but if we a taking a no BS, honest look at our country today, what we have is not good enough. The knee jerk reactions of guns are never good and if only everyone was armed are equally false.

Our current CCW hodgepodge is in no way up to the standard this would require. We would need to have such carriers train to a high standard, with recurring qualification tests.

It could be a way for both sides to get what they want. Use current standards to purchase 'old school' and 'traditional hunting firearms. We can decide if their would be a 'personal' ccw at this level. Those who wish to invest the time and effort could become a modern civil militia. By submitting to registration, training and qualification standards, these people would be allowed purchase of 'modern' weapons. CCW in all locations would be allowed. We can also debate if 'militia members' would have open access to purchase Title II and III weaponry.

He had a carry, and even if he was trained, he's a racist vigilante who's too dangerous for a gun leveymg Dec 2012 #14

Is the implication here that anyone with a CCW permit is a racist vigilante? nt Atypical Liberal Dec 2012 #15

The implication is that this armed militia of yours will attract many of them. No thanks. leveymg Dec 2012 #19
