Excuse me if there’s another thread on this but I’m not on this forum often.
I get we all need to sit tight and see what happens with the licensing laws / carry classification but in the meantime this class thing is never going to go away.
I find it completely unacceptable that of the two places I found offering this 18 hr class on LI, they are charging $800 and what it has to be retaken every three years?
I don’t care what kind of instructor you are they should be doing everything to facilitate this process not impeded.
why are the classes in western New York and upstate ranging from $110-$340?
that being said does anybody know where else we could take the class?
please excuse the rant my PTSD is very agitated because of this.
thx
Steve
I would image with you being a veteran you might be able to be exempt from taking the training - OR - submit proof of already completing similar approved training to get credit towards it
Not sure what branch you were in but se attached.
Might need a letter from your superior stating that you've taken training before.
