I held my nose and got the damned thing just in order to cover my family's ass. The right of armed self-defense is universal, absolute, unalienable and irreducable. Any person; man or woman, young or old, sick or well, gay or straight, has the right to carry the weapon of their choice anywhere in public spaces (as distinct from on private property) without asking anyones permission. The abrogation of this right has been a major symptom of the erosion of liberty in this country ever since the "Remington & Colt Pistol Act" was passed to disarm freed Blacks and ensure a safe working environment for the Pennyrollers and Ku Kluxers.

I have to disagree with this because if there weren't ccw laws then what incentive would people have to get training? You can say personal responsibility all you want but there's no way to enforce it without having laws in place.
Alot of people I know are ignorant of the fact they need training. They have a gun for home protection and figure they don't need training, all they need to know is that if you put these shiny brass thingies in the barrell and pull the trigger the gun goes bang.
