I take the class to comply with the legislated requirement - I do not get anything out of renewal classes.

Seriously.

In a typical class, something like 95% of the material is pure common sense or consists of legislative idiosyncracies you ought to be able to pick up just by reading (or even skimming) the DPS literature, and the other 5% is mis-stated by the instructor. The written test is easy to pass. Ditto the shooting test.

I can see a plausible argument for a new picture, but my fingerprints don't change between renewals.

If anything, renewal should be like renewing a driver's license, perhaps with a NICS check added. Wasting more of my time, adding more "busywork" and expense is not something I would support.
