I'm of two minds on the whole thing. One one hand, it's not much different than requiring a hunter safety course for minors.
On the other hand, a training requirement that starts its life as a well-meaning and unobtrusive measure could balloon into something more restrictive and unworkable in subsequent legislative sessions.
All things said, I've seen no evidence that a training requirement reduces accidental or negligent injury, nor that sitting through a state-mandated class turns anyone into less of a boob.
