Historically we've seen untrained criminals have a lot of FAILS with firearms... One robbery victim survived due to the criminal loading the wrong cartridge in his revolver. Other criminals have improved the world with self-inflicted "catastrophic castration" tucking their gun into the front of their pants, or criminals shooting each other in force-on-force robbery practice. You can't make this stuff up!

However I worked with them and made them able to pass the test, typically with a .22 instead of their Glock 42 or S&W Snubby. The requirements from the state were met and recommendations made to become more more proficient by getting training.

My opinion, we need Constitutional Carry now. People need to be responsible gun owners. That's it. We also need enhanced carry like Mississippi where those of us with additional training can carry just like law enforcement- EVERYWHERE.
