Yep, but doesn't make it "right." Evidence of training on proper use and handling/storage of a weapon should be required before purchase. Cars are often cited here as "lethal weapons." OK, you don't get to drive a car without a license requiring evidence of appropriate training.This is the case in the majority of the states.
We previously had to have such training to carry concealed. I had no problem at all with that as long as it was a "shall issue" policy rather than a "may issue" policy. You shouldn't be subject to the whim of local officials.Yep, but doesn't make it "right." Evidence of training on proper use and handling/storage of a weapon should be required before purchase.

Or you don't do that in schools and do it later on, just like driving a car? If you want to buy a gun at 18, you need to do a course beforehand?Of course, you could solve the proper use/handling/safety problem by mandating a gun safety course in schools
I have no problem with the "shall issue" approach. If the training does nothing more than save one 8 yr old kid from shooting his 5 year old brother with a loaded gun carelessly left unsecured by a parent, it's worth it. If a purchaser refuses basic instruction, do we really want that person having a concealed lethal weapon?We previously had to have such training to carry concealed.

But that was to carry, not purchase. Driving is a privilege, whereas gun ownership is a right. Of course, you could solve the proper use/handling/safety problem by mandating a gun safety course in schools. Good luck with that.
Maybe it opened at 8 or 8:30? What are "bankers hours" these days?If he was an ex-employee of the bank, how did he get in before it opened??
If you teach age appropriate gun safety even starting early, you take away the curiosity factor that leads to accidental shootings. We've had an M1 Garand on display for decades and never once did the kids think to try to take it out and mess with it. They got that healthy respect for a gun's power around age 8 with one trip to the range.Or you don't do that in schools and do it later on, just like driving a car?

As long as people don't put a gun into a childs hand... I'm in favor of a safety course if people want to desperately hold on to guns, but age is something that should be talked about in regards to these courses.If you teach age appropriate gun safety even starting early, you take away the curiosity factor that leads to accidental shootings.

You don't need a course in Florida, but you used to for a concealed carry license. I can't speak to other states.
There is no way the anti-gun lobby would allow training in schools, if for no other reason than because the NRA is the premier safety training organization.I have no problem with the "shall issue" approach.

As for privilege vs right, irresponsible gun ownership/ignorance shouldn't be a "right.' Basic gun safety and training don't seem to me "a bridge too far." Many of my trainers over the years were dyed-in-the-wool NRA members/2A believers yet also very strong proponents of training.
Driving a car is not a right, it’s a privilege. Keeping and bearing arms is a right. Any law that hinders, delays, or prevents you from getting said firearm, is unconstitutional and should be thrown out. Period.Yep, but doesn't make it "right."

Has nothing to do with the NRA. Yes they hate them, but they’re merely the scapegoat bc of what they stand for. Remember an NRA member has never committed a mass shooting.There is no way the anti-gun lobby would allow training in schools, if for no other reason than because the NRA is the premier safety training organization.
The focus is always on ways to prevent people from having guns, not ways to make them safer.

Wasn't an Ex employee yet. He found out he was about to be fired.If he was an ex-employee of the bank, how did he get in before it opened??
Before a certain side took over the school system in this country. Shooters safety was taught in school to children.I have no problem with the "shall issue" approach.

I'm all for more than less training and education, whatever the "right" or policy.Before a certain side took over the school system in this country. Shooters safety was taught in school to children.
Guess what??? There was almost no shootings in school at that time.
Training is not required for a God given right. Should people be required to take classes before using the first amendment?
Well that goes against the constitution. Im all for the constitution and the individual freedoms it guarantees.I'm all for more than less training and education, whatever the "right" or policy.
