On the one hand, I believe that demonstration of some baseline skill level should be required for the protection of citizens in the event of a defensive gun use. On the other hand, the added expense of such training could be a de-facto ban for the poor who need protection most........as they live in dangerous, drug-infested areas. Cost of gun + safe + training could be a deal-breaker for some. I voted no permit -- which is consistent with my belief that society has an obligation to protect the vulnerable. This would include women, gays, the elderly and handicapped.
