I live in Arizona and I am not sure this is a good idea.

Would you like to see a requirement that people take a class before buying books, joining a church, or publishing thoughts on the internet? Is the right to keep and bear arms somehow different from our other rights?
There are no rights without responsibilities. It's up to everyone who owns guns to become familiar with the laws pertaining to firearms.
Speaking strictly as an NRA-certified instructor and CCW instructor: yes, classes are a worthy investment, but that's up to each individual gun owner to decide, not government.
My hat's off to the good people of Arizona for showing other states the way!
