Civilians aren't trained enough ... soldiers aren't trained enough ... Civilian training is different from soldier training ...

Bullshit. All of it is bullshit.

ANYONE can safely carry a firearm by following 4 rules that I imagine the average 5 year old child of any one of our members here can probably quote from memory.

Carrying a gun is not rocket science, you don't need to be a highly trained operator to do it and do it safely. If you have an IQ over 75 you can safely put a gun in a holster and leave it the hell alone unless and until you need it.

Stop over complicating this.

  1. Treat all guns as though they are loaded.
  2. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to kill or destroy.
  3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you're ready to fire.
  4. Know your target and what's behind it.


Seriously, THAT IS ALL that is needed to safely carry a gun. Period.

Carrying a gun is a right, not a privilege and you don't demand expert level training to exercise a right.
