Require more training for CCW

[68Charger]

"Elitist bovine scat"? I don't need empirical data. I see these people every single day at work. Try to help them pick out guns. Help them choose a holster. Watch them shoot on the range- and when the opportunity is there, sometimes try to give them some help and/or coaching. Encourage them to get more training. Elitist bovine scat my ass. Current training requirements to get a CCW are woefully inadequate. Imho if you don't see this you have your head in the sand.

The way I see this is the classic "you're making me pay for somebody else's inexperience/inability/negligence"... how about we require you to go take a $300 defensive driver's course because I saw one of your neighbors driving recklessly?

I understand the concern, but still have a problem with mandatory training meant for the lowest common denominator. Such mandatory training could be a total waste of time for some, and those funds could be better spent on a more advanced course.

ETA: I did get something out of my original CCW course, because I didn't choose the cheapest/simplest one I could find... I expended 250-300 rounds in that course, and got some very good suggestions from the instructor- I already had lots of experience with rifles & shotgun, but was fairly new to pistols... so it wasn't a safety issue, but I was more accurate and "smooth" after that course. I also do continued training related to volunteering on a security team at my church.
