First, the training certificate is not a license, although you could view it as such. Second, the government would make no money on the training certificate, NRA/Cleet instructors would, or gun shops that offered the class through an NRA/Cleet instructor.

The reason for doing what he did is two fold: 1) Having separate laws for OC and CC make it easier. States that have the two tied together have more problems than those that have separate permits (According to Russell) 2) Having a training certificate that costs far less than the CCL would allow more people to take advantage of the ability to open carry. The approximate $200 fee can be a lot of money to some people, especially retired persons who are on a very limited income.

I wouldn't expect them to say the those with a CCL are already covered as the training in the SDA class in regards to safety is about zero. The class covers the law a bit, and all you have to do is squeeze the trigger with the muzzle in a fairly safe direction. Nothing about safety is required.

What's the next big hurdle, date or event in the process of this getting approved?

And, as far as the training thing, has anyone began to anticipate the instructor certification process? I'd suspect that many CC instructors will want to offer it.

Next hurdle is it coming the the Senate floor. Unfortunately this can come at any time after Senators Treat and Russell work out the amendments they want on the bill. At some point I imaging there will be a request for a conference committee to bring this bill and SB1733 together for approval. Once it gets to the conference committee, that committee could reset the language back to the original language and then go back to the floor of both houses for approval.

I have not had a chance to read the amendment, but I imagine it is identical to SB1092, which just said a NRA safety class or a Cleet class. The instructor would have to keep a log and issue you a card. CC instructors could put this into their class as long as they were also NRA or CLEET instructors.

I understand where Sen Russell is coming from. My Ex can't afford the permit. She's just budgeted to tightly. I did give her a little .380 to protect herself and my daughters. (No worries, we get along great..lol)
