I guess I'm a little different. To me the class, or at least the way it was done, was very informative as to the law, and I enjoyed it! I wouldn't want an online 1 hour class. The gentleman that did my class was a former highway patrol officer, a former school teacher, and did a great presentation. He used PowerPoints with his voice pre-recorded, followed with clarification and used several scenario videos from the Personal Defense Network with Rob Pincus. As far as comfort in carrying and my decisions to, it did little. However, I felt confident in knowing that I knew when and where I could carry, was able to consider and discuss when and how I should react to a situation, and had a solid understanding of the legal responsibility I was accepting.
Now the shooting test....whew that can worry you!! I saw more people who needed more training in just the safe handling of a firearm let alone how to shoot one! And I have heard stories that make me shake my head! I must admit I'm glad we don't have to do as much to renew, however I worry about people that don't take their training seriously not remaining "proficient" with their firearm JMHO!
I do agree though that if you are licensed in one state you should be covered in all! But part of the responsibility is for us to know the law too! So before we travel I check updates in every state I will be in and bookmark the laws in my phone....but that may be another reason to never leave our great state!!
