I personally favor thorough instruction that includes academic training and live-fire exercises and legitimate examinations for both. I'm impressed, however, by the comments by others here that such training should not be limited solely to those with the means to pay for it.

Training should be available for all legal citizens. It is common sense.
Once more, that training should be part of public education system just like drivers education. It would go far towards reducing crime in low income area's if we allowed the responsible citizens who live there to defend themselves from predation.
Marksmanship training and gun safety was the original purpose of the US Army CMP program.
If the Government mandates teaching 14 year olds how to set sexual limits then they can fit in a few minutes to teach which end the bullet comes out of in a gun.

It is actually already in the Curriculum!! Taught begining in the 4th Grade too....
Must be the "Guns Are Bad" Gun Safety indoctrination.
Now this is Maryland....one of the most gun friendly states around...Pfffft.

Anyway, point being it would not be hard to establish a free public mandatory gun safety training. It just seems part of "Equal Opportunity" to secure the blessing of liberty for all.
