No really formal course. I started my safety course about age 4 by my grandfather and uncle who were both X military. It lasted until I was about 10 years old. They then told me they were proud of how I handled a firearm and myself when using it. None of the family had to "correct" me after that and I have lived to 60+ years old without a problem in that respect. I agree that the common sense of firearms use today is not anywhere near it was in the 60's-80's. Your new requirements are there to chill the population from owning a certain class of firearm with a couple feelgood measures thrown it to boot. At least you don't have to attend those classes to keep already owned firearms--------yet!
I believe we all should go after the alcohol use and demand classes on safe/sane use and BAL devices to start ALL vehicles and such. Those that want to restrict our rights would be so busy defending their beer and wine they would have little time bother anyone about anything else. Think about how many innocent lives would be saved then. FWIW I have many liberal leaning "acquaintances", not friends, that berate me for being a firearms owner and therefore unsafe, that will not think twice about drinking several six packs or the same in wine or hard liquor and drive home with the reflexes of a petrified sloth! The horror!!!
ETA Does anyone honestly think that the NRA backed this to increase their instructors revenue stream?? Really now!
