Yes I know that is what I wrote. So if new applicants are required to complete the new training that has not been developed yet how will be they able to apply for an LTC? It looks as though the LTC process for new LTC's would have to be suspended untill the new training is developed and put in place. It dosent seem to have any provesion to do business as usual untill the new training is developed and put in place. I have bold lettered the section in the bills text that states
1575 No application for the issuance of a firearm identification card or license to carry shall be accepted1576 or processed by the licensing authority without such certificate attached thereto; provided. They are refering to a certificate that dosent exest yet and can't untill the new training is developed and implemented.

- Disengagement tactics
- Live fire exercises
- Completion of a written exam
