    Default Firearms Instructor needed for weapons qualification

    Hello everyone,

    I am in possession of current Act 235 with firearms stamp and transistioning from sworn law enforcement into private security. Although my 235 is current (Expires 2/12 and will undergo recert this fall), I prefer to undergo a fresh weapons qualification and maintain this documentation. My last weapons qual was July '10 prior to my leaving law enforcement. My duty weapon is a Glock 22 .40 caliber.

    I recently started a armed detail, and desire to have a fresh weapons qualification. Are there any Instructors available who are willing to provide this update at a reasonable cost??

    In our litigious society, I would prefer to undergo annual weapons training. Been grilled by too many defense attorneys as a cop and can't say I enjoyed it. I appreciate your time and look forward to your response.

    Thank You!

    Ed

    Ed,

    Does the company you are working for require any sort of firarms qualification? I am also Act 235 certified and most of the places I worked at required me to go through their certification at least once a year.

    Another thought is to call Act 235 schools in your area and see if any of thier firearm instructors are willing to run you through a qualification (maybe during part of a recert class).

    If you lived closer to Northampton county, I could give you some names of people here that could help (I am guessing you don't want to drive across PA for this qualification...).

    If you can't find someone more local, I have a guy that does it after the combat pistol shoots at our local range in the Oil City / Franklin area. Let me know if you need his info,
