I haven't read about the costs one should accrue before they can practice a right? I understand one should train, but with the cost of a good handgun, ammunition, cost of getting a CHL and then, if some here had their way, multiple training events? "Not intending to flame" Should the right of carrying a firearm be for only those who can put out a cost of up to $500 a year, and this after one had to pay a bit over a thousand dollars just to begin the process? If one reads DGU in the news, what was their training like prior to their life saving event? I would venture to say that the vast majority had little to no prior training. Then we go to, what is enough training? How much training must one have prior to being allowed to protect themselves with a firearm? I retired from the Military after several deployments, maybe the bar needs to be set at that level? Or, as shooting at paper isn't enough training, all potential CHL candidates must be IDPA qualified? Maybe a means test? One must accept one's fate, unless you make this much money? I don't know except for one certainty, and that is, I fall fully on the side of Constitutional Carry. We are not there yet and might never get there, but that is what drives my politics. I remember Texas prior to the CHL days, so we have come a long way, due to the efforts of folks like Charles.
