Someone75,
As for your statement about education requirements, did you know that most of the military and some of the police that serve our fair nation do not have a college education? These are the people that protect your freedom and carry firearms daily on the job. Some of us were born poor and could not afford to go to college or we had to work to support sick parents and put our siblings through grade school. I have my permit for the state where I live and back in my home state I can legally walk down the street with my gun on my hip. I am niether small, frail, nor a wimp but I will carry any place that it not illegal to carry such as govenment facilities, schools, and courthouses. The crime rate goes down in every state that has recognized the 2nd Amendment. A college education does not give someone common sense or courage. I would rather have a high school grad with common sense armed than a college grad who is too stupid to figure out the simple things required to survive. Take any backwoods farmer’s boy and he will probably be safer handling a firearm than the average college punk that has had mommy and daddy buy his way out of any mess he has gotten into. By the way, the frmer’s boy is also more likely to serve his country and carry a weapon to preserve YOUR freedom.
