Specifies classroom instruction must cover safe storage and handling, ammunition knowledge, shooting positions, firearms law (taught by attorney or use-of-force trained individual), criminal attack avoidance, and state concealed carry laws.

Requires training certificates to include instructor name and phone number, certifying organization name and phone number, instructor certification number, and certification expiration date on the face or attached document.

Makes it a felony punishable by up to 4 years imprisonment or $2,500 fine for instructors to issue completion certificates knowing the applicant did not satisfactorily complete the course, or for applicants to present false certificates to county clerks.
