Two points:
1) The "notifying an officer" argument is bogus. Criminals act outside the law and will not so notify, regardless. Eliminating this bow-and-scrape would create no additional danger whatsoever.
2) Imposing a training requirement and/or fee equates to a literacy test/poll tax to vote, both of which have been unequivocally declared unconstitutional.
Both of these arguments are based upon a test of rights v. public safety.
"The Second Amendment is no different. Like the First, it is the very product of an interest-balancing by the people . . . [T]he enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table." - D.C. v. Heller (2008) |

TO REMEMBER |
| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
