is close at hand?

There needs to be some changes in the CWL requirements by most all of the states. Many have no training requirements, requiring you to learn about the laws pertaining to concealed carry. Most of the concealed carry classes here in Florida are a joke. Also you don't need any class instruction if you are prior military and have a DD 214 or a hunter safety class. Hunter safety class does not require that you fire a shoot. A DD 214 issued 30 years ago to a draftee, ain't nothing wrong with draftees, but his sole job in the military was a cook, who only fired a rifle twice during his entire military career, is a joke when it comes to issuing a concealed permit. At least have the requirement that they attended a class on the statute pertaining to concealed carry and know and understand the law, with a certificate issued by an approved trainer, either state certified or NRA certified. BTW I am both.

I don't really worry to much about those that carry here in TV, my biggest fear is those idiots that drive. Traffic circles are a death trap and everyone seems to be in a hurry to get somewhere fast.
