I can understand your point to a degree, and anybody would have a hard time telling me that I didn't have a God given, Constitutional right to carry whatever type of weapon I wanted to on my own property. Thing is taking on the responsibility to carry and be able to use a pistol in a public place is another matter entirely. Yes, the right should be there, hense many places having "Shall issue" laws meaning anyone wanting one only has to 'ask' for it. That said, when carrying where others lives could be at risk by your actions, is no different than driving a car. Basically all the courses come down to is teaching you the same, basic laws that any law enforcement officer has to know and keep in mind before drawing his weapon, as well as showing a minimum proficiency with a pistol by being able to hit a human sized target at common ranges. It's not really any different that what we all have to go through learning the rules of the road (laws) concerning motor vehicle operation, and taking an instructor for a test ride to show proficiency in the operation of the vehicle before getting a drivers license.
Yes, ultimately the right to self defense is there, wether it's with a firearm, knife, or whatever. However, having seen the lack of knowledge in firearms use exhibited by some of the folks at the beginning of the class I took, I feel at least a little better knowing they were all taught the right way to do things before being issued a license to carry.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
