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.

I am not familiar with a SCOTUS ruling that gives specific authority for Municipalities to "make reasonable requests of gun owners." Perhaps you could give me a citation so that I can look it up. That is certainly not true in Florida where there is a state preemption law that establishes that the State has sole authority to pass gun regulation legislation and which prohibits any political subdivision in the state from passing such laws.
On your second point, gun safety training should begin in the lower grades. The NRA Eddie Eagle safety course emphasizes that if a child discovers a gun, the child should: 1. Don't touch, 2. Leave the area, and 3. Tell an adult.
