Most firearms instructors will also advise that permit holders practice regularly and what types of ammo are suitable for defensive purposes...and thats about it. Its not rocket science, and the average citizen does not require more advanced trainin. Thats good enough for me!

The people who actually apply for and and are granted permits are honest, law-abidin, hard-workin folks who cherish their Second Amendment Rights and universally reject the culture of victimhood and helplessness that society pushes. They understand how foolhardy it is to rely on the police for protection from the criminal element, and that the personal safety of their families and loved ones ultimately rests with themselves.
and everything that you have just stated is already perfectly legal except the majority of American's aren't scared of being victimized every time they step out the door.

I guess the only problem I have here is that there's really nothing preventing your utopia from actually existing other than the majority of Americans lacking the desire or the fear required for an average citizen to carry a gun in public
