Law Enforcement Qualifications
LEOSA Qualification Shoot - $15
Federal law allows qualified retired peace officers with at least 10 years of experience to carry a concealed firearm if they meet certain criteria including an annual qualification shoot. Completion of this shoot results in a certificate that can be turned into the county sheriff in Nevada for a LEOSA card. This shooting qualification is conducted in compliance with the standards of the Nevada Sheriffs' and Chiefs' Association and the Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act and requires 30 rounds of ammunition.
Other Law Enforcement Qualifications
I can also sign off on department specific courses of fire if your department authorizes a civilian instructor to do so and you provide me with a copy of the course of fire. I have a number of officers that come to me from different departments for off duty weapons qualifications.

Equipment Needed
Firearms and Ammunition
It is strongly recommended to bring the handgun you wish to carry and 30 rounds of ammunition. However, if you do not have a firearm or ammunition, a handgun will be provided to qualify with.
Eye and Ear Protection
For the Concealed Firearm Permit course, each student will be provided with ear and eye protection. Protective safety glasses and ear plugs will be given out and ear muffs can be borrowed. However, you may prefer to bring your own safety equipment that you are more comfortable with using, and are encouraged to do so.
Weather Appropriate Clothing
The shooting component of the course is conducted outside. It could be very cold or very hot. Dress for the outdoor weather. A hat is recommended to deflect shell casings and to keep the sun out of your eyes, as well as lotion to protect your skin from the ultra-violet radiation. For cold weather, gloves are recommended.
Lunch
Bringing your own lunch is recommended for the 8 hour courses.
