Eligibility Requirements

To apply for a Class “G” license, you must be at least 18 years old.

 

Citizenship Requirements

You must be either a U.S. citizen or a permanent legal resident alien to qualify

for a Class “G” license, and you must provide documentation confirming your citizenship status.

 

If you were born in the United States, submit a copy of your birth

certificate, U.S. passport, Social Security card, driver license, state-issued ID card, or voter registration card.

 

If you are a naturalized citizen, submit a copy of your U.S. passport or the official document issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services indicating that you are a naturalized citizen.

Training

An applicant for a Class “G” license must submit proof of having completed an

initial course of instruction that includes 28 hours of classroom and range

training pertaining to the use of firearms in connection with duties regulated

under Chapter 493, Florida Statutes (F.S.).

The 28-hour course curriculum is outlined here:

 

Legal Aspects of Use of Firearms — 12 hours

This section of the course covers applicable portions of

chapters 493, 775, 776 and 790, F.S., as well as civil and criminal liability

issues in connection with the use of firearms.

 

Operational Firearms Safety and Firearms Mechanical Training — 8 to 11 hours

This portion of the curriculum is intended to provide students with a

comprehensive understanding of the mechanical operations of a firearm and

how to handle firearms safely. A written examination of 100 questions will be

administered covering the portions of the curriculum dealing with legal use

and operational/mechanical training.

 

Firearms Qualification — 8 hours*

This segment of the training course includes practical exercises in the

handling of firearms — stance, grip, sighting, etc. — as well as topics

pertaining to range safety and range commands. The instructor will require

students to fire 144 rounds as part of the firearms qualification for initial

licensure (48 rounds of practice fire plus two cycles of 48 rounds for initial

qualification). No more than eight hours of the 28 hours of training shall

consist of range training.

 

*A Class “K” instructor can, at their discretion, administer as few as five hours

of range qualification training if the student demonstrates sufficient mastery of

the core principles of safe firearms handling (to include shooting a qualifying

score) without the full eight hours of range training. However, reducing the

number of hours of range training will require teaching additional hours

elsewhere in the curriculum so that the cumulative total of firearms training

amounts to 28 hours as required by Section 493.6105(5), F.S.

 

Annual Renewal Training

To maintain licensure, the Class “G” license holder must complete four hours

of requalifying training each year . The annual training course

shall consist of a review of the curriculum topics listed above as part of the

initial training requirements to include any recent changes in the law. License

holders will be required to achieve a passing score on a cycle of fire

consisting of 48 rounds. If the license holder fails to achieve a passing score

after three attempts, they will be instructed to seek additional remedial training

and schedule another requalification attempt at a later date.
