    Default CCW training needed!

    Hello guys, I am transitioning from Law Enforcement to private sector. I live in Adams county and I cannot get in to even request a CCW till march, so I will be without LEO credentials then. I have only worked in law enforcement 5 years so I do not qualify for retired LEO credentials. So, I am looking for the most cost effective way to get training that will meet Adams County requirements for CCW. It is going to be a long enough wait if I sign up in march.

    Spleify is pretty reasonably priced.

    I teach training with Spleify. He and I aren't the cheapest around. But I think we are the best value for the buck. If you are looking for the cheapest option we aren't for you, but if you want some quality effective training at a good price shoot me a PM. Everyone can learn something, no matter how good. Might as well learn while you take care of your requirements for a CCW

    Your LE firearms training will work. Hopefully you have a certificate or two from training that you can present Adams County. If not, ask your firearms instructor to write something up for you.

    Congratulations on moving on to the private sector! Don't look back, you aren't missing anything.

    This isn't directed towards the OP...

    This is for anyone that hasn't had any formal training in firearms.

    Please, for the love of Christ, do not listen to this advice..... This is horrible advice. Hunter safety has nothing to do with CCW.

    Jesus.....

    The OP specifically asked for the most cost effective way to satisfy the firearm training req., and at the time I posted my rediculous suggestion, no one offered a cheaper way of fulfilling his requirements. That's it, I wasn't suggesting anything to anyone else.
    I have since learned it is not accepted though. http://apps.adcogov.org/sheriff/chp/...tRev102213.pdf
    I thought it was funny that Larimer county accepted it when I got mine, of course there isn't any ccw topics covered in a hunting class.

    But in doing some research, there is an actual concealed carry class offered for free. /http://concealedcarryforfree.com/fre...-registration/
    Next course is 2.01.2014, 2 seats available. This "might" work if you can't get your instructor to provide documentation.

    I believe A & B cover you.


    18-12-202.5 "HANDGUN TRAINING CLASS" MEANS:

    (a) A LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING FIREARMS SAFETY COURSE;

    (b) A FIREARMS SAFETY COURSE OFFERED BY A LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, AN INSTITUTION OR ORGANIZATION OR FIREARMS TRAINING SCHOOL, THAT IS OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND IS TAUGHT BY A CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR; OR


    (c) A FIREARMS SAFETY COURSE OR CLASS THAT IS OFFERED AND TAUGHT BY A CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR.

    Shoot J or myself a PM and we would be happy to get you taken care of. We definitely pride ourselves on our superior training.

    And no a hunters saftey course does not qualify you for a CCW.

    Ok, I guess I will try to see if my rangemaster/instructor will write me something up. I will keep you guys posted and Spleify you are on my list if this does not work out.
