I have two daughters, 23 and 19. They have little interest in firearms or personal protection. I have proposed to them that I would pay for their lifetime LTCH license. Neither daughter has tossed it back to me, confirming they would pursue my "gift."
I did explain that the license is nothing more than making them legal. There would have to be training, well beyond my own safety instruction and range time with them, before they could actually carry.
My reasoning is;
- Their safety. If a fairly immediate threat occurs, their minds could change quickly. The idea of already being legal to carry would be much preferred to to waiting weeks or months. (Yes, I understand that my role would be intensified also. Training, resources, and $ for it now.)
- The paranoia that the lifetime license could go away. I say this as a holder of an IN Lifetime Comprehensive Hunting and Fishing License. Just try to get one of them now, you can't.
I would appreciate input on how to influence my daughters to take advantage of this. Or, tell me it's a bad idea and to let them be.
Thank you.
