MrObious,I respect your opinion.But if you are going to sit there and tell me that there aren't any folks you know that have NO business owning,handling a firearm,I have to say bull.I'm not trying to decide anything.Ijust think they could fine tune the cc class.Make it pass or fail.Hell,there should be a pass or fail test for gun ownership period.I'm not talking rocket science either.How about simple safety rules and some common sense questions and bam,your good for life,just like hunter safety card.Or if they fail,maybe they have to pay for another class and try again.You've never been to the range and seen the typeI'm speaking of?Be honest.
My child is a student at the university and we received a call from the Buckeye Emergency Alert System at 4:37 am this morning alerting us of the shooting. For being one of the largest schools in the nation, they have their act together when it comes to safety and concern for it's students.
John, the King of England also thought that the peons in America were too stupid to have individual Freedom. You cannot decide who gets to exercise their rights that way. Freedom has risks, but they are worth it.
