| Until gun safety training is in place and much of the population has a basic knowledge of safety, this sunday school teaching, IDPA shooting, gun toting conservative, opposes constitutional carry in our state. |

The minimal training of most states to get a concealed carry license is useless.
They turn out a bunch of people who only "think" they are trained, and it is more of a hassle than it is useful.
Why continue the charade? Criminals do not have to go to any class's and then pay a fee to the state to get it's permission to exercise a right. They just steal a gun and then use it.
Responsible citizens are not the cause of crime, but arming them is the best bet to reduce it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
