    I don’t know if they changed it, I think they did, but I just did rpal and it was very hands on.

    We went through actually practicing safe storage, different locking mechanisms, cases, all major handgun actions, etc. There was a very strong focus on handling and storing them safely.

    I will agree the tests weren’t super hard.

      It might vary depend on where you were taught and resources available. My instructor had all sorts of types of firearms out and we had hands-on time with all of them; but we only talked about the storage requirements
