Did anyone notice on that page that Live Fire has been added to the HQL training requirement?Not to worry. The MSP has already made an arbitrary decision to remove the active duty and retired military/national guard exemption requiring the HQL. Despite SB281 being quite specific in this regard, I guess the MSP decided they can just rewrite those parts of the law they don't agree with and remove one of the class distinctions.

See the "Exceptions to possession of the HQL License" description.
(4) Operation and Handling Demonstration. Orientation component that demonstrates the person’s safe operation and handling of a firearm, to include a “live fire” component in which the applicant safely shoots the weapon. An applicant may not be required to fire in excess of 15 yards during qualifications.
How is that supposed to work when one cannot "receive" a handgun without an HQL?
