re: #70 Political Atheist

And my point is it takes a lot of training. Yes more than most get. Something I advocated for from long before I typed a single word here. My training says -From what I saw the thing to do there was drop and hide not confront. Too many people.

I’m assuming the information in the program is correct, and that the brief course that these students are given is more training than most states require for CCW. That is really fucking scary. I guess I’m naive, but I’d been reassured by ‘reasonable’ gun people I know that gun regulations were at least reasonable in this country. I see I’ve been really misinformed. There is no way that we should allow people to carry concealed weapons without extensive and ongoing training and evaluation. At best, if we don’t, we’re stroking people’s vanity. At worst, we’re getting more people killed.
