Agreed. I compared it to sex ed, but my wife mad ea more apt comparison to driver's ed. There would be a classroom portion that would be talking about general firearm safety and whatnot, but if you had any desire to purchase, own, carry, a firearm there would be a require practical portion. A "behind the sights" if you will. This way it does not require anyone that may be against firearms to actually have to handle one and separating out those two things provides an avenue for those that may not have had instruction to take it in a separate place from the school.
