Ok maybe I have a different view in the idea of Certification and taking a class and what that should allow one to be able do. Also i was not in the original post discussing the Constitutional right to carry a gun, if I wanted to post about that it would be a thread titled "Sign Here to Repeal the 1934 NFA and 1986 Full-Auto Ban."
When I look at someone as having "taken a class," I consider my course of study in college. Having 1 semester of drafting does not make me a drafter, it introduces me to the fundamentals, there is much more experience required to gain an NCA Accredited degree in Drafting than simply taking a course. A business would not also hire me as a draftsman with only a semester of training.
What i was originally posting is come from the same thought process. While its possible to learn fundamentals of a skill and gain some minimal proficiency in say 24 hours of concentrated instruction and practice. That isn't really enough training to make you ready to go out into the world and practice it.
Anyway that's where I was coming from, I'm not trying to upset people. Also the reason I make a big deal about female+equalizer statements is that I am a small male individual. It may be a personal issue but when I hear those statements I consider that they are implying that because I am male, then therefore I am big and strong which is not the case.
