 COURSE DESCRIPTION: NYS CONCEALED CARRY FIREARM SAFETY TRAINING

 The New York State Concealed carry firearms safety training requires (16) hours of -in-person live classroom instruction and (2) hours of live-fire training by Duly Authorized Instructors.   Safety Quest Limited is authorized to provide this instruction.  A certificate will be issued upon completion of the NYS required 18 hours of training. 

(16) Hour In-Person Classroom Instruction Consists of:

• General firearm safety
• Firearm safety storage
• NYS and Federal gun laws
• Concealed Carry situational awareness – firearm display and concealment
• Conflict de-escalation tactics
• Adverse alcohol and drug effects and firearm safety
• Best practices when encountering law enforcement
• Statutorily defined sensitive and restrictive places
• Conflict management
• Use of deadly physical force
• Suicide prevention
• Basic principles of marksmanship

 Following completion of the (16) hour in-person classroom instruction each student must score a minimum of 80% on a NYS required written test covering the course curriculum.

All individuals who take this course are required to qualify with a minimum of seventy percent (70%) on a fifty round shooting course (minimum passing is 35 rounds within the designated target area). All participants after listening to the “Use of Force” lecture and review will take a ten question test with a minimum passing grade of seventy percent (70%). It is required that all participants bring their current N.Y.S. Security License and pistol permit when they come to class. The cost of this program is one hundred dollars ($100.00) for qualification with two weapons. Each additional weapon is twenty-five dollars ($25.00)

POLICY CHANGE:   Going forward we will have a single price for HR-218 Qualification ($75.00).  When you qualify with a Semi-Auto or a Revolver your card will say "Law Enforcement Type of Weapon". 

You will be able to carry a REVOLVER OR SEMI-AUTOMATIC concealed, under HR-218, no matter what type of weapon you qualified with.  The Federal Law permits this, and we are going to follow the lead of other law enforcement agencies who have changed their policies.  Remember, N.Y.S. ARMED SECURITY requires you to qualify with the weapon or weapons that you wish to carry while on duty as a guard.

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. Security Guard Annual Firearms renewal course for a discounted price.  All participants are REQUIRED to bring their Retired Police ID card, Pistol License, Weapon(s) of Choice, Magazines, Holster and 50 rounds of Ammunition for each weapon.
