The ten hour course is too long. It isn't supposed to include range time, fingerprinting, photos, lunch, waiting around for other people to shoot (and do fingerprints, photos, filling out forms, etc), but every person I have talked to who took a one day course has had this.

There is no good way to do a one day "all inclusive" 10 hour course, but that's what people want to buy, and that's what is being sold.

Even with all the extra time wasted on things other than instructional class time, there doesn't seem to be enough requried material to fill up 10 hours. My wife and I had two different instructors, and both of them spent the last hour or two of class randomly browsing youtube and showing vaguely gun related videos.

There also needs to be more emphasis from the state on making sure the instructors actually understand the laws. The amount of bad advice given out by my instructor, and the bad advice I've seen people talking about on forums that they got in their classes is sort of outrageous. Just a look at the debates over the law that get posted and reposted on this forum should be a clue that the classes are failing at what should be one of their core tasks.

Meh.
