It gave the wrong answer on one of the questions. I've noticed this often with the other LD's.

Quiz #1 is formatted wrong. Questions do not align with answers. Quiz itself has questions related to topics not covered in the module at all.

The lecture goes way too past and I keep having to replay certain clips to retain all the info. I also wish that each slide had pictures of the prohibited weapons. Overall good information.
