Spending allot of time around a friends gun shop, I see ALLOT of people come in to buy a handgun with the intention of carrying. To be honest, some of these people scare me. They know little about guns and less about gun safety. Others, want to carry for the wrong reasons. ( Read: Can't wait to save a maiden or play James Bond.) Considering one of these hoopleheads might pull his hi cap forty in a crowded mall to thwart the robbery of a snow cone, I want to be sure that he has some basic instruction on firearms safety, liability and control before he pops a cap into an innocent bystander in the background.
Many, including myself ,will argue that CCW is a right. However, I believe with that right comes the responsibility to act appropriately and shoot straight and safely. Lives depend on it.
