The instructional methodology used to teach firearms training to Class “G” licensees is currently under review by the Division of Licensing. Presently, the Division utilizes a Firearms Instructor’s Training Manual which comprises the minimum firearms training criteria taught by Class “K” instructors to Class “G” applicants and licensees to satisfy the twenty-eight hour initial training and four- hour yearly requalification training required by Chapter 493, Florida Statutes. Proposed changes include a new Firearms Training Manual consisting of two separate but related parts: a Student Handbook and Study Guide and an Instructor Guide. The Student Handbook includes the essential material each student is expected to master. The Instructor Guide is an educational tool that will guide the instructor in conducting firearms training courses by identifying the educational objectives of each lesson and providing a list of exercises and activities that will help ensure those objectives are met. The material and methods included in the newly proposed Firearms Training Manual are derived in large part from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (as approved by the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission) for use in teaching law enforcement recruits basic firearms skills and techniques. Also under consideration is a new firearms training rule outlining Class “G” firearms qualification requirements for initial licensure, annual requalification, and transition courses for other approved firearms, along with instruction requirements for Class “K” licensees. The following conference call line has been set up for parties unable to attend the workshop in person: 1-888-670-3525; participants should use passcode 9827504259, followed by # when prompted.
