How do you feel about the prerequisites of obtaining a CCW permit
I bring this up because of a recent thread where a poster repeatedly emphasized the need for training before being able to obtain a carry permit.
Yet Vermont(since 1902)and Alaska require no permit of any kind to carry open or concealed and their violent crime rates are in in the bottom 7 of the 50 states.
Texas and New Mexico and many others on the other hand require hours of classroom training and live fire at the range before one can receive their license.
