Subsequent to my first post here, I contacted my county and city departments. Neither will qualify "outsiders" due to time, money and liability issues. As a retired Fed, my agency doesn't do it either. Unofficially, my lawyer said to do it myself and keep good records. At least if the SHTF, it shows you did your best to comply. I think the Fed needs to come up with one course for all Federal retirees, reduced in number of rounds, distances and night quals. We're no longer on the street, so a defensive course seems just right, practical and reasonable. I can't understand states which limit a retiree to one gun and specific ammo. Do what is right for your laws, conscience and limits of iability. It's on YOUR shoulders now...no more department protections. Do the right thing.
