Plus "proof that the applicant has demonstrated competence with a handgun." Sorry to get all lawyer-y on ya there.The statute requires only that you fill out the form mandated by the VSP and submit to fingerprinting if the jurisdiction requires it. You only have to file that form, with fingerprints if required, and your fifty bucks.
Maybe because the law requires a copy of the document submitted as proof.She didn't even ask if she could...
~ BoydA photocopy of a certificate of completion of any of the courses or classes; an affidavit from the instructor, school, club, organization, or group that conducted or taught such course or class attesting to the completion of the course or class by the applicant; or a copy of any document which shows completion of the course or class or evidences participation in firearms competition shall constitute evidence of qualification under this subsection.
Yes - court records are public - any tom, dick, or harry may see them and copy then and post them to the internet - Clerks have option to redact your ssn if you are dumb enough to disclose on the application, but few clerks will do this - John Frey of fairfax County is up front about it - he does not have time or manpower to do this.Thanks, Boyd. I forgot about that part.
Can those same records be released to the public for any reason?
You can redact SSN - never heard of a problem; don;t negotiate, force them to accept and deny the application - this lets you appeal and settle their hash forever.I'm pretty sure the DD-214 has your SSN on it, too, but they might bark about redacting it before you give it to them, since it would be an altered copy. I'm sure a discussion with a rational, common-sense, customer service oriented individual in the Clerk's office would be able to figure out a solution that would make everyone happy.
