Staff Analysis of the Legislation

This legislation requires the sheriff to provide handgun education that meets state guidelines free of charge at least once every sixty days to those seeking firearm carry permits.  Individuals seeking a firearm carry license or renewal must complete this training requirement.  ACCG has no position on the training, but opposes the mandate that Sheriffs, thus county coffers, provide it for free of charge.
