Finally took my concealed carry class. It was very interesting, and the time flew by. I passed, so now I need to go to the county police and get that process rolling.
Used a Sig P239 and a S&W 686 Plus for the qualifying portion. Connected a lot of smaller holes to make one big hole. One outlier in the 7 ring - caused by me flinching when the instructor came over and suggested I lean forward a bit more.
Anyway, all the time I'm sitting in class I'm learning about where I CAN'T go with a concealed weapon. There were so many instances where I felt like my right to defend myself or my family was being infringed upon. There were times when I thought, "Is it worth it? I mean, how many times am I going to be able to actually carry my handgun where I want to go?"
This country has done such a great job at demonizing guns by sensationalizing tragedies, by depicting them as weapons of evil, etc. in movies...
I haven't spent too much time trying to organize all the thoughts that went through my head during the class, but I feel as though one thought that came through strongly was this, "I feel as though my rights are being terribly restricted."
