Classroom Training:

During your eight hours of classroom training, you will learn moral and legal aspects of firearms use, firearms nomenclature, weapons handling and shooting fundamentals, and emergency procedures.

Academic Standards:

Upon completion of classroom instruction for the Initial Firearm Training, the instructor is to administer and the student must pass the written examination with a score of 85% or better (44 correct out of possible 51 questions). If a student fails to pass the written examination, he or she must repeat the entire classroom instruction before retaking the written examination. (Business and Professions Code Section 7585.6(c))

Renewals:

Firearm permits expire two years from the date of issuance. Applicants must re-qualify four times during the life of the permit: twice during the first year after the date of issuance, and twice during the second year. Re-qualifications must be at least four months apart. The application for renewal should be submitted to the Bureau 60 days before the firearms permit expires. The current fee for renewing a firearm permit is $98.00. If you have allowed your firearms permit to expire you may not renew it and must re-apply as if it were your initial application for the firearms permit.
