Documentation of Competence with a Handgun
What is the cheapest and easiest course to take/complete to satisfy VA's requirement for documented evidence of competence with a handgun? I'm guessing a basic NRA handgun class is the way to go, but where can one take them in the Baltimore area? How much should I expect to pay?

When I got my Virgina non resident permit they accepted my Maryland training card the one I got when I bought my first regulated firearm.

+1. Just used the certificate I got after watching the Gun Store Training Video. They have an On Line version as well. VA seems to accept this. FL no longer does apparently.

This is the one I took. It's online, you print the certificate when it's complete. VA accepted it for my resident CHP.

I took an NRA "First Steps" course at Continental in Baltimore. It was a long time ago, can't remember the cost, but here's site where you can look up available courses:
http://www.nrainstructors.org/searchcourse.aspx In MD you can simply watch the video instead, but the course is a much better introduction depending on your skill level. Plus you get a little range time and some shooting tips, as well as the ability to ask questions. |

If you're a hunter then the MD Hunters Safety Course qualifies.

I know this is an old thread, but I figured it'd be worthwhile to have the information together.
My girlfriend is a Lieutenant in the Navy and is going to be stationed in Norfolk starting this summer. She's a dentist, so pistol/rifle qualifications are pretty much optional. Her permanent residence is still WV, so I assume she'd need an out of state carry permit. Would proof of her commission be enough to meet the training requirement, or would she need to prove that she passed the pistol qualification too? |

From the WV AG site:
Quote:
It does look, however, that she has to go back to her county sheriff to get the permit taken care of. Quote:

For the next few weeks, she's stationed at NNMC Bethesda. She plans on keeping her official residence as WV, but doesn't actually plan on going back there for any length of time for a while, which is why I was asking about the VA out of state permit (looking at my post now, I wasn't clear about that).
I guess I should also be asking if her not having a WV permit has any effect on her being able to get a VA permit. Logistically speaking, it's a lot easier for her to get the out of state VA permit than the WV permit. There is a base in Norfolk that will qualify her with the pistol, so I don't that will be too much of a problem. |

She can get the VA permit with multiple easy options. But would be doubtful if WV would accept it for a WV resident. ( Maybe so, but does she want to volenteer to be test case?)
Best bet is get VA non res now ( if only for greater reciprosity to other states), and next time otherwise visit home County of Record in WV pick up forms then. |

She'll still need the training course for the VA Non-res. She can hook up with Par-Break and knock out the requirements at On Target.
I might be able to get her pistol qualified since she's active duty, but I bet that will take longer than just going through Bryan. She can not carry in WV on a VA non-resident permit if she is still a WV resident. No way around that in the current law. __________________ Maryland Shall Issue is what stands between your rights and those that wish to infringe upon them. Why aren't you a member?

Nick, as I look at this, just the fact that she's active duty might be enough to get her through on the training requirement:
