Can't say I'm surprised. This has been a steady trend for awhile now, before this latest round of gun control hysteria started.

Another statistic you won't hear on the nightly news... how many CCW holders are involved in gun-related crimes, let alone mass-shootings? (hint: the former is almost none, and AFAIK the latter is none).

Well with all the headline news and polls it seemed like gun rights were a thing of the past but I guess the trend is reversing itself. And it doesn't help that they take those polls right after any horrible gun crime.

Last I heard people were removing their heads from their butts long enough to let facts prevail instead of knee jerk reactions.

90% certain my Hunters Ed class will suffice for Oregon's permit requirement since the first thing the dood started with was pistol safety.

Wife needs a class but we are getting our permits also.

Well I sure hope so, as there is a lot of misinformation and just plain ignorance about guns all over the news/media lately. When I read comments from people like "nobody needs automatic weapons" or "nobody needs machine guns" (both of which have been unavailable to the general public and HEAVILY regulated since NFA in 1934) let alone the idiocy surrounding 'assault rifles' it makes me want to do this: :banghead:

I think the issue stems from the term "auto load", also known as semi auto.

I agree the ignorance is ASTOUNDING! Makes me want go all Rambo on the internet.

....and ironically, which ones get pointed at people more?

ha haaaaa.. that's soo true.

Our offices have been packed.

I'm finally gonna break down and go get one.. I never really wanted to carry. But in the light of recent events I'd like to have as many registered responsible "statistics" out there representing our cause.

Also might do some training in the future.. and maybe start carrying.

Who knows.
