CCW 16hour course exemption?

AliasNeo07 · Mar 16, 2015

I saw that MDSP lists this as an exemption for training:

5) You have successfully completed a firearms training course given by a Qualified Handgun Instructor. (The on-line firearm safety course is no longer accepted).

Would NRA First Steps Pistol qualify? I took this just to satisfy the requirements of an out of state permit. I know how to shoot and would rather not sit through a 16 hour class if I can avoid it.

Thanks all.

Highly doubt it.. There's a list of items that's needed to be on the lesson.

I sort of doubted it too, but I did not see such a list so I figured I'd ask.

First steps is listed as a 4 hour class. NO WAY.Doesn't work in my opinion the NRA basic pistol class should count for 8 hours of your training provided that the other 8 give you the additional material.

Won't let me link their page

Wear and Carry Permit training is 16 hours of instruction for an original application and 8 hours of instruction for a renewal application. The approved training is offered by a Qualified Handgun Instructor and will include instruction on state firearm law, home firearm safety, handgun mechanisms and operation, and a component that requires the applicant to demonstrate gun safety and proficiency with a minimum score of 70% accuracy.

Designated security personnel (security guards, private detectives, special police, and armored car drivers/guards) must shoot a practical police course of at least 50 rounds, from no further than 25 yards and score at least 70% accuracy.

All other applicants must shoot a course of at least 25 rounds, from no further than 15 yards and score at least 70% accuracy.

Remember , it's not about you becoming competant , it's about throwing up roadblocks to discourage applicants. Until 2013 when Permits were only on the horizon for the privledged and the political , non-profesionals had zero training requirements , and that had worked w/o issue for 41 years.
