MI: Editorial: Keep safety course rule for gun permits

Rules to better ensure gun safety do not threaten the Second Amendment. Michigan has reasonable regulations in place to make sure those who are awarded concealed carry permits have a passing understanding of how to handle a handgun, and a familiarity with the state’s firearms laws.

Those rules should remain in place.

Republicans in the state Legislature want to scrap the training requirement of the CCW law, allowing those who want to carry a concealed weapon to do so without demonstrating a competency in the safe workings of a pistol or revolver.

That would be little different than dumping the test required before a driver’s license is issued. Both work to protect the operator and the public.

There should be NO permit...Driving a car is NOT a right enumerated in the constitution! Owning a firearm, and carrying it, is a right enumerated in the constitution!!!!

No. Is there a "safety course" for voting?

No? Then there can't be one for bearing arms.

Maybe we should go back to testing competency before we let people vote too. They wouldn't like that much - half the country can't name their own representatives !
