Sorry, didn't see this earlier.
TH is correct. Some states require more training than others. Some none at all. While some do not even have CCW permits because they feel anyone can carry ccw without it.
This all goes to what I was saying earlier about training. Also, in some states you have open carry laws. Sometimes this is restricted more in different counties. But you get my point.
Bottom line.
No I do not think that the gov should get involved in school affairs. Too much government intervention is a bad thing. And students can choose to go to a college that is not gun free. But that can come at a loss to the student because of educational issues, money, distance from home, etc.
I know they need to stop focusing on the citizen, and start focusing on the criminal. Give incentives for people to get training. I do not know of anyone (myself included) that would refuse extra training for a tax break on buying the weapon.
The only problem would be coming up with, implementing, and funding the training program. Yes you could simple certify current CCW instructors, but that class is still expensive ($195 for a two hour class in NC). So the tax break would have to outweigh the cost of the class. That would be tough, to figure out. Or put a cap on how much the class can cost. But then again that would probably be too much government involvement for many (but definitely less involvement than having them simply ban firearms).
