I do agree with them for the most part, but I think they need to be much stricter. A lady was in my CC class and could barely shoot the 38 Special she brought. It took her 10 minutes to get off 6 rounds (NOT KIDDING). You need to have the skills to use a firearm properly, and the intelligence to use it properly.
I personally feel more comfortable with the protection since I carry around about $3000 worth of camera equipment for my job. I also have a problem with a problematic spinal fusion surgery and I would not be able to fight back well. I feel that the carry laws allow law abiding citizens to have the ability to be on at least equal footing as the attacker(s).
I personally carry a Beretta 92FS with a Galco Middle-of-Back Inside Waistband holster. I use 147 grain hydro-shock hollow points.
