Summary


Proposed rule amendments update firearms training for Class “G” applicants and licensees by requiring use of and incorporating, both a Firearms Training Manual Student Handbook and a Firearms Training Manual Instructor Guide. Firearms training will focus on the laws governing firearms ownership and possession, legal aspects of liability, and use of deadly force, as well as the mechanical operation and safe handling of a firearm. Also proposed is new rule 5N-1.132, which codifies guidelines for Class “G” firearms initial qualification, requalification, and qualification for other types and calibers of firearms, and Class “K” instructor requirements. Finally, a revised version of the Certificate of Firearms Proficiency for Statewide Firearm License is incorporated into the proposed new rule.
