A CCW Gun: A Story of Dumb and Dumber.

[colonyfirearms]

I am a licensed dealer in Georgia.
I have always had a carry permit. I always felt that anyone who wanted one should be able to get a permit.
After I became a dealer I Have changed my mind.
In Georgia all you have to do is clear a background check and you will get a permit.
I see people get a permit and buy a pistol and don't know the first thing about handling a gun safely. They have never even fired a weapon.
I am in favor of training before carry permit. You should see some of the people who want to buy a gun.
I have refused to sell to some on them.
Georgia and any other state that has not training requirements should consider implementing mandatory training.

Off of my soap box

colonyfireasrms,

I hear you loud and clear. I agree there should be s requirment for basic handgun experience. Unfortuately, when handgun training is mandated, the anti's make sure NO Firearms Training Class is held, so then NO ONE can get a CCW.

I guess we should be glad that the rights apply to all and we just need to educate those with greatest need. I run several gun classes every year.

Im back. I.v been off for a while, I had a nasty accident at work, fell from the top step on my tracktor trailer flat on my back, I'm still in a lot of pain and still not working after 10 weeks off, doc says its the end of my driving. Well I did end up getting a Hi Point 9mm and a holster. Its very comfortable to wear, and I also went to the range and used a box of 50 to sight it in and have some fun with targets. Next step is getting the CCW. I'll have to wait till I can get around better for that.

BritRGJ,

I am sorry to hear about your injury. I hope you heal soon so you can get in more trigger time at the range with your 9mm.
