Should gun permits be easier?
Mike M.:
Dan you just touched on a good idea. The hunter safety course is paid for by taxes on hunting gear and firearms. Why not have a handgun/concealed safety course paid for the same way?

Exactly. This would be a fairer solution.

Never Thought There'd Be the Day!!!!!!!
When Two Upstanding NFOA Members would agree that they want a FREE government program.
Hunter Education ain't free.
It's paid for--among other sources--by the Pittman-Robertson Act of 1937, which levies a 10 Per Cent Manufacturer's Excise Tax on ALL FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION. And an 11 Per Cent Excise Tax on ARCHERY EQUIPMENT.
So--Youse guys are paying for it, and it's a hidden tax, like a value added tax.
And----all the Pittman-Robertson money pays for is the state home office administration. All the Hunter Ed instructors are Pure Volunteers.
Like Me. [Not Pure; Just a Volunteer.]
So--Boys--for your penance, go to the range and shoot until you bust 24/25. Or qualify IDPA/Expert.
Free Government Program, Indeed!!!! And on the NFOA!!

Exactly and that is why every state should recognize a hunter safety course as sufficient training to obtain a permit to carry a gun.....if they insist on requiring a permit that is. I say do away with the permit and let everyone who is not a felon carry a handgun if they so please. It is a RIGHT.

Here's a Wild Thought:
Switzerland has [or did have] Universal Military Training.
And then Everybody who went through UMT HAD to have a [military] firearm stashed behind the door at home in case the neighbors [Italy, Germany, etc.] decided to come rumbling through on their way to conquest.
Last I heard, Swiss crime was Zilch. Same story, gun accidents.
I wunder if Swiss Banks ever get robbed.
Now, with all that speculation, I gotta go Google it up.
Anyhow, if we had UMT, then everyone who participated could CCW.
Just Exactly Like Iowa's New CCW Law: Show DD214; get Shall-Issue CCW.
Looks like the Iowegians got sumthin' right.
