Philosophical question about CCW

[Burk Cornelius]

I'm all for repercussions to practicing your right rather than limiting the "right" into a privilege in the first place. Like speech, you are "free" to yell "bomb" or "fire" in a crowded theater, but there can be (and are in that case) consequences to such action. You should be free to bear arms however, whenever, and wherever you please, (2A here), but if you harm others due to negligence on your part, then there should be consequences.

Agree

As for training... well, like many things currently... if there were more consequences for being stupid / untrained and harming others, then there would be more incentive to train. But I absolutely DO NOT WANT to have .gov mandated training by "certified" professionals.

Agree ALOT

I don't think it's necessary to throw more training requirements at CC holders. Does it really require that much training to hit someone at self-defense distances? With that said, I'm not so sure how many CC holders understand what constitutes the use of lethal force. Recently I bought some Fox pepper spray for those situations that are in the "Grey area."
