I could take the magazine out, check the chamber 10 times, and I would still probably be mentally unable to force myself to point a gun at my neck and pull the trigger

Same here. During my carry permit training we had to dry-fire at the instructor and it gave me big-time heebie-jeebies. I can't imagine what it's like to point it at your own fool self and pull the trigger. We sure do have a lot of soft-headed oafs on our police forces nowadays.

I'd have fired that clown on the spot and gone to real instructor.

You had to do this to get a permit? Great Googly Moogly. I don’t know if I would do that either as student or teacher.

I can't imagine that being part of a state mandated training..

Eff that. No way would I point a gun at anybody I didn't intend to kill. Screw the CCL — that's just freaking nuts.
