got to remember that the training that would be issued for free will be next to nothing. Ultimately its the users responsibility to seek true professional (multi-day) training to become somewhat decent at weapon handling and manipulations.

As much as i would love to say that all GFL/CCW holders should attend a 3day course that would be unconstitutional. Thankfully most idiots with guns end up shooting themselves on accident, in the safety of their own home or car while holstering or manipulating. I think a required 4-6 hour gun saftey class could be good, replaceable of course by a list of nationally approved trainers.

Oh and you dont like the notion of people playing wild west in public? Wake up man, every where you go there a people standing next to you with guns on them. And yet you never hear of 'billy joe normal' playing wild west in public.

Whats fun is trying to figure out who is carrying around you, now thats tricky.
