    If you have a Concealed Carry licence do you have to prove you can actually shoot the Handgun you carry ?????
    Like a simple double pop from the draw at 20 feet ?????
    Wouldn't it be wonderful if those that owned firearms actually hit what hey were shooting at.
    Personally I used to shoot a bit
    Beat an Olympic Gold medalist in trap once
    Used to be able to double pop from the draw at 20 feet in all calibers up to and including 45 cal
    In the military fired 5.56, 7.62, 308 and 50 cal rifles
    just believe that everyone who owns and fires a gun should hit what their aiming at

    The rules vary from state to state going from mandatory class & range time, to "No felonies? Here ya go."

    Agreed, Terry!
    Not to de-rail the thread, but to your question, it varies depending on where you get your certification from. Around my area, classes are held at the hunting/gun shops and are generally taught by active or former law enforcement instructors. In my experience those classes do a MUCH better job on the hands-on testing portion of the training. Involves moving to cover, working reloads, shooting from various positions/stances, using dom/non-dom hands, etc. I had a buddy who took his class at a large "armory"-type gun store and was taught by "NRA Qualified" staff, and from what he said, the hands-on was a joke. There were participants in his class that were unaware of the differences between an autoloader, and a revolver....that to me is somewhat frightening.

    Pretty funny
    And them people are armed and walking the street
    You would think they would at least be qualified to the extent that they they had the ability to hit what they were shooting at ???????
