I don't believe all yanks have fired a gun but I might be wrong.i started the thread. and as far as it goes, it's their state, they can do as they wish lol.
Someone started this thread useing the gun law in a state of the union as a reason for asking a question tho so I felt it only fair if I not only gave my answer but my own opinion on why they are doing it as well.
As far as people haveing a sence of how to use a weapon, any weapon, before haveing ever had one in their possession I believe that would depend on how they were raised.
As an example, I was raised with weapons. They were always around.
I never had any special training, never took a course, but I can handle them and did so from first contact. I don't go to ranges. I don't know anyone that does. We do all of our shooting in the bush.
but you have experience. (and you don't live in arizona )
thing is how does anyone whose selling a gun know if the person they're selling it too has any experience? (unless they know them personally)
i know i could drive at the age of 12. i couldn't get a license untill i was 17 and even then i couldn't get a license until i had past a test.
i think the whats wrong with this picture part of what vf says about; if every carried a concealed weapon is this:
if i know how to use a weapon and hold you up. you will not get a shot of at me, should you try i'd simply shoot you. i suspect if everyone carried a concealed gun many criminals would shoot first and ask for your wallet when you were dead.
theres also this.
while many law abiding citizens haven't fired a weapon, many american criminals and gang members have. it's the main reason i say everyone who buy a gun should be able to show their competent with one, or take a lesson or two to make them competent.
bang, cap in the back of the head. mmm that's a nice concealed weapon thank you very much.
