I've been thinking alot about the lack of common sense in our society today and although alot of us pro-gun people don't like to budge much and/or reflect on our own ideals. I'm still strongly against the gov. having any records on gun owners and such, but I'm starting to see thinks differently when it comes to concealed weapon permits. When I talk common sense, I'm talking common sense, not what's constitutional or unconstitutional.
I often hear the praises of VT law which allows anyone to carry concealed without a permit. I often hear the complaints of states which require a CHL holder to take a class before issue. I'm all for shall issue state policies and believe self defense is a god given right. The thing is, I think that it makes good sense to make sure the CHL holder knows how to safely operate their firearm, and I believe there should be a live fire proficiency test. I do not feel comfortable that a good percentage of people I meet here in Oregon who carry have never actually fired their gun, mostly women.
I'd like to hear from you guys, but not so much about what's constitutional, rather about what makes good common sense. Would you like to have someone carrying around you who doesn't know what they're doing with a loaded firearm?
