[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1125059, member: 239"] I too support training. I saw much of what Michael referred to in his post about what he'd seen at various CCW classes at the class I attended. For about a week after I took the class I was convinced training to carry or even buy a gun should be mandatory. That feeling wore off though. The problem with mandatory training is who gets to decide what training. Who decides what it takes to pass the training? Who gets to decide who even qualifies to receive the training. The government is who. Poll taxes and literacy tests to vote were ruled unconstitutional for almost the same reasons mentioned above. Most states had one or the other, some both. They were designed to make it so minorities, blacks in particular, didn't get to vote. It is not that great of a logical leap to see the same thing happening with firearms if government mandates that training become the law of the land. And that truly is scary. Those who think training is a good idea have nothing but good and practical intentions. Unfortunately the old saying that "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" is pretty hard to dispute.
