With 18 weeks training from a licesend firearm instructor/LE officer, how can legislation not allow us as students to be qualified to posses a permit to carry after completing the training, and while a certified NRA member can give a 6-8 hour class to some one that may have no idea about a gun, never have shot a gun, and more or less just briefly go over the laws involved in the responsibility and justifing of takings of some persons life? I was in surprised how easy it was to get that permit with what is required by law, and not being able to get the permit through all of the training I have from the LE program. I understand there are many sides to this and my intentions are not to piss any one off about the subject. I like to have other points of view thrown at me, I find it to help give me a better understanding of peoples views out there in the state.
By all means I am proud MN has allowed for the permit to carry to be issued to valid persons. but should the state should require more training? I am wondering about this only because it was way to easy to get through the class, and I know a lot of knuckle heads that could pass the class and background check and be able to posses a handgun, which I would not trust them to have in the sense they might feed the fire for anti-gun people. Does it have to do with money or something else. Can any one repectfully answer this question? Do people think this class should be easy or should it be more strict? I apoligize for spelling and grammer errors in the message, since so many people like to be critics on that, and I hope the question is clear! And I should realize that this question is something that many of you might want to straighten me out on, that's why I like this, wether it is good or bad, it allows me to look at things in ways I might not see, so have at it
