Reply #57: I'd be for a safety course like the NRA teaches on firearms [View All]

basics for purchase which could be done in a few hours at a reasonable cost. If you want to carry a firearm then you'd have to take a more comprehensive course that would go over the law of when you can use the firearm, concealment requirements and a qualifying session on the range. But I'd like for it then to be like my driver's license and would allow me to carry in any state in the U.S.

Most states that passed CCW laws in the last decade require such courses. My state of PA doesn't. All it takes is $25 and a clean record to get a 5 year permit here. I personally decided that is not enough and have paid for a couple of courses on my own.

I might be amenable to a reasonably priced range and safety test when it came time to renew the CCW.

There are plenty of ranges and already established schools plus instructors who could be certified for this.
