Actually, for the complete neophyte, I'd advise them to take additional training. It's impossible to cover all the things one should be really well versed in such a short class, at least that was my experience. The class I took was about 3 hours of lecture with Q&A, and then about four hours at the range. Yes, I (and my wife and nephew) was bored at times but two of my friends who also attended were very much neophytes and they were probably operating on overload, although both enjoyed it very much and had a great time. I learned quite a bit in the classroom portion, mainly having to do with the finer points of Missouri law as it pertains to CCW.
