Juan Williams Wife wishes she had a gun

[5.0THIS]

I also believe a firearm would have done her very little in this situation. Not because she is a women but because I do not think most of us (male or female) would have benefited much from a firearm in this situation. Someone jumps in your car and hits the gas if you aren't on them before they start moving you aren't going to get a clean shot off. And in many states shooting someone who is fleeing could land you in jail as well. Only states with the castle doctrines that extend to vehicle ownership would you be 100% safe.

You realize that opinion makes you a pot smoking, anti-gun liberal, right? Oh wait nevermind, that was just me who was called that in a PM yesterday regarding this thread.

Ok then if that's what he meant then I'll agree with how you interpreted it.

Not many folks keep up with practice and training, regardless of what they had to do to get a permit to carry.

5.0 your stat/opinion about untrained CCW holder is just wrong. You know a significant number of states require CCW holders to go through safety training courses and even some require proof of proficiency in the pistol you plan to carry.

I won't go through all 50 states but for example: TX & AR require you show proficiency on revolver or semi-auto. While TX requires IIRC 8 hrs of safety instruction, while AR does not. AL you just need to pass background check & pay fee. Each state dictates what the requirements are for CCW holders to comply with.


Now unless I'm mistaking and you meant that most people are untrained in handling conflict situations then in that case I'll agree.

TN and GA require you to go through a safety class in a class room...then you have to go to the range and prove that you can handle a weapon correctly and safely.
