I am open to the idea of there needing a "license" to carry one in public. That said, I don't know how to separate that from big brother. Maybe split the difference and make it a militia license? It cannot be denied or removed unless there is an open threat or call of violence.

There should be a norm that most gun stores have a firing range and lessons are included with your purchase.  Some stores have ranges and all ranges offer lessons. But I don't know how to enforce that people actually buy the range time and the lesson. In theory the concealed carry permit enforces that, but like most state mandates classes, there is a race to the bottom to minimal content and minimal cost.
