Debatable, I guess. The "training" that they require in TN, at least
as administered here in Knox county, is laughable. The written test
is practically answered question by question by the instructor. The
firing test is about as hard as it would be for me to hit a stationary
bus parked 10 feet from me.

Yeah. Those people are stupid for the most part. Pointing and
shooting aren't really that difficult, though. Knowing when to do it
is the part that require some intelligence. Hitting what you aim at
requires a modicum of skill, coordination, and practice.
