As for me, it's easy...too easy. I qualify at my PD range once a year. Fifty rounds with an auto or revolver. You do not have to carry the handgun you use for qualification purposes. Except if you elect to carry a revolver, you must shoot a revolver for a passing score or the same goes for an auto. Afterwards I get an official card to carry along with my retiree's police ID. Any suburban department officer can use the city PD range as well if they have no other range available. It's simple and quick. I've never heard of any negative issues of any kind.
