Overview

RULE:

5N-1.134

Schools or Training Facilities, License Application; Exemptions

PURPOSE:

This proposed rule will adopt a slightly revised version of the Firearms Instructors Training Manual.  The revised version of the manual will bring relief to the armed security guards and private investigators that are licensed under Chapter 493, Florida Statutes.  Because of the tremendous increase in the nation-wide demand for weapons in recent years and the resulting shortage of ammunition, licensed security officers and private investigators and the agencies that employ these individuals have faced a hardship in finding the ammunition needed to complete the annual re-qualifying training specified in the Firearms Instructors Training Manual.  What limited ammunition that is available is extremely expensive, thus only exacerbating the hardship on the regulated industries.  While the 28-hour classroom and range requirements for the initial issuance of a statewide firearm license will remain in place, this proposed rule revision will decrease the number of rounds to be fired during the annual re-qualifying training, thus reducing a significant burden on individuals and agencies in the regulated industries.

SUBJECT:

Re-qualifying firearms training for individuals who hold Class "G" Statewide Firearm Licenses.
