You can go to a technical colleg and take the firearms course. This meets the standards and you would then have to contact the AG's Office and receive the certificate that allows you to CCW under HR 218.
H.R. 218 FAQ – TCB Revised Draft – December 17, 2009
Q: Can a retired law enforcement officer obtain firearm training and/or qualification services from a Wisconsin Technical College?
A: Yes, subject to certain conditions.
There is nothing in H.R. 218 that requires retired officers to obtain firearm training or qualification services from any particular source. Nor does the federal law require a law enforcement agency to follow any specific procedures for testing or otherwise finding that an individual retiree does or does not meet the agency’s firearm qualification standard for active officers. How to go about making that determination has been left to the discretion of individual law enforcement agencies.
One possible method of making such a determination would be for a law enforcement agency to itself test or otherwise directly examine the firearm qualifications of individual retirees. Another possible method would be for the agency to allow individual retirees to have their firearm qualifications determined by a third party, such as a Technical College. The individual retiree would then have to supply the agency with documentation of the third party’s determination.
Such third-party documentation, standing alone, would not be enough to satisfy the credential requirements of H.R. 218. Rather, the agency would itself have to examine that third-party documentation and determine, in consultation with its own legal counsel, whether that documentation satisfactorily establishes that the retiree has met the agency’s qualification standard for an active officer to carry the type of firearm for which the retiree seeks certification.
If the agency is satisfied with the determination made by the third party, then the agency can itself issue the retiree a document certifying that he or she has been found by the agency to meet the agency’s qualification standard for an active officer to carry the type of firearm in question. The latter certification issued by the agency would meet the requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 926C(d)(1).
