Erick, I have to disagree with you on this one. Just because someone can legally buy a firearm does not mean it is safe or smart for them to carry in public. I am a CCW holder and an avid 2nd Amend guy. I am also a USPSA shooter. I see plenty of people who have legal firearms do stupid things with them. Not to mention the legal nightmare resulting from using a firearm in public to defend oneself. As you know being a lawyer, self defense law has many pitfalls. Without training in how to safely handle firearms and a basic understanding of the law, I think constitutional carry is dangerous. The only way to ensure training is with a CCW. By the way, Georgia does a poor job on the training side (none) for CCW permits. My EDC is a G43 too. Be safe.
