Perhaps, most of those that I've spoken to that are opposed to concealed carry have never even handled a firearm before though.

I'm still undecided on concealed carry but I've fired several different weapons and I know I sure as hell shouldn't be carrying one around. Horrific aim and the kick back (or whatever that's called) even from a handgun was enough to almost put me on my ass. Do they make you demonstrate that you can properly aim and control the weapon before giving you a permit to concealed carry? If so then that'll change my mind a bit.

Each state's laws are different. Some states don't even have concealed carry.

In Nevada, you need to take a class with range qualification (demonstrating that you can hit a target from three different ranges up to 15 yards - shooting left-handed, right-handed, and freestyle).

I don't think that you do in Georgia.

Ok that's not so bad then. I would never pass that without a lot of training and the thought of someone like me carrying a weapon around in public is frightening.
 
for GA:
not required but suggested

To obtain a license, a person must go to the probate court in the county in which they live in. (The process may be different for each probate office from county to county, check with the probate court for the exact directions that need to be followed in order to apply for a firearms license. The License Process by County page has the phone number for each county's probate court and may have the process itself as submitted by other GFL holders.) The probate court clerk will process and fill out the application and give you 2 fingerprint cards. The cost for this is usually $15. You will then go to your local sheriff's office and take with you your completed application, depending on the county you may have to take 2 ink-type fingerprints cards and a money order for the amount of $26 made payable to the G.B.I. or if your county uses digital prints you will just need $19.25. You will be fingerprinted while at the sheriff's office and they may charge a $5 fee for fingerprinting. The sheriff's office will then collect your application, money order, and send them to the G.B.I. for processing. It usually takes between 5-50 days (depending on if ink or digital prints were used) for the G.B.I. and F.B.I. to process the application before sending it back to the probate court judge who will then issue the license if no disqualifying information is found during the background check. Your Georgia Firearms License exempts the holder from a NICS background check when you go to buy a firearm. Some sheriff's offices may offer a free public handgun course. It is recommend you take it as the deputies who teach the class will go over gun safety, proper loading, unloading techniques, proper carrying and drawing techniques, explanation of the firearm laws and use of deadly force laws, and range time to practice with your carry weapon.
