"I am the only one in this room who is qualified to handle this pistol.....BANG"
Getting shot in a mandatory class? Wow. And I thought all the Democrat gun control proposals were harsh...
[FONT=&]Even if you can't remember the other rules, what is so difficult about "ALWAYS [STRIKE]treat it like it's loaded[/STRIKE] keep it pointed in a safe direction?"[/FONT]
Who can forget this video?
Yup and the idiot paid the price for his being an idiot.
I do not recall anywhere in my "Instructor" training having to do a "trigger pull test"? Perhaps I missed that part?
I don’t mind the mandatory training. You gotta remember most folks aren’t shooters. Just like getting a DL. A safety class can’t hurt. If you are on this site, you probably are a trained shooter. Just remember a ton of folks get a carry permit and have no firearms experience. Now, what instructor you use, that’s a whole different chat!
I have a problem with the class being mandatory, it's unconstitutional.
I assume people have to pay to take the class and must pass a qualifying exam to get their carry permit.
The government sets the standard for the class (and the price), it's clearly a form of infringement.
What if one day they decide that the class is $5,000 and that to qualify you must hit a one inch target from 50 yards away?
That will keep most people from owning a gun.
They could also decide one day that as a prerequisite for the class you need to take a medical exam (as it is in some countries), to make sure you're not "crazy".
Maybe it could include an eye sight test, keeping even more people from owning a gun.
You can't compare it to getting a DL, owning a firearm is a constitutional right, driving isn't.
Of course people should get training, but when the government decides which kind of mandatory training you need then it becomes dangerous.
And not to mention that usually that mandatory training is crap.Sometimes no training is better than bad training.
"A safety class can't hurt"??? Yes it can, the guy got shot during a safety class! Clearly it can hurt.
The government telling you what training you need in order to exercice your constitutional rights is dangerous.
"shall not be infringed" is pretty clear.
I don't know if I am happier that the French dude understand our Constitution or sadder that so many Americans do not.
UM..... yes it CAN!!!Just like getting a DL. A safety class can’t hurt.
