Howabout this, offer firearms education in high school, like drivers ed, without making it mandatory...kinda like AZ already allows.

While I like this idea, I'd take it a step further and make it mandatory. I think something like your typical hunter safety course would be sufficient. Afterall, if the schools can teach things like the theory of evolution and sex-education that many parents find objectionable, why is safe gunhandling any different. Personally, I think the knowledge of how to safely handle a firearm is much more important than that of Darwinian theory.
Once everyone has had their safe-gunhandling class courtesy of their education, there will be no need to have a nationwide CCW class.
