Good but not enough. Quantity doesn't translate to quality as we don't know how good these carriers are with their firearms for defensive purposes.
Interesting that the lead photo on the article shows the woman sweeping herself? Yes we do have an idea of the talent level of most of these CC peeps. All one has to do is observe. From their choice in what and how they carry tells a lot. Understanding people tells the rest. Unfortunately, owning a guitar does not make you a musician. If you take all the shooting sports combined, what percentage of GO will there be? How many of the sea of faces at the Gun Shows do you actually see using the range? Actually, there may be a higher talent level in Golf, meaning that a higher percentage of everyone owning golf clubs can actually use them better than GO can use the gun. We must work hard to keep up the good training. Expose the awareness of talent. Encourage the GO to educate and practice his education. Test himself and his equipment. One can buy the latest gizmos, read Tactical Times and talk about scenarios all they want, they can even have a false sense of security, but if they are not working on mastering the machine they will fall into the category you are talking about.
It would be a blessing if they also received training from a qualified individual along with the LTCH. We have a lot of folks carrying guns that are more of a liability than an asset to our cause but I have no idea how to change that situation.
