I’m also proud to say that I went through a lot of training to qualify for it. I am now capable of defending myself, my loved ones, and my property against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. I am also quite convinced that your results will vary. In other words, the quality, amount, and efficacy of the training you receive in order to qualify for a conceal carry permit in your particular little pied-à-terre may be sensationally wonderful or woefully inadequate. And that’s not a happy thing.

Should Gun Control Advocates Have A Concealed Handgun License?

Let’s say you’re a pro-mass transit environmentalist; you considered automobiles the devil in-car-nate. Chances are you’d have both a theoretic and emperical understanding of how cars work; what they can and can not do. The drawbacks and the advantages. I bet you have a handle on tailpipe pollution regs and which cars are better for long distance trips or commuting. I’ve talked to a lot of people on both sides of the gun control debate. The majority of those who favor restricting Americans’ Second Amendment rights have never touched a gun in their lives. They want NOTHING to do with guns. And so they don’t. Wrong answer. If gun control advocates received the training necessary to receive a concealed handgun license in their home state, they would be better informed. I’m not saying they’d change their position. I AM saying they’d be able to hold a more intelligent, rational and effective conversation.
