Just as the title states, I'd like to know all of your opinions on the topic.It's kind a personal question of mine, because I have both in the family in large numbers, and all of them are gun enthusiasts. However, including the one who carries in MN (who I'm not sure took the CCW course to begin with), wants to carry their guns everywhere.I have family in MN and IN. My WI permit allows me to carry in IN, but not MN, which his horse crap, believe me, whatever.Here is my beef:Personally, I don't think that time in the military or the police force should exclude you from having to take part in the CCW course portion of the permit application. The purpose of the course is to train you on how to properly conceal, carry, where to do it, when to use it, when NOT to use it, where you can't carry it, the laws around it, reciprocity involved, etc, etc... Some are better than others in this sense.SOME states require previous training. I will make this concession, THAT is the only thing I think that previous military and police training should exclude you from. Since they had to quality to be part of those roles, they shouldn't have to do extra range time. Assuming they are capable of doing so.However, I quizzed all of my family members on WI carry laws including reciprocity, duty to inform, weight of law for signs, criminal trespassing, duty to retreat, castle doctrine, etc.They all had mixed reports. No one got it right over half the time. Simply having spent time in the military or police force does not mean you automatically know the laws surrounding CCW or firearms, in general. In fact, I would argue most police officers known less about CCW law than the carriers themselves.This is why I think that the CCW course portion should be required no matter what (assuming it's a part of your state, in the first place).What are you thoughts on the subject? Input, criticism? I'd like your honest input, so I don't feel like I'm just going crazy here. Maybe there is something I'm missing. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2FWb4bR
