I'm not slamming this woman. I do think we can study the incident, discuss it and learn from it.
I have a CPL too but the requirement to get one here in Michigan isn't high and I feel I'm not adequately trained to carry in public. I don't have the inclination to spend the money and time taking more advanced courses and practicing what I've been taught so I reach the level I ought to be to carry off my property.
My revolver is stowed away as I shattered my shoulder and cannot practice my home defense drills with the (unloaded)gun. I can't do much of anything yet with my new shoulder. I hope by fall I'll have some use of my arm back so I can begin practicing the drills again.
The main reasons I got my CPL is to make it a tad easier to transport the gun to and from the shooting range outside of town and the other reason is do I can legally have in my possession a revolver owned by a brother who is working overseas. I also wanted the training.
I have no issue or disagreement with what you said in your post.
