A How-To Guide On Dealing With A ‘Gunsplainer’

[Angel Martin]

53. as one of the pro gun crowd, I agree with your list

I especially think that the requirements for concealed carry need to be more strict than for home defence

I would also like the concealed carry training integrated with how police respond to active shooters, so the concealed carriers know what the police will do and how to react, and vice versa

if a sub set of concealed carriers were additionally trained on how to describe to police the appearance, location and actions of an active shooter, and could be given a priority communication link with the police, that could help as well.

this problem isn't going away. There are millions of ARs and similar in circulation in the US already. There are millions of AKs in europe from the balkan wars (street price 300 euros). In addition, millions more AKs will be coming onto the market as Russia change their basic battle rifle.

In terms of a trade, I would like to see federal law codifying a right to self defence and concealed carry - with minimal restrictions on pistols and shotguns. I think they are safer than rifles for self defence because of limited range. There are also some dumb federal restrictions on short barrel semi auto shotguns which should go. Those are perfect for home defence and the projectiles doesn't go 2 miles if you miss.

It would also be good if some of the more restrictive states would back off on the restrictions on pistols and shotguns for concealed carry and home defence.
