training. My state requires a day long course that includes both classroom and range time with the gun the they intend to carry.

A few years ago, my father and my Iraq war veteran nephew took the class together.

Much of the class was about the world of shit the CCW holder would be in if they ever pulled their weapon even without firing it.

I know that blood is not flowing in the streets because of legal conceal carry. I believe that it should take a bit of effort to legally carry a concealed weapon.

They should also make the effort to go to the polls on election day or to choose to vote by absentee ballot.)
