A recent news article got me thinking about places like Kennesaw, GA, GEUDA SPRINGS, Kan, and Virgin, Utah where there is "required ownership of and safety training for" firearms and unless you meet some of the exemptions (convicted felon, conscientious objector, financially unable to comply, etc.) you can face a (small) fine for noncompliance.
A few of the notions that passed through my (admittedly pro RKBA) mind were...
Pro
-Mandatory safety training makes us ALL safer.
-Hands on experience would dispell a lot of myths regarding firearms and firearm ownership.
-
Con
-Imposition on individual freedom?
-Cost involved
-Time involved (both for citizens and for "enforcement"?
anyone care to help me flesh these ideas out a bit?
