Personal experience and the fact that there are far, FAR more reports of cops experiencing negligent discharges and shooting innocents, as well as themselves, than there are reports of CCW's doing the same.
An enjoyable class and a poor showing by cops is not reason to believe the majority of cc license carriers are well trained. Some sort of documentation would be. I get the impression that you think I am anti-gun. Nothing could be further from the truth. I've had guns since my daddy gave me a 410 for my 14th birthday. A realistic view of who has that license and a desire for reasonable common sense restrictions doesn't make me a gun hater.
Actual newspaper reports belie your statement. There are at least two orders of magnitude more police negligent discharges reported than there are CCW reports. And, police try to hide their ND's (I know of one California DOJ agent who has had TWO ND's, one of which almost hit one of his team mates, neither one made it into an official report because he was the lead agent) so the actual number is much greater than that reported. CCW's however, are under a microscope so the slightest mistake is reported gleefully by the press.
You are simply, and utterly, wrong.
It's against the law for the government to study gun violence if any of the findings might be used to advocate for gun control, so there are no real numbers, but how exactly does crappy behavior by cops translate to the majority of CC license holders are well trained? I'll tell you what would prove your case. Documentation would. The is no reason to believe any of them have more training than that little inadequate course, no matter how much you might want it to be true. Do you think that course alone makes anyone capable of being counted on in a shots fired in a public place situation? Only an idiot would believe that.
Yet you've provided no documentation to back up your claim.
Wasn't my claim to prove. WW said most CCW were well trained, and I called bullshit.
You claimed they weren't. That's your claim to prove but I know you aren't, nor will you ever be, man enough to do it.
