Shubb on both banjo and guitar. Because that's the kind my teacher suggested.
It's different from state to state here in the USA as far as requirements for concealed weapons permits. My state has no requirement for getting the permit except that the Sheriff's department checks you out thoroughly. In my neighboring state, a class is required. I have taken several gun safety classes just because I wanted to, not because I had to.
The first one I took was in San Francisco back in the dark ages. It was actually fun. It was not just gun safety, it was hunter safety. They showed a film where a hunter has the opportunity to shoot, and the action froze while the narrator asks, should he shoot or not? Then they continue the action, showing whether or not the hunter shoots and why he could or couldn't.
I wish they'd get a clue here in the states and teach the basic principles of shooting in public schools, as well as what the law is. Educate, educate, educate.
