Once licensed, each Class “G” licensee must also submit proof annually that he or she has received a minimum of 4 hours of firearms requalification training taught by a Class “K” instructor during each year of the license period. Additionally, a Class “G” licensee whose job duties require him or her to carry a firearm of a type and caliber different from or in addition to the firearm upon which he or she is qualified, must take a 4-hour training class specific to that firearm’s type and caliber. This Firearms Training Manual (FTM) establishes the minimum training criteria for each course.  \nThe FTM consists of two separate but related parts: the Student Handbook and Study Guide , FDACS P- 02079, eff. 09/16 (Student Handbook), and the Instructor’s Guide, FDACS P- 02078, eff. 06/16 . The Student Handbook includes the essential material that each student is expected to learn: laws and rules governing firearms ownership and possession, legal aspects of liability and use of deadly force, and mechanical operation and safe handling of a firearm. The Instructor’s Guide is an educational tool that will guide the instructor in conducting each course, by identifying the specific educational objectives of each lesson and providing a list of exercises and activities that will help ensure those objectives are met. Both the Student Handbook and the Instructor’s Guide also include specific details concerning the course of fire that each student must successfully complete.  \nWhile the FTM includes lesson material on various legal aspects of firearms ownership, possession, and use (including liability and use of deadly force), the firearms training material in both the Student Handbook and Instructor’s Guide are derived from the Florida Basic Recruit Training Program’s High Liability Course used by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and approved by FDLE's Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission (CJSTC) for use in administering firearms training to basic recruits beginning their entry into the ranks of law enforcement. Insofar as this training is the accepted standard used to prepare recruits for careers in law enforcement, it is the division's position that this training represents the benchmark of excellence with respect to firearms training. Therefore, it is appropriate that this training be used to prepare security officers, private investigators, interns, and agency managers to carry firearms while performing regulated duties .  \nThe FTM does not address every aspect of carrying a firearm by a licensed security officer or private investigator. Additional time should be taken to familiarize yourself with all of the equipment you will use while performing licensed activity-including holsters and magazine or speed loader pouches, etc.– and to ensure that such equipment is compatible with your firearm. Each student should, if possible, use the holster and reloading equipment he or she will be using during regulated activities when performing the course of fire exercises contained in the training program. If you are issued or purchase new or different holsters or reloading equipment in the future, you are encouraged to spend time at a firing range in order to familiarize yourself with the equipment and its operation and security features.  \nTable of Contents  \nIntroduction ....","cbCaipJNUuWlFQ8c","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipJNUuWlFQ8c","pdf",3891420,191,"English","# Introduction\n## About the Firearms Training Manual (FTM)\n# Table of Contents\n## 28-Hour Initial Qualification Course Summary and Overview\n## 4-Hour Annual Handgun Requalification/Transition Course Summary and Overview\n## 4-Hour (Re)qualification Shotgun Course Summary and Overview\n## 4-Hour (Re)qualification Rifle Course Summary and Overview\n# SECTION 1 LEGAL\n## Unit 1: Legal Issues\n### Lesson 1: Security Officer and Private Investigator Licensure\n### Lesson 2: Definitions and Legal Concepts\n### Lesson 3: Use of Force\n## Case Studies\n# SECTION 2 FIREARMS TRAINING\n## Unit 1: Firearms Safety\n### Lesson 1: Firearms Safety Procedures\n## Unit 2: Firearms Familiarization\n### Lesson 1: Revolver\n### Lesson 2: Semiautomatic Pistol\n### Lesson 3: Shotgun","[{\"question\":\"What training is required for a Class “G” Statewide Firearm License applicant in Florida?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants must satisfy minimum training criteria established by rule, including 28 hours of range and classroom training taught and administered by a Class “K” instructor.\"},{\"question\":\"How often must Class “G” licensees complete requalification training?\",\"answer\":\"Each year of the license period, each Class “G” licensee must submit proof of at least 4 hours of firearms requalification training taught by a Class “K” instructor.\"},{\"question\":\"When is transition training required for Class “G” licensees?\",\"answer\":\"If job duties require carrying a firearm type and caliber different from or in addition to the firearm on which they were qualified, the licensee must take a 4-hour training class specific to that firearm’s type and caliber.\"}]","Firearms Training Manual - Student Handbook and Study Guide | PDF",1790730249,481]
