SC CWP requirement question

[Dznuts]

Hey guys,

If I am 9mm qualified in let's say by the USAF. What other requirements would I need to fulfill to get my CWP, or would I still have to go through the complete course? Some people that I've spoken with claim all I need to do is file the paperwork, and others say the qualification is worthless. Any info would be appreciated.

You have to have 50 rounds and a holster for your gun. The whole thing is not how accurate with the gun, it is gun control...As you shoot, you will get better. You must show that you have the weapon in your control at all times,saftely...

I think that the target requirement when I took the course was 45 out of 50 on the paper...

I had a 3029 military firing report in the coast guard and that met the requirement. You just have to send in your qualification letter on the 9mm along with an application and $50. Do not take a course and waste money. Call sled to make sure they still do it that way but my buddy just did the same thing less than 6 months ago and he got his permit 3 months ago.

I am a deputy as well and they wouldnt accept that but they would accept my military shooting qualification.

I just called a CWP instructor and he confirmed it. Read below in bold. I know for a fact that Coasties do it all the time. I am sure that air force handgun courses meet the same requirements.

Took the course last Sunday. They now only require 35 out of 50 shots in the black.

It has always been 70%
In the black, you don't even have to put them in the scoring rings.
Some people that took the class with me were sweating the count.
