I agree...if you want a concealed carry weapon you must have training....
Just think of all of the hours of training that criminals go though to carry their guns. Its mind blowing.
Dummies with guns get caught every day. You don't hear about the screw ups because they really don't make the news unless they are really stupid. the difference is when a criminal screws up and shoots an innocent victim or fucks up things for the police with their bumbling we attribute that to their actions. Again. look at zimmerman. had he done the right thing with his gun we would have never known about him even if a fight occurred. Because he went in there and shot an unarmed person we heard about it. In all honesty i do not think his motives were evil at all. He just wanted to protect his neighborhood, and he was not there to shoot a black kid. If he was a criminal our opinion of him would not change, but because he started off as a person doing good we see where things go wrong.
If zimmerman was getting his head pummeled by some huge kid who jumped him...and shot back in self defense... he did the right thing.
The point IS.... criminals don't have training or a license..and they carry guns. Anyone who wants to carry a gun should have the ability to do so with mandatory training to carry a gun. In TX if you want to conceal carry... you have to go to training, pass and be licensed to carry.
Correct and most all duck and shoot sideways.
