Show me where in the Constitution it says anything about training, fees, AR's, pistol braces, etc.
You all did take an oath, correct?

Here's Why I Don't Favor Everyone Carrying

Do you drive a car? Is your Doctor licensed? There are all sorts of things that require a license and those are issued by the state. The CCW is a license in most states. However, that said I don't care if the individual has a license. I just want them safe to carry. Just like a Hunter Safety Course. Do you think that is to much to ask?

That sums it up to me.
A couple questions we'll never know the answer to. Like did the pastor try to fire, only to forget to disengage a safety. Did he forget to chamber a round. We don't know what kind of gun the pastor drew.
I suspect, without any proof, he just hesitated to fire. Tragic.
OP
Actually, no - it doesn't.
Yes it does. But let's call it good because we don't agree.

Show me in the Constitution where having a driver license is required. We have laws and that is what makes a civilization. Some laws we agree with and some laws we do not. Where in the Constitution does it call for a CCW?
! took an oath to defend the country against all enemies foreign and domestic. Is there someone here an enemy?

The most recent article I've seen said the pastor proned the guy out, and then was distracted by his wife, which gave Mytrez an opportunity to jump him and take away the gun and shoot him. Another male was there who was armed and elected to hightail it. He was shot while making for his car.
OP
And I'm not really in favor of it.
OP
Again, not what I said. I don't favor everyone carrying.
OP
Presuming to know what another person thinks or wants is fraught with the risk of utterly misunderstanding what was said. I try to stay with what folks say while avoiding extrapolation.
You're correct in believing that we don't agree.

IMHO second guessing the deceased Pastor serves no purpose. He's not here to defend his decision.

When I taught firearms in the Corps, one of the things we taught was not to let them get close to you if you could avoid it. Always keep the individual approximately 3 yards from you. The Pastor let the assailant get to close. The other thing we taught was weapons take aways. If you had a gun on me and touched me with it, I was going to take it. May get wounded (or killed) but at least try. If you do it correctly and are successful the assailant ends up without a weapon and probably some broken fingers.
Forgot to take the safety off? Maybe. Would training have helped maybe, We were trained as the gun came up on target to take the safety off. Since most of the folks I know do not shoot all the time, for home defense I recommend a revolver (no safety to disengage).
Forgot to chamber a round? We were trained to carry Condition One, cocked and locked and when the gun came out of the holster the safety came off. However, for someone that does not use a gun a lot, then a revolver could be the answer. Load all the chambers and then all that has to be done is pull the trigger if needed. No safety to remove or round to chamber in the heat of the moment.

You said you were in favor of some not carrying guns. How is that a misunderstanding?
It's quite clear. I comprehend English just fine. I simply read your statement and have come to correct conclusion that you want to limit gun rights. There's no other way to interpret your statement. None.
If that's not what you meant then retract or change your statement.

Whether or not free non prohibited men and women carry a firearm is their choice to make. I don't really care what anybody believes it thinks about it. That's a pretty high horse to sit on for the "believers" and "thinkers".

Your mechanical reading skills seem fine; comprehension seems off. What people say is what they say.
In court I would object that you're simply being argumentative.

Thank you the right question. I could care less who carries so long as they understand that a firearm is not a magic wand, and that poor judgement on their part one way or the other will have consequences. Don't carry if you don't have the requisite skills and judgement.
