you implied that a CCW with an instructors license would be a serious or likely threat. That is (statistically) absurd.
Accidents are extremely rare, mostly due to negligence. Guns simply do not just go off. Before you get to temporary rage, there is a history of violence. People just don't go off the deep end. Basing policy on extremely improbable situations (especially when it comes to individual liberty) is illiberal and logically inconsistent, unless you are going to ban high school football which on average kills more kids than school shootings (brain injuries).

Either way, the ruling was legally correct. Changing the law is for people in Mississippi to debate.
