Prior restraint generally means that you must get the goverments permission before doing something. For example, we have to have background checks when purchasing a firearm. We don't need to have a background check to exercise free speech, or to be able to exercise our 4th or 5th amendment rights. In the example of the 1st amendment,we don't wear gags and can only speak after getting permission. One certainly can yell "fire" in a crowded theatre, but there will be later consequences to that action.
In my example, one can carry without any training whatsoever, with only a small consequence. At that time the person can still choose whether or not to get the training.
I don't see why something so simple asa hunters safety card couldn't qualify you for the Certificate of training.
Not ideal, but better than some permit options.

Interesting. I read it the first time and it did not make sense to me (over my head I think, I'm slow at times). If there is no prior restraint, what authorizes them to fine you $50? Maybe I am misunderstanding "prior restraint".
