requiring a shooting test for CCW is better than nothing.
Do you also think literacy and spelling tests should be required to exercise freedom of speech?

In Colorado, as stated before, I can legally open carry W/out a permit, class , background check or training. To take it a step further I can buy the gun in a private sale ( away from a gun show) W/out any paper work or background check at all.
Mike the Wolf, I am sorry people here have the habbit of twisting things around like so...Do you also think literacy and spelling tests should be required to exercise freedom of speech?
Being the context, placement, and relevance of this question are completely unrelated to what we're talking about, I think answering would be a complete waste of time.Do you also think literacy and spelling tests should be required to exercise freedom of speech?
literacy and spelling tests failed won't cause someone else's life to be in danger (just hope they aren't writing manuals for guns). But I guess we want to continue harping on it being a right, not the issue of safety.
Errors in medication orders at hospitals are often the result of misspelled words. These have resulted in many deaths over the years.
Where's your evidence of this? And this is why hospital manuals go through spell check and inspection by others.
I know you are just a troll trying to stir things up around here, but you aren't doing a very good job. The better trolls are all able to argue points fairly well. Its what makes them entertaining. You don't seem to be able to do that.

A shooting test failed won't necessarily cause somebody's life to be in danger either. People who carry sidearms do not need to use them on a regular basis. Shall we require safety tests before allowing someone to own a fire extinguisher? After all, they can be deadly if misused. How about kitchen knifes?
Zammy,
Sorry I called you a troll. You are right, it was not nice of me to call you that.

Yes carrying is a right, but it carries with it a responsibility; the person receiving it needs to practice enough they are competent in their own abilities. Anyone who can shoot well at the range who doesn't know how to deal with the adrenline won't shoot as well without lots of practice in a self defense situation
I would not regulate open carry.
I would regulate the private sale of guns, since it makes it even easier for criminals to purchase firearms.
not unreasonable to want people who carry to shoot well, and I certainly don't expect navy seal level shots... but at least a reasonable (standard half sized silhoutte) target at say... 10 yards.
