8 hour "training" class. Which they basically said to don't point it at people and don't load it while it's pointed at your head.

Then wait 4 months for approval of signed authentic certificate for the state.

Then get 10 references from friends and family plus a designated list of the person the stuff goes to if I die.

Then wait for the sherriffs dept to eat 100 pounds of donuts before they register your finger prints, 1st born, nipple size, and porn history.

Then wait 6 months to 1-1/2 years for judge to approve license

Then have a max of 30 days to find a gun, get the background check, and purchase gun. Otherwise all of your hard work is void.
