I'm 50/50 on the training issue. I can count two occasions in the last two years in which I was almost injured or killed by an inattentive, incompetent person who had a license to carry.
The moral part of me objects to the idea of licensing carry in the first place, much less requiring a class. The practical part notices that people don't grow up shooting any more, and that it wouldn't hurt a
significant portion of gun owners to take a couple of hours to sit through NRA First Steps, at the very least.
Now, if Wisconsin was requiring a 2-day $500 class, only offered in one facility, and only twice every six months, I'd certainly see a problem. However, if the criteria is as broad as I'm interpreting it, it's no harder than Florida.
There's political compromise involved with changes like this, and the mild training requirement doesn't seem too onerous.
(Who else briefly felt their blood turn cold when they saw the phrase "Web Training," though?
