When it comes to gun ownership, Aqil Qadir knows exactly what he’s talking about.
He’s a former New York police officer, an NRA-certified firearms instructor and heads his own self-defense training company.
But despite taking pride in being able to take people through Tennessee’s handgun carry permit course, he’s not upset to see the classroom requirement eliminated.
“The handgun permit class was never adequate training anyway,” he says. “And anybody who does this for a living will tell you that.” |

Until the Overton Window on police's perception of blacks and guns shifts in a positive direction, this is an unfortunate but critical necessity.
I applaud their approach, and sincerely hope that it gains continued success. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
