Not stating anything what so every about how good the mandatory training is. But the CCW training I personally received was decent. Back when I had to take it, it was two days. One day in the classroom, one day on the range. One woman in our class did not pass. But at least I know in Ohio, anyone who has a CCW/CHL has at least shot a gun.
This is basically how I feel about driver's licenses. You probably wouldn't want a slew of people running around with a driver's license who have never drove a car before, right? There will be of course people that naturally excel, and some will probably even seek further defensive driving/open track training. Even if the average 16yr old doesn't not drive great right out of driver's ed, they at least have some experience.
