Three GREAT points!

I have no idea what the classes are like in other locations, but in Texas, most of the class is about the legal ramifications/implications.

I'm sure his daughter would not be one of those folks, but I see too many videos of morons with guns that use them when they shouldn't or get themselves into situations that they probably figured "it's OK, I've got a gun."
