Two of my sons went with me to permit class. They were under 21 and could not get a permit. One remarked to the other, "I didn't learn anything here that I didn't learn in Boy Scouts." And he's right, if yiu have a lick of common sense, there isn't much to learn in the permit course.
My oldest maybe still has the certificate, but he hasn't taken off work a day in 7 years, to go through the fingerprinting, filling out the application and sending $117 off to the state. Now he'll be able to carry without taking time off work.
He's had handguns since he was 18. He has had them at work, at home, or in his car. Not to mention handling multiple handguns as he has taken them out of gloveboxes to change cabin air filters for customers.
What exactly is the fear that he may "feel the need" to carry at some point now that's it's legal? He hasn't shot anyone yet. Why would he start?
Hey that's great. Do you think everyone has common sense enough to know what it is they don't know? Do you think everyone has a father who knows about guns and is willing to teach them?
Some of you are taking this very personally. It's not about you. It's about the general public, who let's be honest, tend not to know very much about guns at all.
