Since we cannot disarm the criminals, I believe that trained, vetted, honest people deserve the opportunity to protect themselves. I did not feel burdened that, at 16 hours, Illinois requires the most concealed carry training of any state. I am appalled that Missouri does not even require a permit.
I think applicants should have to go through the“shoot-don’t shoot” interactive video simulations used by police. I’m a veteran of several such sessions that taught me more about use of deadly force than any 100 hours in a classroom. |

| If we also require 16 hours of intensive training(that you have to PAY for) on the Constitution and Bill of Rights before exercising the RIGHT to vote, maybe I'd be OK with 16 paid hours of firearms instruction before I exercise my RIGHT to carry a gun ! |

TO REMEMBER |
| Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. — Ronald Reagan |
