Q1: Absolutely not. If a person chooses to carry in public, IMO they should also have had training on how to use the weapon, and when.

Guess I'm not a hardcore.

Q2: My grown daughter packs a .380 or 9mm, and has the needed training to go along with it, if ever needed. She does not live in fear, nor do my grandchildren.

Cops train constantly, but the public doesn't. I'd be a big supporter of legislation requiring the completion of a training course and passing a test to show competence before a concealed permit is issued.
