[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 873616, member: 796"] When you are requiring people to buy a state license to exercise a Constitutional right, it is extremely dangerous to require "skill testing" as part of getting that license. [B]Would you like to have to pass all the CLEET qualifications (including physical conditioning) to get a CCL?[/B] Neither would I. There are states that theoretically have CCL license issue procedures, [B]but nobody ever meets the requirements[/B] including retired police officers. However, the politicians always seem to qualify. Couldn't happen here? Don't bet your lunch money.... I am a HUGE advocate of professional handgun training and LOTS of practice. [B]But make that part of a Government controlled test? Absolutely not.[/B]How's this for a better idea: build public ranges in every county and invite NRA and other instructors to conduct classes at the ranges. Having taught both OK and UT concealed carry classes, I think UT has it right.[B] Mandatory classes on safety and the law, but no tests and no firing.[/B]It always frustrates me that people taking the OK class get all wrapped around the axle about the firing and don't listen to the laws, which is the really important part. And some people think the OK firing is training, which it isn't. Even a basic defense course takes days, not an hour or two. [/QUOTE]
