If an “accident” during training is the trainer’s fault, the trainer is already liable in civil court and possibly in criminal court: this is a mask for getting rid of training.
That particular bill was to repeal a law passed last year that gave NRA-certified instructors limited liability for accidents during a firearms class instead of absolute liability that would normally apply for gun owners. This bill was the first salvo in the anti-gunners assault on the 2nd amendment this year, so it was a big deal for us to show how organized our opposition could be.
