...for me to agree with this post more than I already do.
I've
been carrying a pistol for most of my adult life. I have lived in three
states during that time, one of which had a mandatory training class and qualification
course (TN) and two which did not (GA and IN). I have not observed any
noticeable difference in the quality of shooting ability, legal
knowledge, or safe gun handling among the populations of the three
states.
Arguing
that there will be blood in the streets if there is no mandatory
training is not one bit different, philosophically speaking, than those
who say there will be shootouts over parking spaces if we let people
carry guns at all. The "blood in the streets" keeps un-happening.
