I do support mandatory classes, with both classroom and hands on shooting with a minimum qualification to hit the target. There are several states that will issue with no hands on, and there are some out there with a ccw that may not be able to safely handle a firearm. Now, for those who are already qualified, and could furnish verification such as a NRA or IPSC Instructors certificate or a classification card showing a classification above the beginners class, there may be wiggle room on the hands on. There should be a minimum of time spent in training, such as Missouri is now cracking down on where some permits were certified with only a couple hours in the classroom. There are quite a number of MO CCW holders having their permits suspended until they retake a "approved" class.
