Firearm and Hunter Safety Card

[Malachi]

Looking to get a non resident ccw permit. Can anyone tell me if my Firearm and Hunter Safety Card from high school will be accepted for the training requirement?

I really can't afford to take a $200 course right now.

Malachi,

For Florida a Hunters Education course would qualify.

Since this is the Arizona forum, I assume the OP is attempting to obtain an Arizona concealed weapon permit. Florida and Wisconsin are irrelevant. Link Removed provides:

An applicant shall demonstrate competence with a firearm through any of the following:

1. Completion of any firearms safety or training course or class that is available to the general public, that is offered by a law enforcement agency, a junior college, a college or a private or public institution, academy, organization or firearms training school and that is approved by the department of public safety or that uses instructors who are certified by the national rifle association.

2. Completion of any hunter education or hunter safety course approved by the Arizona game and fish department or a similar agency of another state.

3. Completion of any national rifle association firearms safety or training course.

4. Completion of any law enforcement firearms safety or training course or class that is offered for security guards, investigators, special deputies or other divisions or subdivisions of law enforcement or security enforcement and that is approved by the department of public safety.

5. Evidence of current military service or proof of honorable discharge or general discharge under honorable conditions from the United States armed forces.

6. A valid current or expired concealed weapon, firearm or handgun permit or license that is issued by another state or a political subdivision of another state and that has a training or testing requirement for initial issuance.

7. Completion of any governmental police agency firearms training course and qualification to carry a firearm in the course of normal police duties.

8. Completion of any other firearms safety or training course or class that is conducted by a department of public safety approved or national rifle association certified firearms instructor.

Hunter education or hunter safety courses qualify under paragraph 2 of that subsection. So, yes, the OP's hunter safety card will fulfill Arizona's demonstratuin of competence with a firearm requirement.

Thank you all for the input.

I'll go ahead and apply for my arizona card then.

Oh, one more thing. Does it matter that I took this course, and got certificate, when I was in Jr High and am now 39, so about 25 years ago? Is there a requirement that it be recent?

Sorry, I just don't want to spend more money than I have to.

Link Removed prescribes no time limit.
