I have one thing now that I have been to class... waste of time! Or poor instructors.

I had talked to two people who'd done the class and they'd said it was long and boreing. So I was prepared... but not as much as I could have been. We spent about 3hrs just doing silly things like finger prints and photos. Two people go, rest of us sit, two go rest sit. There was about 14 people total of which 10 were renewals. Once they went to do their shooting test we just sat and watched some silly "after school special" like video about a kid who got a gun. Then we were let go for lunch. The 4 of us filled out some forms, of which some did ahead of time so they sat. Our instructor even showed us stupid tazer or pepper spray videos on youtube, not that he had any in mind he was just surfing and found some. In all the "class" could have been 5hrs which would have included a more effective use of picture and finger print time, we'd have spent more time in the book going over things, more time with this situation would have got you in trouble, this one wouldn't have. We'd have take the shooting and written test and been done. I found a lot of the time was nothing but just sitting to fulfill some state 10hr quota regardless that the instructor didn't have anything to do.

Maybe I just got a bad one, maybe this is how most of the classes go but if the word gets out I can see why people wouldn't want to go.
