I think that was entropy's point as well.
I, for one, oppose government mandated hunter safety classes as it is.
The idea that someone is a safer hunter after having gone to a 4-6 hour class is ridiculous.
The $25-$30 fee is the primary reason for the class requirement.
So I agree, I oppose required hunter safety classes, seat-belt law, helmet laws etc but at the same time, and this is very cynical and sad to say, people in general are pretty dumb and need all the help they can get. So the libertarian in me says not to require a hunter safety course but my experience hunting public land has me saying a required college level course on hunting might not be a bad idea for some of these yahoos. Reality and principals don't always go well together...
