Re: Why NYC could benefit from municipal bankruptcy

Training requirements for gun ownership are a complicated issue. Given the inherent danger of guns it does make a great deal of sense to require training. Not just in terms of safe storage and handling, but also with the much more complicated issue of when it's justifiable to shoot and when it isn't - just because you're in a confrontation with a ghetto gangbanger/drug addict/schizophrenic does not mean deadly force is justified (though a high rate of carry may deter attacks).

The drawback of training requirements is that anti-gun states like New York can use them as just another regulatory hoop through which people have to jump. On balance, though, they're not a bad idea.
