Josh Stein’s NCDOJ still meddling with
concealed handgun training standards
The North Carolina Criminal Justice Education & Training Standards Commission and related NC Training Standards Division will hold another meeting tomorrow, November 15, to debate potential changes to training standards for NC concealed handgun permits.
The commission’s last meeting, in July, generated overwhelming opposition to its proposed “Pre-Delivery” and “Post-Delivery Reports,” which would have impeded training required for concealed handgun permits. The rationale for the proposal lay in claims that some instructors were short-cutting the required training for permits – something the commission never clearly proved.
Chair Leslie Desmukes claims the commission has backed off the proposal for reports and maintaining a roster of students, but no proposed language has been released to instructors. Worse, the commission seems to be making it difficult for the public to attend the second hearing, which is split between two locations – including one for which the commission initially gave out the wrong address.
Meeting details: The first half of the meeting (in which NCDOJ claims concealed handgun standards will NOT be discussed) will be held at 10:00 AM at the Wake Technical Community College, Public Safety Training Center, 321 Chapanoke Rd, Raleigh.
The second half will be held after adjournment of the earlier session after giving participants time to drive to the second location, and will be held at 742 W. Garner Road, Garner, NC 27529.
GRNC Vice President Andy Stevens will be available for comment at both locations.
