Amazon Local is running a deal for a firearm safety class and certificate from Home Defense Site. Normally $150. I bought one in hopes of using the certificate for a Florida CCW license. Promotional value expires July 29th.

P.S. the tail end of the link spells out "boob"

What exactly does this class cover? Looks like a good deal, would this be enough for a Florida CCW?

Florida law requires you to submit proof of competency with a firearm in order to qualify for a concealed weapon license. A copy of a CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION or similar document from any of the following courses or classes is acceptable:

• any hunter education or hunter safety course approved by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission or a similar agency in another state;
  
• any National Rifle Association firearms safety or training course;
  
• any firearm safety or training course or class available to the general public offered by a law enforcement agency, junior college, college, or private or public institution or organization or firearms training school, utilizing instructors certified by the National Rifle Association, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, or the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services;
  
• any law enforcement firearms safety or training course or class offered for security guards, investigators, special deputies, or any division or subdivision of law enforcement or security enforcement;
  
• any firearms training or safety course or class conducted by a state-certified instructor or by an instructor certified by the National Rifle Association.
  

The copy of the training certificate/document must be clear and legible. The certificate/document must include your name, your instructor’s name, your instructor’s qualifications/credentials (National Rifle Association instructor, law enforcement firearms instructor, Class “K” Firearm Instructor licensed by the State of Florida, etc.), and your instructor’s license/certification number.

 

 

So as long as the cert has these things I figure it'll be ok. I just sent them an email to make sure and I'll let you know the response.

Thank you, I would love to get some HD training also.

Any clue if this has a live fire portion? Any specific firearms prohibited?

I'm going to have to do some digging.

The odd part about this so called deal is that the regular price for this is still $75, look on their website

On the Amazon deal:

 

• $75 ($150 value) for firearm safety course and certificate
  
• NRA-certified instructors
  
• Classroom instruction and firearms use included
  
• Learn skills, develop confidence
  
• Be a safe, responsible gun owner
  

"Classroom instruction and firearms use included"

Wonder what firearms use means....

Wow, I didn't even think there might not be a live fire part to the class, thanks for pointing that out. I emailed and asked them if I could bring my own firearms and whether or not this could be used for a Florida CCW application. I'll update with their response. Good thing Amazon Local has a 30 day refund policy, no questions asked.

This is what the $75 class on the website says

NRA Home Firearm Safety

 

Non-shooting course and teaches students the basic knowledge, skills, and to explain the attitude necessary for the safe handling and storage of firearms and ammunition in the home.

 

 

So I'm guessing the amazon deal is a different class with live fire.

Just heard back from Home Defense Site. The certificate is not valid for FL CCW, but they said they can help add a qualification sheet to the application. I'm not exactly sure what they mean by that. They also said I can use my firearms at their place, but did not mention whether or not the class has a live fire component. I purchased it for the FL CCW training figuring I could get a deal, so I'm going to cancel the order and just go through GFH.
