Just to be clear the question was not about being trained, but practicing with the gun you carry.

Is it irresponsible for a person to charge for training they feel is a MUST to carry a gun? I'm all for training, practice is useless without it, if you don't know how to properly practice, then practice is useless?
Mike, I applaud you for that. I know your former employer would Never abide with that. I'm not trying to ruffle feathers with that post. I believe in practicing and training, but one without the other is, in my opinion, worthless. But for a guy that sells training to post about practice, or not being irresponsible, I took a wrong look maybe? I don't do training for money, but I believe EVERYONE who owns a gun should seek it. But practice without training is like having two men having sex to make a baby.I offer free training at the gun club I am on the board of, and get very few takers even though I know there are many there who carry with no training and /or practice. Of course in MI you have to take a class to get your CPL so you are good after that.

If you carry a gun in public and have to use it. It is going to be important to be able to draw the gun and hit the threat and not hit anyone else. Being able to hit a target/threat takes skill. How can you be responsible without that skill?
