Do you oppose Senate Bill 13-195? If so, why?

I will have to respectfully disagree with this statement. I know more than one CCW holder who have had a negligent discharge; one of them injured himself in the process. I don't know if more or better training would have prevented these incidents but they are a clear indicator that, when handling firearms, a mistake on our part can have serious consequences.

I agree 100% and I wish that most gun owners would understand the value of proper training which I don't believe that anyone can get from an on-line class.

How do you feel about the government mandating the consumption of chocolate? [Coffee]

Since a class is already required, I would prefer it to be an interactive class to be able to address questions and allow the instructor to assess the student. Not that I have heard of it happening but an instructor could decline to give someone their certificate.

I don't believe the founding fathers cared if a weapon was carried concealed or openly. They said that your right to be armed shall not be infringed. That includes in public...concealed or openly.

If the requirement must exist, I prefer that it be as accessible and inexpensive as possible. The requirement for training, background check etc. is simply a coat tax. I can carry my handgun openly but if I put my coat over it, I must pay a fee/tax.

I believe that anyone willing to carry a firearm is best off taking a thorough training class but certainly do not feel it is a requirement.

Agree completely.

re open carry: Now that Deadly Weapon has been redefined, be vary careful how you answer the cop that comes to see you after the MWAG call. You might be disturbing the peace.
