Now that I have come to a new base with better internet I was able to go to a couple other gun sites and read and catch up so to speak. What I found both shocked and just plain scared me.
On one of the forums related to defensive carry there was topic after topic of CCW holders who were genuinely worried about AD/ND by carrying a round in the chamber or their semi auto pistol so they carry with a mag in and no round in the chamber thinking that they will have time and mindset to draw, chamber a round and hit their target before they are killed themselves. WTF? Have we degraded that much as a gun community?
The general idea that one topic pointed out is that it is ok that a person buy a gun, get a permit, strap on the gun and carry it with no further training because it is a constitutional right to carry and the government should not dictate that you have any further training beyond the CCW course. Some people should not use a fork much less a firearm. Guys I am a firm believer in the constitution and have defended it and will continue to defend it with my dying breath but are we as a society actually down to this horseshit level of belief of touchy, feely, dont make someone feel bad even in relation to firearms?
If a person takes on the responsibility to carry a firearm he should either on his own or by mandate be made to get to a certain skill level. If you want to keep a magnum in the cookie jar at home fine but when you leave the house you now run the risk of drawing and firing that weapon in a manner that will injure me or my family.
A teenager driving a car is required to have more training in most cases than someone carrying a weapon does this not bother anyone but me?
Just imagine this mall ninja sitting in Burger King when two gang bangers come up and start messing with him. He is threatened he draws his super blaster magnum, which he did not qualify with when taking his course because it recoiled to much, and hopefully the bad guy does not take it away from him before he cuts loose in a barrage of gunfire not hitting a damn thing because he has not trained with the weapon.
When the smoke clears bad guys have run off and an innocent is wounded you, me or a member of our family but by god he has his 2nd amendment right to carry and the government cannot dictate that he needed training. Have we reached a point in life that common sense is all but lost? Well I have vented enough I may just stay over here where it is simple carry a firearm someone shoots shoot back.
