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.

The problem is that you are an intelligent person and all that is common sense which you as an individual grasps. But couldn't you easily write a 4 or 5 step bulleted pointed list on driving? Would you be happy with that? The point he is making is pretty logical. If you buy a gun you have to be safe with it and you should be tested and trained.
The 2nd amendment discusses a "well regulated militia". Can you have a well regulated militia with untrained shooters?
