I was talking and having a long discussion with my oldest son ( 21) he is about to take his CHL class and was asking about it. He has done his research to know what he needs do and was inquiring why that was all?
The concern he has as do I is , owning a gun does not mean you know how to safely use it anymore then owning a car means you know how to drive. However my son owns a 357 SW, and could conceivably get his CHL and go out in the world and have no idea how to use his gun as safety is not really part of getting CHL. Nor is buying gun make require any thing.
I am not popular with my views to some but I think somehow some way a person needs to be signed off for a CHL from a certified training course in safety as well.
My son is trained but many other may not be, kinda scary to a point. Not saying to change the laws but seems safety should be included in the CHL course allot more then it is.:huh:
