All good points guys.
This is not a rebuttal, however I wonder how things are going in N. Dakota, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri with their Constitutional Carry. I would think we dont hear much, if at all, about their local LE jurisdictions making arrests for these problems. Maybe it comes down to someone, legal or not, slipping a handgun in their pants pocket or coat pocket, and not being discovered in a prohibited place. If they pull it those places, to use it, it would be another matter. I see no attempt for any CC state to try get CC off the books, not at this point anyway.
I do remember a permit holder shooting someone in the elbow inside a gas station in Lincoln, as the thief was running away towards the door with a bottle of booze they didnt pay for. I thought I heard the permit holder wasnt charged. Me thinks someone wasnt grasping the "right to defend yourself" part of the permit class.

How is this going to affect current reciprocity requirements with other states ?

Excellent question....which is why I'm going to keep renewing my Nebraska & Minnesota CHP's until such time that lucidness returns to the state lawmakers...which might be a while.

I took the farthest lane possible away from these two and lets just say the instructor had his hands full and devoted most of his time with these morons. In the end, I believe they passed...

In my class there was a person who attempted to load the rounds in the magazine backwards and had to ask the instructor for assistance with the "broken gun." They passed . . .
Not to mention the number of people I've introduced to firearms (*after* going over the rules very, very clearly) who immediately put their fingers on the trigger with no muzzle discipline, just due to lack of familiarity.
omaharj:
It was my understanding the ccw class was in no way a substitute for training. If people failed the shooting portion of the class why were they issued certificates?
My responsibility seems to be when anyone talks about getting their first gun is to stress getting some training. Almost all the shooting ranges offer NRA Basic Pistol classes or know where to go. I used to have some cards I got at Brownells that had the 4 Rules of Gun Safety on them. I ran out giving them to new gun owners.
