The only thing that got fixed was a mindset that is out of touch with the real world!
What kind of holster do I use for a 2 pound piece of marble?
NH is the last holdout to join the 21st Century. The State and it's backward views, it's primary, and it's motto is irrelevant in todays world!! Now that we have discounted NH as having any real impact on anything important, let's go back to the OP about mandatory CC training.
Does anyone feel it's necessary and appropriate for Law Enforcement officers to receive some basic training in the handling and usage of their firearms, as well as some knowledge regarding when deadly force may be considered justified, before they're allowed to go out and among the general population in an armed capacity?
Or, is the fact that they're considered normal law-abiding citizens when they're hired sufficient to send them out in an armed capacity amongst all of us, without any specific training?
Training, or just hand them a firearm and let them 'act responsibly', based upon their life experience and 'common sense'?
Apple and oranges
LEO is paid to actively engage, he is representing the local/state/federal government.
If a CCW gave you powers of arrest and to actively seek out felons I would agree with you.
Agreed....
Might as well put it to rest before it gets stale.
Im glad you all see it my way. No need to clutter up the thread with paens to my genius and praises of thanks for showing you the WAY, pms are acceptable.

WildAlaska... I must say when you stir the $hit, You stir it well! Thanks for a good thread. Made everyone think if only a little.
I can agree with that if you put it in the school curriculum. Now get to work on it.Mandatory training can turn us from an anit gun culture to the opposite.
LOL...ya didnt read it carefully not the context..
But regardless, would ACCIDENTAL shooting stats be relevant?
LOL...ya kill me.
