I have taught gun courses in three states, and I am a GREAT advocate of people getting training and being responsible.
HOWEVER, my favorite state-mandated course to teach was the Utah course, you are there to learn the laws, and if you don't know how to shoot take an NRA course or three and learn.
If you want to see how STUPID marksmanship requirements from a state can be, look at Rhode Island, where it takes long-range shooting with a target pistol to pass the state mandated course. Infringement, pure and simple.
I dislike the OK mandated class having shooting because the student obsess about the piddly bit of shooting instead of listening to the laws.
The state-mandated "shooting classes" have less benefit than most imagine, because there is no way to learn to shoot defensively in ANY one or two day class. And the states with the least restrictive training requirements have the best safety records among licensed carriers.
