When they first offered the course, he was swamped with requests, and was offering the classes almost every day of the week. Six months later, he was down to one class a week. Now he hardly gets any requests to teach. Was is because people lost interest, or because of the deterrent from getting the extensive background check performed and then sitting in the class? Arizona is gonna let any Joe Schmo that owns a gun the abilty to walk around with it stuck in their pants. No class, no anything, except the basic two or three day waiting period you have to go through to buy a gun.
It's called complacency. After a while, no one will care if they see someone walking around with a gun showing. Will they be able to walk into stores, movies, banks, malls, bars, churches, offices with the gun? That'll be fun. Couple guys get wasted in a bar, get ticked off at one another, and BAM! If they didn't have the capability to have a gun on their person at the time, cooler heads may prevail, and there would be a different outcome.
Don't get me wrong, I would prefer a permit being required but if it came down to no concealed carry or concealed carry for everyone no permit required I'd chose the latter in a heart beat.
