How often must a licensee or employee requalify in firearms use?

A licensee or employee must requalify in firearms use once every twelve months to ensure they maintain proficiency and are up to date with safety standards and regulations. This annual requalification is essential for demonstrating an ongoing ability to handle firearms safely and effectively, which is a critical component of responsible firearm ownership and operation in the line of their duties.

This requirement also recognizes that skills can diminish over time, and regular training is necessary to keep up with best practices and advancements in firearm safety. Requalifying annually helps assure that individuals are consistently able to perform their responsibilities competently, thereby enhancing overall safety and security within their roles.
