SB346,1,3 1An Act to repeal 175.60 (4) (b) 2.; to renumber 175.60 (4) (b) 1.; and to amend
2175.60 (4) (a) 1. a., b., c., d. and e. of the statutes; relating to: training
3requirements for a license to carry a concealed weapon.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires that a person who applies to the Department of Justice for a
license to carry a concealed weapon undergo at least eight hours of training, one hour
of which involves shooting range experience. Current law requires training for
licensure but does not specify duration and also prohibits DOJ from requiring that
live ammunition be fired as part of the training requirement.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
