[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 1448603, member: 6281"] Absolutely not. Adding more laws and restrictions is not what I'm looking for here. As it is now, people are allowed to take the 8 hour class and registered for concealed carry. That class is primarily to teach you the laws and responsibility you are taking when doing so. That's fine and as it turns out, some folks take the class and decide they do not want all that responsibility. If OC passed, I don't think anyone who believes they are not ready for THAT responsibility would be carrying just because they could. The state would never fund this (in its current financial conundrum particularly). Most gun people know their own level of competence with a firearm and act responsibly based on that. If they feel they are only comfortable owning a gun to keep at home, that's what they do. Are there people out there that carry concealed and are NOT very competent at the range? Sure. But they also are probably competent to carry responsibly - even if they cant hit there target without emptying the clip. Its legal to drive a car after a certain age and you have to pass a test. Preparing for this test won't teach you how to drive, it will teach you the laws in which you must operate your car. Its up to you to take a defensive driving course and practice your driving skills. OC should be no different. Its up to you to know how to use your weapon and if they want to require you take a test about the laws of doing so, then fine. If OC passed, i dont think anyone who believes they are not ready for THAT responsibility would be carrying just because they could. Ultimately I want to see NO gun laws or restrictions like AZ - other than restrictions against felons. Then if you operate your weapon in a manner irresponsibly, pay the consequences. [/QUOTE]
