When it comes to gun ownership, Aqil Qadir knows exactly what he’s talking about.
He’s a former New York police officer, an NRA-certified firearms instructor and heads his own self-defense training company.
But despite taking pride in being able to take people through Tennessee’s handgun carry permit course, he’s not upset to see the classroom requirement eliminated.
“The handgun permit class was never adequate training anyway,” he says. “And anybody who does this for a living will tell you that.” |

Until the Overton Window on police's perception of blacks and guns shifts in a positive direction, this is an unfortunate but critical necessity.
I applaud their approach, and sincerely hope that it gains continued success. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
