Agreed SethMast. One of the most nerve-wracking days of my life was a CCW qualifying class. Every safety rule was grossly violated, which kept the instructors frustrated to no end. Unfortunately, there were no requirements for common sense, just sit through the class room, pass the state test, and put 5 rounds on paper. Man, was I naive.
Even these minimal requirements have been waived here in AZ, as no CCW permit is required anymore.
