In the end, this is not a matter of "how much money a business owner can make"; it's a matter of whether or not a person looking to apply for a CCW can learn anything from an on-line course or not.
Not all people absorb materials from training in the same way. Some people learn better with experiential training. Some people learn better with a traditional classroom setting. Some people learn better by self-study. Some people learn better with having a 'talking head' in the classroom. There simply is not a 'one-size-fits-all' when it comes to training. Other factors in determining an optimal training venue include things like a full-time job, along with family considerations. There are so many variations that it only makes sense to me that the person taking the course should be able to make whatever selection works best FOR THEM.

As always - just my POV.
