Everything you need right here

Your fingerprints should already be on file. That's basically the only thing you don't need to send.

New training certificate ... I have to go sit through another class??

Yes you have to go sit thru class again. It sucks but you need a new certificate

Otherwise all you need is a new photo and your application and affidavits (and $125)

i just took the class last weekend, and we didnt spend any time going over rules and regulations

Then your instructor failed to meet the requirements.

From Training Requirements Provided by Instructor

Three hours of instruction on the use of deadly force and conflict resolution which will include a review of R.S. 14:18 through 14:22 and which may include a review of any other laws relating to the use of deadly force;

I took the class with Gordon Hutchinson and we definitely spent a large amount of time going over real world applications of the laws and regs. Not only did we do that, but he even discussed situations that are legal but not advisable.

So you have to submit "certified true copies of court disposition" AGAIN?

I'm sorry.. That was 4 years ago

several of the renewals that came in to our class were griping as well. He does get a bit long winded to fill the required time and if you heard the stories before, I'm sure it's a bore. In ours, he even told a story in the morning and then the same story in the afternoon.

yep...

got there at 915 left at 430
good times
and spent 100 bucks on it

so for my $100 i got:
-5 minutes at the range
-3 slices of little caesars
-almost 3 hrs of literally sitting in a waiting room
-3hrs in the classroom, 30minutes of which was a review of the changes to the use of force laws, and carry laws
-un-notarized affidavits

hopefully one of the other instructors will come up with a renewal-only class...get in, shoot, review the law changes since last time, get your certificate, get out

Same here

A 9 hour class isn't required for renewals.

But the rules require the instructor to cover a specific list of topics -- which is the same list of topics that are required for first time applicants.

So shorter renewal classes are allowed. And some instructors do so. Others have chosen to do what LSP asked all of us to do about three years ago -- which is to teach a full length renewal class.

Years ago I allowed renewal students to attend for half a day -- but now I do what LSP requested. My classes are 9 hours, and it makes no difference if you're a renewal or a first time student. I do charge renewal students less (just so nobody thinks I'm making them attend a full class so I can make more $$$.

I also offer a 100% money-back guarantee. So if someone were to decide that they had wasted half their day, they'd get their money back. But no one has ever said they were disappointed in either half of the day.
