Jesus, people. The position many of you take is absurd. You want insane people, violent criminals, and convicted felons to be packing concealed weapons. You want kids to be packing concealed weapons. No regulations at all. When the kids play cowboys and indians, they should be able to go to the corner, pick up some Sprite and some live ammo for their games. No regulations at all. When a known felon is stopped by the police and he has a pistol in his belt he should be congratulated for exercising his fundamental rights and given a lift or something. No restrictions at all. That a pretty farked up world you want.

The rational discussion is what are society's minimum rules when it comes to instruments of deadly force. The writer of the article thinks a little training is ok. I'm sure most people agree. But to take the position that there should be no restrictions, no regulations, no limitations is beyond reckless.

Notice that I have not advocated gun control.

I never stated my opinion on regulations at all. I just said if someone takes my class, they don't have to be a sharp shot to pass, as long as they are safe.

I haven't seen anyone say anything of the sort that you are now saying. My position is that we already have enough gun laws. We don't need anymore. Especially when the gun laws we have on the books right now largely go unenforced i.e. prosecuting people that lie on the Form 4473 when purchasing a gun through an FFL dealer.

put down the crack pipe...

We already have background checks to weed out known felons and such and we also have an age restriction...no one here said anything about common sense rules...but anything else that would infringe or make harder for a law abiding citizen to obtain or carry a firearm, concealed or otherwise is actually a violation of our 2A Rights...

You are about to get burned with this moronic strawman you labored to build. Hyperbole is a crutch for those too stupid to have a worthy opinion on this topic.

You have to possess a rational mind first and $100 says you are utterly clueless to current Federal and State regulations.

Well you pretty much failed to make any point in that little screed. Let's examine your "little training" requirement. What do you think is an adequate level of training? Do you consider such training a requirement to purchase or possess in the first place or only for CCW? Separate training requirements for rifles vs pistols? Separate training requirements for semi-auto weapons?
