At the risk of being severely flamed, I'll say be careful what you wish for baldeagle. I think the same thing can be said for people not familiar with pistols who take a LTC course. Those kinds of people NEED to take a firearms safety course before they go out shooting, not knowing what they are doing.

Part of me thinks it may be a good idea. On the other hand.......well, you know.

Yeah, I know, but these people are licensed by the state. They should have to qualify for safety and accuracy or not be allowed to carry. I understand the 2nd Amendment arguments, but those don't apply to people who are being licensed by the state to perform a specific function. They should have to meet some standards.
