Saw this today and I agree with it. Would you want every Tom, Dick, and Harriet carrying guns dreaming of being Dirty Harry without being properly trained?

So long as that Tom, Dick, and Harry realize every one carries as well.
And the one with the better training has the greater chance of survival.

Forget the threat of an overreaching government. I'm afraid of overreaching vigilantes!

If you believe your fears ,get CCW training and find out for your self what is entailed.
Your not changing your religion, your simply learning something.
I f you don't want to train with a fire arm, train with a BB or air soft gun the principles are the same.

This is another problem: people with concealed carry are not properly trained and trigger happy.

That's what happens when you run with a firearm to a scene of bloody havoc. In the chaos and pressure of the moment, you can shoot the wrong person. Or, by drawing your weapon, you can become the wrong person—a hero mistaken for a second gunman by another would-be hero with a gun. Bang, you're dead. Or worse, bang bang bang bang bang: a firefight among several armed, confused, and innocent people in a crowd. It happens even among trained soldiers. Among civilians, the risk is that much greater.

Trying to be the good guy with a gun can get you shot by the police.

Quote:
“You put more guns on the street expect more shootings,” McCarthy said. “I don’t care if they’re licensed legal firearms, people who are not highly trained… putting guns in their hands is a recipe for disaster. So I’ll train our officers that there is a concealed carry law, but when somebody turns with a firearm in their hand the officer does not have an obligation to wait to get shot to return fire and we’re going to have tragedies as a result of that. I’m telling you right up front.”
