I am also the holder of a Utah CCW permit I took the one day course almost 5 years ago now.
Yes thats right it was a one day info course that is it.
I am missing why some of you feel that a CCW holder would need extensive training that LEO's have to take when over 1 million Americans with CCW permits do not.
You are not hearing of mass shootings or even accidents by CCW holders why do you feel it would be any different here?
I have to say that I am being continually amazed at how some of you support one aspect of firearms ownership and not an other...

Actually, I have to agree with you. When I made my comment I was more thinking of a qualifying day, than intensive training. I think that most people that buy handguns and would conceal carry already have a pretty good jump on your "average" constable in training when it comes to shooting.
How often does an RCMP officer have to qualify with his gun and what is involved?
