(Note: This is a duplicate of my ranting post in CPLTRAINER.com)
I was informed today by my Brother in Law that he and my sister were asked to submit a certificate documenting that they had completed the 3 hour review training requirement for CPL renewal. I thought all you needed to do was to sign the form to verify you had taken this training, not bring a document. Are these clerks at the City County Building woefully misinformed, or are we?
This is what the MSP website says about renewal:
For an individual licensed after July 1, 2001, and subsequently applying for a renewal:
Pistol safety training course is not required
And, what therefore are we to interpret "shall present a statement signed by the applicant" to mean? Must we now sign a statement before a Notary Public in order have something these knuckleheads will accept for renewal? Why is it that we the CPL holders are better informed and always seem know the law far better than the public servants we pay to process paperwork for licenses and permits at police stations and city county buildings? Is it to harass us and create barriers to licensing and ownership, or simply poor training? We have all received far better service at Wal-Mart than at our government offices.

Applicant shall present a statement signed by the applicant certifying that he/she has:
Completed at least three (3) hours of review of the pistol safety training course since receiving his/her license and that the review included firing range time in the 6 months immediately preceding the renewal application
