Concealed Permit Requirements

[AK103K]

I also think that gun handling and marksmanship should be a required course in high school, along with math, English and history.

Well, they were all once offered. I'm beginning to think none of them are these days.

No one....

RKBA does not mean RKBA with a permit.

What does the Second Amendment say, again?


I voted for no permit. It has certainly not hurt anything in VT, which has had it for many years, or AK, which recently adopted it. I am referring to an ideal situation, not (unfortunately) the reality on the ground.

Washington state has no class or test required and that is how it should be.
There is no test required to exercise any other constitutional right.
Who would you have making the decision about who qualifies and who doesn't?
Sara Brady, Pelosi, Obama?

Somebody around here who's fairly wise once opined that every adult should be required to present their rifle for inspection at the polling place, in good working order, and show that they owned at least 'x' number of rounds of ammunition for it before being admitted to the voting booth to vote.

I'd add a target shooting portion. Can't hit the target? Go and practice; you'll be able to vote in the next election, after you've shown that you're able to help defend your community and your country. Handicapped shooters/voters may use crew served weapons or demonstrate that they can properly call in an air strike.

I see two different questions in this one this poll. The first being "Should you have a permit to carry?" and the second being "What kind of training should you have in order to carry?".

I think that we all should have the ability to carry, either concealed or open, without a permit so long as you can legally own firearms. Now, do I think there are some people that need training? Of course I do. If I had my way, I'd be training once or twice a year at a minimum.

as has been said, the person you should really be afraid of carrying a gun, doesnt care if he is supposed to have a permit or not. I felt questionable about a few of the people in my CCW class, but we all passed the same test, shot the same target and did the background check; so who am I to judge.
