RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

5N-1.134Licensed Firearms Instructors; Schools or Training Facilities; License Application

The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Licensing announces a hearing to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME: October 22, 2013, 10:00 a.m.

PLACE: Betty Easley Conference Center, Capital Circle Office Center, 4075 Esplanade Way, Tallahassee, Florida

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: This proposed rule will adopt a slightly revised version of the Firearms Instructors Training Manual. Because of the tremendous increase in the nation-wide demand for weapons in recent years and the resulting shortage of ammunition, licensed security officers and private investigators and the agencies that employ these individuals have faced a hardship in finding the ammunition needed to complete the annual re-qualification training specified in the Firearms Instructors Training Manual. While the 28-hour classroom and range requirements for the initial issuance of the statewide firearm license will remain in place, this proposed rule revision will decrease the number of rounds to be fired during the annual re-qualifying training, thus reducing a significant burden on individuals and agencies in the regulated industries.
