DraftCalifornia CCW licensing
The live-fire assessment component of CCW training under section 26165(a)(6), involving safe handling and proficiency with each firearm identified for the license. The licensing authority must publish the standards it uses, including specified assessment measures. [1] This glossary identifies the existence and administrative purpose of the assessment without reproducing a course of fire. The published standards belong to the relevant authority, and the assessment remains distinct from the classroom and written-examination components of training. [1] Configuration and purchase rules depend on specifics, this is information, not legal advice.
