DraftCalifornia CCW licensing
The knowledge assessment required within a CCW training course by section 26165(a)(5). It tests understanding of the course’s covered subjects, and the renewal provision incorporates that requirement along with the other specified training components. [1] The statute describes this examination separately from live-fire exercises and proficiency demonstrations. Passing one component does not replace the other components expressly required by the section, and the examination is part of training rather than the licensing authority’s final administrative decision. [1] Configuration and purchase rules depend on specifics, this is information, not legal advice.
