Good post, but I wasn't sure if you meant to call it a privilege or was that satire?.

Where does anyone get the idea that they have the right to determine whether or not somebody is entitled to protect their self?

The bad guys (criminals and government) have guns and you should too! Know how to use it and know when to use it! If people are not learning this in their concealed handgun courses, then their instructor has failed them.

Re: CHL requirements

I understand where the OP is coming from, but I have to disagree with him. I already feel that having to take a class and pay for a license is an infringement on the Second Amendment. In retrospect, when I lived in Georgia all I had to do was fill out paperwork and submit to a background check; no training or education was offered. I was young then and didn't realize the full capacity of what I was getting in to. I now wish something more had been offered. I know that's a contradiction in statements, but I'm stuck in the middle when it comes to required education on this matter.

There are many people who cannot pay their property taxes, child support, made bad choices in their early years or whatever and now they can't exercise their rights to defend themselves. I understand and support the fact that rules need changing as society evolves, but our right to keep and bear arms shouldn't be infringed as much as it has been. I love my state and we are less strict compared to others when it comes to self defense, but we still have many rules in place that could land a good person behind bars who is simply exercising their constitutional right.

I feel it is my duty to help others and offer continuing education or training for those who need it. If they choose not to do it, then that is their right to do so. If they choose to take further training and receive more education, then I will put my heart and soul into it. All I can do is offer to help.
