[QUOTE="shooterdave, post: 1470521, member: 3128"] If you are going to carry in the public around other citizens? Yes. When you go into the public with a weapon, you have a moral obligation to at least know how to operate the weapon properly and safely. The firearms training classes set up for CCW do not require you to shoot proficient. Ie.. Meet a minimum score requirement. They are set up so that a student only has to show knowledge of the firearm and how to safely operate it, unload, reload, etc. Anyone who thinks that is a bad idea needs to go to a class and see just how gun-dumb some of these people are. A little training can't hurt them. Remember, the point of the training is safety. This doesn't infringe on a persons ability to carry. In this case, the key word to focus on isn't "right" or "privilege"' it is responsibility. [/QUOTE]
