Folks took Alphecca to task about his position that maybe 21 year olds should be the lowest age that CCW permits are issued.
I sort of sympathize. Commenters come back with "they let me carry an M16 rifle when I was 19 and in teh Marines and things were just fine."
Well, they were also in a unit, shepharded by a Sergeant and iron bound to discipline. The 19 year old is part of a discipline unit. He is not an individual, he is part of a larger whole.
Can a 19 year old be mature enough to go it alone, outside the Platoon? Yes. But is it the safe way to bet?

I love that he named his P-51 "Old Crow", after his favorite whiskey.
Rest in peace and rise in Glory, General.

Having become a badge wearing, gun toting cop at 18, I'd say no. I didn't think so at the time, but looking back, I wouldn't hire me in the same circumstance.
