I am looking for a place to do one near Atlanta. Utah does not require shooting; Where FL requires live fire. I can do one in Woodbury if there is interest. The combined class is NRA First Steps Pistol, Utah and FL. This gives you the book and certificate from the NRA for FL and the "stamp for Utah"
yeah i have checked that list...I emailed harlan, he doesnt offer the class anymore...Scott, i would be interested in doing the class...I theoretically could apply for FL based on my michigan training alone, but im leary abt it since it was 13 months ago...im not sure if there is a statute of limitations on training etc... I called the DoL on FL, there is no statute of limitations...so i should be g2g...
Hey Scott... What kind of training would I need to do for the FLA license? Also how much is the class?
NRA Basic pistol is a safe bet because it is the national standard. Make sure the copy of the certificate is signed by the instructor when you send it in or it will be rejected
I believe a dd-214 works for the training requirement for Florida. Could be wrong, as it's been a while since I looked into it, but I think I recall seeing something about that.
I got this guy's name (Samuel Hayes) off this site while doing a search. I believe he's banned from this forum however I didn't see any complaints about his class. This is the email I got from him, PM me if you want his contact info: Hello, The Utah CCW class that you recently inquired about will be held at: Promenade at Peachtree Apartments Theater Room (Right next to the leasing office) 2432 Johnson Ferry Road Chamblee, GA 30341 . The start time is 11am sharp and will run until approximately 3pm. The class is a 4 hour lecture on Utah law and does not require any live fire activity. The next class will be held on Saturday December 18, 2010. The cost , paid directly to Utah BCI, associated with the process will be discussed in class. The course fee of $50 is paid directly to me. The only form of payment I accept is cash and it is due 1 week prior to the start of class. The remaining costs are Utah 's application fee (found on the Utah BCI website), 2 passport photo's, fingerprinting at your local police department and postage. Each participant is required to print out the application from the Utah BCI website and bring it with them to class.
That is the class I'm taking Saturday for my Utah carry permit. It is also one of the reasons for which I'll be in Atlanta. I don't know if it is illegal to post his contact information and I don't want to be banned as he was. edit: the previous post says two photos, you only need one according to the Utah website.
I don't know, I used my DD-214 to get my Florida permit. I think the Utah class is insufficient because many instructors offer both the Utah and Florida class and charge more when given together. Try an NRA basic pistol course, I think that may work for Florida. Good Luck! edit: You might call FL to see if a hunter's education course will work. Have you looked into a permit from Arizona? They don't require photos and the Utah training course may work, if not hunter's education does according to 13-3112(n). I've been told Arizona issues quickly. Heck I had my FL permit in hand in less than 4 weeks from the date I mailed the application.
Samuel Hayes taught a good class. I would recommend anyone interested to take one of his classes as he teaches classes other than the Utah permit class.
