Fortunately, Concealed Carry Licenses are on a shall issue basis, meaning anyone who can pass a background check can easily obtain a CCL, no tests or anything required, and despite what certain elitists assert, the hills of Pennsylvania aren't alive with the sound of negligent discharges, so evidently mandatory training isn't necessary to prevent all of us civilian peons from shooting ourselves/others.
Meanwhile, the average licensed motorist in my area routinely speeds, blows through Stop Signs, speeds up at Yellow Lights, doesn't consistently use Turn Signals, and spends more time looking at their phone than they do the road ahead of them, yet each of them had to pass a Driver's Test, same as everybody else. It's almost as if passing tests has absolutely nothing to do with negligence and even if tests were as prerequisite towards a CCL, then those who are negligent with safety would still be negligent regardless.
