One good thing to come out of these tragedies is this - from the Sacramento, CA CBS affiliate:
Inquiries Into License To Carry Classes Up After Mass Shootings
The number of mass shootings in the last week has prompted many to purchase guns and sign up for classes to earn their license to carry concealed weapons, according to the people who are doing training.
And:
Wingert, a former police officer, has taught concealed carry classes for 40 years all across California. He teaches up to 300 classes a year, and when a mass shooting happens, inquiries go up 10-15%.
The classes are 16 hours - a decent start for training. Training is an ongoing thing though, you should take a course once/year and spend time at the range practicing. A lot of fun and you can get quite good at it. I enjoy shooting.
