So the general consensus among INGOers (at least the highly vocal ones) is that a required training class is somehow full of badness and evil. The most valid reasons being it is expensive to take a class and off course "rights are free."
What if the current method (months of waiting, $125+ lifetime permit) were traded for something like this:
$175 for a class and permit:
1. Arrive for the class and fill out paperwork for the permit.
2. Take the basic safety class including an hour if range time.
3. The background checks are performed WHILE YOU WAIT.
4. Assuming you don't shoot yourself, the permit is handed to you on the way out the door.
Would you pay the extra $50 and go through a couple hours of instruction for an hour of range time and and immediate gratification of the permit?
My guess is that scheduling may become an issue.
Please, no rants about Rights, thats not what this is about. I'm just curious what people would trade for the perceived inconvenience.
