Yeah, good luck with that in some states. In Virginia you can walk into a gun shop on your 21st birthday without ever having handled a firearm before in your life and purchase a handgun. You can then carry your butt to the courthouse and turn in your paperwork for your concealed carry permit (showing your hunter education safety course certificate which requires zero hands on time with a firearm and zero time outside for that matter) and be granted the permit as a shall issue state.
All of this without ever having had any sort of training or experience in handling a firearm before in your life. You can now lawfully carry a concealed handgun with you.
