If you are a retired Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) and wish to qualify under the HR 218 LEOSA guidelines, then this is the class for you. 

Under HR 218, you, as a retired LEO, would be afforded the ability to carry your concealed firearm in any state in the US, with very few exceptions. 

For the full text of HR 218, click here: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c107:H.R.218 

NOTE: This course is only a qualification course for Article 35 (Use of Force) and the firearms portion. As provided in the HR 218 Federal law, you will be provided a card that states you have qualified with a specified type of firearm, on an approved course. NO claims will be made as to what states or area will or will not honor the qualification. 

This is a 50 round course where you will shoot from the 25, 15, 7, and 3 yd markers. Please review the required equipment list below. 

This training session will certify you to carry either a semi-auto or a revolver. If you wish to be cleared for BOTH, we will have to run a qualification on the other type as well. Time permitting, this can be done during the same session. Otherwise, we will have to arrange a time to complete the second qualification.
