Well I know my line of thinking is too extreme for a lot of the people here. I think EVERYONE should have firearms training... proof of that training if they are going to carry... and I think that training should start in the schools from a very young age starting with the Eddie the Eagle program. Math, science, history, firearms... it should be standard coursework. Why do you guys know that 2+2=4? Because you learned it in school. Why can't people learn that all guns are loaded, keep the finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot, how to properly handle, shoot, manipulate, store, work on, fix, troubleshoot, marksmanship fundamentals, advanced marksmanship, etc... in our schools and universities? If you make firearms training part of the curriculum, you won't have people whining about distance, price, vacation days, no Internet, etc...
Yes I think ALL people should be trained with firearms. Yes I think it should start when they are young and remain a part of the offered curriculum all the way through college. Extreme? Yea... so what!
If you have people learning about and getting trained with firearms at a young age... then maybe there wouldn't be so much fear and ignorance surrounding firearms when people get older. I was listening to a professor on the radio the other day talking about a safety course that he had to take at the university and when they were passing around ammo... some of the other faculty didn't want to even touch it without a tissue!!! Ignorance! Ignorance and irrational fear come from a lack of training and familiarity. Lets get that out of people at a young age before they are too far down the rabbit hole!
