I went to CCW class yesterday, and now I have to wonder why they even bother to have the class. I think that Arizona is a "shall issue" state...they have to give you the permit if you ask for it.
The instructor even said that out of 23, there were 7 people that he should fail. One was the daughter of a friend of the instructor, had never fired a gun in her life, and her father told her to buy a Glock, instead of a nice, simple wheelgun. She didn't know how to load it, or even which end to point at the target. A few others didn't know how to shoot at all, and one kid brought a gun that first he said he bought from his father, then his cousin, and it had no firing pin in it.
All we had to do was put 7 out of 10 into a 1' square at 21 feet. People who missed got to try it again. 96,000 people are legally carrying guns, and gawd knows how many illegally. I hope I'm nowhere around if their guns go off.
The only thing that I got out of the class is that if you shoot anybody, for just about any reason, you're probably going to prison. I also learned that a bowling team is a gang...any time four or more people dress the same in AZ, they are legally a gang. Also, if anyone is close enough to me to grab my gun, like in a car, even if it's in my left pocket, that person can be arrested for carrying a concealed weapon. These are games that prosecutors play, because their job is to put people in prison whether they have done anything wrong or not.
At least we don't live in Massachusets, though. There was a woman there whose ex-husband called her up and said that he was coming over to kill her. She called 911, and they told her to call back when he got there. She made the call as he was breaking into the house, he chased her all around and into the basement in a corner, and she shot him. She is currently on death row, because there was a window up over her head that the prosecutor said that she could have climbed out of. Did we need one more reason not to live in Massachusets?
Sheesh.
