Opinion: Should states have mandatory training to receive CCW license?

[cmshoot]

Kinda curious what y'all have to say on the matter.

Should states like Georgia require classroom training and/or a pass/fail live-fire test before one is issued their CCW license?

If you're for it, and you don't mind, I'd like to hear your thoughts on what such curriculum/training would encompass.

If you're against, why?

I've got my own opinion on the matter, I'll chime in later. Personally, I feel that the government should not have the authority to regulate, and any non-felon adult should be allowed to carry, but let's disregard that. Let's say it's gotta be a permit.

Semper Fi!

It cost me 500 dollars in classes and fees to get my CCW in NM.

Nope.

Self defense is not only for the wealthy. Shall not be infringed.

Yes, with possible exemption for prior military and leo

Keep in mind we are talking about a license to carry, not to own.

Not opposed to training, but I am adamantly opposed to mandates that makes it easier to create and/or maintain a national (or state) registry of gun owners.

NWS makes a great point about pricing citizens out of ownership.

I am opposed to a license to carry too. Do you have a license to exercise your first ammendment rights? How about your fifth?

Uh. Ok. Keep and bear
Keep = own
Bear = carry

The struggle is real.

I'm right there with ya.
In order to sell us a license, they have to take the right first, then sell us our right back.

I'm opposed to the carry license, so I'm very opposed to mandatory training. Freedom comes with individual responsibility. People have carried weapons of all types since the beginning of time. Opening the door to one infringement always leads to further infringements down the road. The second amendment should be our carry permit, and that's all.
