First off, I'd like to disclaimer by saying that my question in no way refers to 2A or how it's interpreted. I'm referring only to carry concealed and really I'm only thinking about the classes I've taken and the people who have attended with me.
I had a guy with a beautiful Springfield 1911 at my CCW class lay his pistol down, barrel facing the RO, action closed. RO said (I'm paraphrasing as it's been awhile), 'This is not a cleared weapon. Do not point an uncleared weapon at me.' He dropped the mag, locked the slide back, unlocked the cable (store enforced all non-CCW weapons were cleared and cable locked upon entry) and handed weapon back to individual. Individual then inserted empty mag and closed the slide. RO went nuts.
This started me thinking about the performance of the CCW desirees as I went through the class....many couldn't hit the broad side of the barn.
I'm of the opinion that anyone who shows up to a CCW class should be proficient in their weapon they are qualifying with. You don't have to be Charles Bronson, but I'd expect they know how their weapon works and how the hell to hit a target from 7 yards.
Out of curiosity....are ya'll in favor or opposed to generally tighter proficiency tests for CCW?
