It's a multiple-choice poll, so pick whichever one(s) apply. Your answers will remain private.
This began with an off-topic comment on another thread, here. Essentially, the poster there said he advocates training classes for OC.
I'm not so sure I support it even for concealed carry!
Should it ever become mandatory (shudder), I think what I'd rather see is a basic study guide, including key legal references (castle laws, acceptable and unacceptable use of deadly force, prohibitions on types of carry, etc.), followed by a properly-designed test. If you get 80% or greater on the test, carry on. If not, you can retest in two weeks, but if you fail a second time, you have to take the course.
Or not. I was never a very good test-taker, but I doubt anyone here would seriously argue I'm unaware of the laws, poor at firearms safety, or an off-target knucklehead at the range.
What's your opinion?
