Concealed-carry course graduates are armed but not dangerous

BY PETER BRONSON | PBRONSON@ENQUIRER.COM

On a cold and early Saturday morning, the class at Scarlet Oaks in
Sharonville begins the usual way. Students take their seats and the
instructor introduces himself.

Then he makes an announcement: "No guns today."

"Did anyone bring their gun in?" he asks. Nobody raises a hand. Good. The
shooting starts Sunday morning.

A few plan to bring .22 revolvers. A man with a neatly trimmed gray beard
says he and his daughter will use .38s. Others mention Colts, Smith &
Wessons, a .32 Beretta. A big man across the room says he's bringing a
1911 Colt .45, and he's not talking about malt liquor.

"That's a man's gun," says the instructor, retired FBI agent Dennis R.
Lengle.
