You can have a concealed carry permit without ever having touched a firearm in your life. You can be walking around with a gun on your hip without ever having fired one. That's part of what makes the situation of police different, in that they have actual training requirements.
the massachusetts concealed carry license requires a approved firearms training course, which also includes a qualifying score on a live fire range. Mass is also a 'may issue' state where licenses are rarely given. so your information is a bit inaccurate.
the texas course I took is an 8 hour course with just a qualifying score at the end of it. MOST firearms courses for licenses across the country are 99% about teaching people the laws concerning carrying, it's expected that a person already knows how to shoot and the qualifying score is an example of that.
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
