I wish there were some sort of enticement that would convince people to get training and practice. Here and Tennessee, where our other home is, have recently adopted 'constitutional carry' and its pretty concerning.

Some folks just aren't ready to own/carry and that's a risk to us all. A few months after my dad passed away my mom called in a panic, she had just found his revolver and shot her bread making machine trying to unload it. There's still a divot in the kitchen counter where the bullet hit before ricocheting into the bread maker. I'm afraid the bread maker did not survive.
