First there is the typical shooter on this forum or in IDPA matches or other shooting or training venues whom train and practice and have an understanding of what that gun will do.

Then there is the more common shooter who has not practiced and has Hollywood's image of carrying a gun. While I support 2A I will tell you there are citizens who are legally carrying a gun that scare me to death. About a year ago a CHL holder shot a clerk in a gun fight and in his defense the bad guys locked him in the store but I can't imagine what that must feel like.

All I can do is continue to stress the importance of training, trust in God and hope I'm proven wrong.
I'm not sure I understand your point. The story you quoted happened under the current law, renewal classes didn't do anything to stop it.
"there are citizens who are legally carrying a gun that scare me to death"
There are millions of people with guns in their homes or in their cars under MPA who aren't required to undergo any training. That must really scare you. Maybe we should pass a law...
What scares me to death is when anyone starts a sentence with "While I support 2A..."
If you really supported 2A you would want to do away with all of this infringement.
