I always wonder about all this "training".
Here's all you need to know:
1. Don't ever point it at anybody.
2. Keep it somewhere safe.
3. Make sure the safety is on when not in use.
4. Practice your aim (unless you own a shotgun like me, then all you have to do is point it in the general direction)
What else is there to be "trained" for? It ain't brain surgery. It's just a gun, very simple to use and common sense dictates most of what you need to know.
It ain't like anybody is being "trained" for black ops or the navy seals. My shotgun required no "training". My grandfather showed me everything I need to know when he and I would go shooting in the woods starting at around age 6.
