Should trainees have to show method of carry while in the class? I realize there are several methods of carry, hip, ankle pocket, purse, etc, etc. But should we see that everybody has a holster just as we see most (not all) have weapons. So if you bring a weapon, you bring a holster. I know this doesn't stop someone from walking out the door and doing whatever, but at least the instructors know they got the message.
Thoughts from the forum?
Educating people on what is safe or intelligent is fine and I would applaud any efforts made by private citizens or groups to do so.
Suggesting the govt should impose yet MORE restrictions on our rights is a non starter for me. The instructors already have a lot of material to cover during class, they shouldn't have to babysit people on how to carry as well.
If folks want advice from their instructor on the matter, fine. But I don't think the state should add it to the curriculum.
To be completely crass about the matter: perhaps those who choose to do unsafe things with weapons are doing humanity a favor if they damage their ability to pass on their obviously less than stellar genes (as long as no innocent bystanders are hurt in the process, of course).
