(Un)License To Chill

Sho'gun Kemp recently signed the Constitutional Carry bill into law over the wailing and gnashing of teeth coming from the "we bleed blue" anti-constitutionalists. No surprises there. What is much more interesting is a gun association (NAAGA) that came out in opposition to the law.  To be clear, NAAGA appears to be a very admirable organization providing assistance and training to an under-served part of our society. Good on them. 

What is a bit odd is the implication in their statements that somehow Constitutional Carry changes anything in Georgia regarding training. It wasn't required last year and it won't be required this year. And, to NAAGA's point, training, early and often, formal or informal is a key element of responsible gun ownership and weapons carry. NAAGA gets that, but this law changes nothing in that regard. Their work is no less noble, no less needed and frankly, no less difficult now than it ever was. Let's all hope they keep up their good works.
