If there were more available, good, affordable combat/self defense courses, I think that would really encourage more people to get trained.

I think if you go back to the rulings of SCOTUS you'll discover that they did leave room for Municipalities to make reasonable requests of Gun Owners. Now if your going to keep this weapon in your home, then I believe you have that right and additional training would be up to you and as far as I'm concerned the local and federal government can go pound sand. Especially when it comes to a long gun. Carrying in public has a different feel to me at least. There is an element where the general public has some concern on the capabilities of the person carrying. I took the training course even though under the law I did not need too since I was a vet and had a DD214. I thought the course could have been better. If your serious about this you will be serious about your capabilities also. Here's is a statement that will really make some short hairs standup on the back of some necks. I believe Gun Safety and Functionality should be taught as a mandatory course in High School.
