Not really, my state (GA) is a "Shall Issue" state, all we need is to be fingerprinted and under-go a GBI background check. Absolutly no training is required. Of course, many of us may have put in more range time than the local LE community per year.
Ah, the dangers in making assumptions. Here in Texas classroom time and range time is required although it can be squeezed into a day.
