I think it’s wise for city folk who don’t know jack about firearms to take a class, but for we folks who grew up in the sticks shooting beer bottles off fence posts and drove our daddy’s pickup with a shotgun or rifle in the back window rack to school every day, it’s really not necessary.

I’d still like to see ghetto scum and gangbangers take a class, if for no other reason than to improve their aim at each other.

I wasn't thinking about the "learn to fire a weapon without losing your eyebrows" part of the training so much as the "learn what's legal with regard to armed self defense in your state" part.
