DETAILS

The course takes approximately two and a half hours to complete. We first go over weapon safety, then discuss the course of fire (Fifty Round D.C.J.S. Certified Course). Once that is finished, we review the HR-218 requirements of the Federal Bill so you know what is expected of you when carrying your weapon out of state. Participants will then go down range for the qualification (minimum of seventy percent). After qualification a photo identification card is issued to the retired officer. This issued card and their police identification card is required to be carried when they are armed.

The cost of this program is seventy-five dollars ($75.00) (Revolver or Semi-Auto). This course can be combined with the N.Y.S. 8-Hour Annual Firearms for Security Guard course for a discounted price of $150.

All participants are REQUIRED to bring their Retired Police ID card, Driver’s License, Pistol License, Weapon of Choice, Magazines, Holster and 50 rounds of Ammunition.
