ACT 235 RENEWAL FEES

[MARINE DIVISION TWO]

Sticker shock,$30 for the PSP Approval Elegibility to take the ACT 235 Renewal and another $150 for the Renewal Course cost ! Seems everything is going up beside gas ! Hate to give up the ACT 235 Card probably will never need it again for any kind of Armed security employment !

I'm going to renew mine again this year even though I'll probably never need it.

Murphy says, as soon as you let it lapse, you will need it again~!

Is the Act 235 cert. PA state issued ? If so that explains it, my state insp. lic. that I've had since 1974 and never paid to renew, will now with study guide and on line test cost all but $100.00. Every PennDot fee has increased or will be going up, the state will find money anywhere they can. Would think they will raise fees on all lic. and certs.

LOL! I was arguing gun control with a clueless anti last week, and I brought up the young guy who stopped the Klackamas Mall shooting. "But he wasn't an average citizen, he was a licensed security guard!" I tried to tell him that a security guard qualifier doesn't prove excellence, it only weeds out the truly incompetent. He wouldn't believe me. Oh well...

I don't know about that. A few years back I saw a Pa ACT235 guard trying to re-qualify and he could barely hit the paper at 10 yards. He failed the qual and had to come back for a retest, glad I wasn't these the second time. He had no concept of muzzle discipline or any of the basic fundamentals of marksmanship.
