I heard on CNN that Glock may join S&W. Now, one condition I read was that a prospective purchaser must be a "certified" shooter.
Could this mean that a lot more people will get a formal training in shooting handguns? Would this not be a good thing?
Would not more people go ahead and get their CCW/CHL as well? After all, in Texas' program you have to prove you know the law and can qualify as an accurate shooter. I think more people would just go ahead and get "the whole deal".
There may be some positive unintended consequences we never thought of. Plus, a lot of folks who in the past "just walked in and bought a gun" would learn what we have been griping about, first-hand. We might get some government-induced converts to our views about intrusiveness!
Points to ponder, Art
