I believe “specialized training” should be up to the individual and not made mandatory. I myself, getting my first rifle at age seven (yup, 7) have been hunting and shooting since I was a small boy. I consider myself very familiar with handling and use of firearms but can see the need for training in the art of self defence using firearms. Hunting and shooting is a lot different than protecting yourself or someone in times of great stress.
Like many others, I have had military training in shooting and hand/hand combat. ANY additional training is definitely an asset when the “real world events” are at you door. Just my $0.02 worth..........
