Does a license to carry mean she ever practiced?? Or is it just a license to carry a weapon that anyone can get without any type of a proficiency test.

If only there was some organization that could advocate for ensuring potential and existing gun owners were well trained before being able to purchase firearms instead of pushing must issue laws for concealed carry permits while trying to whittle away at training requirements.

The quality of the comments here are indicative of the intelligence and the civility of the commentators, it's just sad.
Why do people lower themselves to name calling and personal attacks? Why not discuss the topic as intelligent adults and realize every debate has two sides and both are equally legitimate.

This has never been true. This roundly false belief is a recent fabrication and only exists because the right needs to legitimize their anti-social nonsense.

Wanna be kiddie killer gets all triggered when his sick desires are pointed out to him again. You have YET to renounce your sick desire to lob hand grenades blindly into tunnels regardless of who could be in the tunnels.

You sick fuck.

Looks better than most cops.
 
I'm more concerned with what happens when police arrive to an active scenario and don't know who the shooter is when they see others with guns as well. This whole thing seems to be a recipe for disaster.

It's idiotic to think that arming teachers is a good idea. Idiotic.

It's already being done in hundreds of school districts across the country. If a teacher wants to be armed and is willing to undergo a lot of training, then I think we should let them.

And efforts by a lot of other districts came to a screeching halt when insurance companies refused to cover the schools if they were arming teachers.

That to me will be the biggest hurdle in all of this. There are already ample examples of accidental discharges in schools. Without insurance I can't see how this takes hold.

Yet such is the power of the gun lobby over many of our legislators that compels them to support such ridiculous ideas which they defend with even more ridiculous reasons for proposing and advancing policies in this regard.

It's going to get to the point sooner than later where those legislators who staunchly defend the NRA's firearms manufacturers are going to find themselves on the wrong side of the issue and they are going to have to face the fact that any amount of bribe money taken by them from the NRA will not be enough to keep their seats in the House and Senate.

Thanks I hadn't read that. It's the same in a couple more states. There's a bill in the Kansas House right now that, in part, will no longer allow insurance companies to discriminate(their word, not mine) based on concealed carry in the schools.

So much for that small government free market capitalism I guess...

That reasoning doesn’t even make sense. Insurance companies by their very nature evaluate risk based on chosen actions. Any denial of coverage could be viewed as discrimination at that point. I don’t see how they could ever enforce that.

It's not discrimination. They choose to carry guns or not. It's not like any human is born with a gun in their ass that defines who they are as a person. There is no law requiring any citizen to carry a gun, and I promise any such law would be shot down as unconstitutional.

What we have is an insurance company that has access to real, unbiased, data that concerns their own liability and how this disastrous policy would bankrupt them. Free market. This isn't political. It's data-driven decisions. Good luck (Kansas) trying to argue this is "discrimination." Recall that the same type of Kansas yokels that would try to write a nonsense bill to attack these insurance companies would be the same idiots that thought unrestricted supply-side economics were a great idea for Kansas.

You honestly think conservatives believe their own bullshit?? Its a math issue and that is science. You know conservatives hate all that sciency stuff. Conceal carry is not a protected class. Its similar to "no shoes, no shirt, no service"

So regardless of the crime. It's ok to kill someone breaking the law.

So a man driving his family to the Mall gets pulled over for speeding. Officer informs the mans family Sorry he was going 3 mph over. I am going to have to put a bullet in his head

No, but they are subject to arrest, conviction and punishment the law prescribes. Not all crimes carry the death penalty, you may want to look that up sometime.

The police are the enforcement branch of the law, the judicial branch carries out punishment.
 
Surely that was just the target used and she wasn't not training to shoot a perp holding a hostage. Most people can't make that shot, that's why you have sharp shooters.
