I was so impressed the the entire process I felt compelled to let others of the great course that was available to those who were interested.

Since there seems to be two “sides” in this thread, I suspect that I will not be able to get accurate answers to these questions—from either side—including from the recommended website. However, these are questions that I am left with, which are only in relation to the instructional program and based only on this OP, not any of the “debate” that follows:
1. Does a six-hour classroom course plus an hour on the range (presumably practicing shooting) followed by an exam qualify an “inexperienced shooter” to actually be in a position where he or she might need (or “feel the need”) to use a concealed weapon?
2. What are the differences between a course for an “inexperienced shooter” and one for an “experienced shooter”? Is the first course longer in classroom time than the second? What is the experienced shooter learning that the inexperienced shooter is not? And since what the experienced shooter is learning must be valuable, then why not simply have one course so that everyone prepared to use a concealed weapon learns the same things?
3. Why are “courses for women only taught by a female instructor”? Are there gender differences in the instruction or in the application of what is taught? If so, what are they?
