Using my DD214s (USN) as an example, I'd have to ask "So where does it say on here that you have received any firearms training?".

Firearms training is implied as a course of basic training, regardless of branch of service. Dear God, somebody *please* tell me this is still true!

LOL, that's funny ! Why would anyone assume that the ARMED Forces are actually armed ? :banghead:

Maybe the judge thinks the applicant was a nurse, like Klinger on Mash.

Wasn't Klinger the CO Clerk?

My friend was denied a CCW in Newport news because the judge said that his DD Form 214 was not sufficient proof of a gun safety course.:banghead:

Can anyone point me to the appropriate location (Official VA website) that states that a DD Form 214 is in fact sufficient proof of training?

What was the name of the judge??

I am starting to think that this thread is a hoax? What was the name of the judge? Where is the denial letter - post it here.

perhaps this is so. I offered to help and I have spoken with the "chief clerk in charge" at the NPN court and also had some "chats" with several of the chief of police boys and although they didn't especially care for me (uppity citizen) they remained professional. I was told that I HAD to get new finger prints to renew my permit. Straightened them out on that.

I would be more than happy to help.
