Sleazy end of the concealed carry “Industry” huh? Maybe you want to clarify your position a bit. Are you suggesting that there are a lot of people in firearms training that are simply out to make a quick buck without teaching the information they claim they will impart? Or perhaps you think the qualifications to carry should be more onerous then a 4 hour class?

Yup! It may not be intentional, though. Any instructor will tell you that “war stories” are a lot more fun to tell (and listen to) than the boring old legal stuff, etc. However, that’s not what students pay you for. Just because they had a good time in your class doesn’t mean you did right by them.

Personally, I like the states that do a background check; then, if you’re not a felon, they send you a license. Boats are a lot more dangerous than guns, and you don’t need a license to drive a boat.
That having been said, I’ll say something else: Wake up, you numbs! Get some training, and I don’t mean from Uncle Fred. Get your damn finger off the trigger. Learn about the Tueller Drill. As a starter, buy the NRA books (Basic Pistol, Personal Protection in and outside the Home, etc.) Quit target shooting and practice the tactical stuff. Learn the laws. Forget the coffee and donuts classes - there are good instructors around - find one.
