"Lloyd E. Sponenburgh" lloydspinsidemindspring.com quickly quoth:

I audited an NRA handgun safety course Saturday that my wife was
attending for her concealed permit.

I was appalled. The instructor was a really nice fellow, and obviously
an experienced shooter, but his course was inadequate to the nth degree.

I recommend an anonymous call to the NRA department who staffs those
classes to recommend that they audit it, too.

--snip of horror story--

Can it really BE that gun classes have devolved to this level? If so,
what hope have we that the liberalocrats won't finally strip all the
metal from our hands?

My concealed carry class wasn't anything like that and we went
shooting with our own guns at the local range for a test. He wanted to
make damned sure that all of us were following his safety instructions
in the flesh and that all of us could competently handle a pistol on
the range. It was first class all the way.
