I don't disagree with that at all. I disagree with it being prerequisite for a right. 

E4, I agree with you.  It's a shame people don't take that right/responsiblility as seriously as they should I guess is the concern.

True that!

I agree that the training aspect shouldn't necessarily bar ownership, but I think it's a very, very important part (whether for carry or home). I think a lot of people out there give too much power/credit to the gun - or whatever tool - thinking it's ultimately what saves them. However, the real weapon is them (combination of brain and body). Our security lead pounded the basics into us from the beginning and while it starts to sound a little repetitive, you begin to understand the reason. It sinks in and is never something that can be overstated. Not being in the right mindset around any kind of tool can produce disastrous results.
