Like so many other subjects here, there is merit and passion on both sides of the question.
Training is never a bad thing. Spending money on what we like is natural, and normal. If thats how a fellow likes to spend his time and money, I am all for it.
Most of us will never need the the training. If we do find ourselves in the position where it would be good knowledge to have, well, either you have the training, or you muck through the situation. Most of that stuff is over in seconds anyway. Most of us won't have the darn shotgun at hand if we needed it.
I have been shooting, and hunting with shotguns for about 50 years now. I certainly don't know it all, but I do have a lot of experience. For me, there will be no shotgun classes.
