Yes, I do believe that people who are issued CWP's should have to undergo minimal trainin, and it so happens that is a pre-requisite. Handguns are no more difficult to operate than powertools. Applicants are instructed on the basic rules of gun safety, familiarized with the two basic types of handgun, briefed on the rules of deadly force and the restrictions on when and where they may legally carry their guns, and given a token amount of range time to actually fire their guns. Most firearms instructors will also advise that permit holders practice regularly and what types of ammo are suitable for defensive purposes...and thats about it. Its not rocket science, and the average citizen does not require more advanced trainin. Thats good enough for me!

The people who actually apply for and and are granted permits are honest, law-abidin, hard-workin folks who cherish their Second Amendment Rights and universally reject the culture of victimhood and helplessness that society pushes. They understand how foolhardy it is to rely on the police for protection from the criminal element, and that the personal safety of their families and loved ones ultimately rests with themselves.
