It never ceases to amaze me how many GUN people are FOR gun control.
No wonder it’s been so easy to TAKE our gun rights away.

How many people have been accidentally killed or shot by CCWers in Colorado?
Until that number is greater than zero I don't think there should be any required training.
I think many of you are taking what i said to a whole new level.... Lets say for instance that you are totally ignorant to firearms. You find out, "hey, its my right to carry a firearm concealed, if i want to!" and immediately begin researching a class. You find a class and take it, in its entirety... 3 hours. At the end of this three hours, you find yourself in not much better state than you were 3 hours prior, and not sure you want to take on the responsibility.Quote:

Now which one of those people would you rather see emerge from a class?
The masses say.... "well, the latter of course, but who are you to say it should be required?" :roll:
Thats ok, some people never come around.....
Stick to supporting the pot amendment, we don't need your help in the firearms arena.Quote:

Youre right... maybe you dont.... but judging by the looks of the class i was in, there are far more of the other type (un-educated firearms owners) in the population, that DO need "my help".Quote:

I'm a bit dissappointed in the amount of training thats required for you to be legally running around with a firearm concealed.
Actually in Colorado, there are three circumstances where you can carry concealed and there is no training or permit required.Quote:

I do not advocate any mandatory training, even if it were available free of charge. Mandatory training infringes on your rights.
How simple can I make it?
No mandatory training, no permit, for open or concealed carry.
:mrgreen: Yeah buddy. Karl.
