3. Interestingly, the columnist didn't identify what sort of
firearm she wanted to buy. As it turned out, she wanted a handgun, and wants to carry it concealed. She's going to have to jump through more hoops than she realized.

Now, had she wanted a rifle or shotgun, things would have been much simpler, at least in most states. I doubt she's going to get her concealed carry permit, frankly. She could buy a shotgun, though, without so much hassle.

On the other hand, it was good that she took the class and got some training, even if it was very minimal. If that weren't required, she might have purchased her handgun, had no training whatsoever, and done herself or someone else an injury.

It's all a mixed bag.
