Sorry not going to happen. Some of this stuff you need to accept personal responsibility for. "Requiring" anything past the laws and the basics is stupid. You can't teach everything in a 6-8 hour class as it is.
Failure to safely handle a gun resulting in yours or someone else is not the failure of an instructor. No matter HOW MUCH we stress gun safety.

I like this.
I've always thought that if you can't figure out how to take a **** on your own, you probably shouldn't be carrying a gun.

Leave it holstered, and do not use the grip of your weapon to manipulate your pants. Back up to the toilet. Unbuckle your belt. Using your weak hand, pull the loose ends of your belt away from your body and hold snug. Using your strong hand, undo your drawers and drop them to just above your knees. Sit down. Buckle your belt at the first notch. Spread your legs a little to keep it snug while your take care of business. Problem solved.

Both of these techniques have served me well for many years now.

None of my carry guns have any type of manual safety. I haven't shot myself one single, solitary time while using the toilet.
As others have said, just don't pull the trigger.
