How About a Competency Test for Voting, Instead?

But now Maryland gun regulators are insisting that anyone who wants to defend his home with a firearm must have a month of special training. [More]
As opposed to Maryland "Only Ones" who get "35 hours of classroom instruction, training, and qualification"?

Thanks for finding this. I’ve archved it as another example of how, when “training” is required for a constitutional right, governments inevitably abuse training to achieve denial.

My canonical example is Rhode Island back in the ‘80s, where they required you pass a particular state-run training course, then only held it once a year with a very limited class size. Result: if you weren’t politically connected, there was never any room at the inn for you.
