How long is your certificate good for.

My son, who is in the Air Force in FL, took his CC class just before Christmas and could not get in to the drivers testing station before he had to leave to go back to base. He will be back the first week of March. How long is his class certificate good for? I seem to remember when I took my class several years ago they told me 6mo. but heard someone say 90 days. Anyone know for sure?

6 months. Here is a TN website that states it. http://www.tn.gov/safety/handgun/qualifications.shtml

Yes, you have 6 months to apply otherwise he has to take the class again. The state has 90 days to issue the permit, however it usually takes much much less than that nowadays.

Thanks, that is what I thought I remembered, it has been 6-7 years since I took the class. He should be good.

If he doesnt make it back in time he can also be exempted from the class if he can show that he has received handgun training through the military. Usually a memo from his command will work.

Unfortunately the Air Force is very lacking in its firearms training after basic training with the M-16. He has been in for two years now and has not touched a firearm of any kind except for personally owned.
