I don't think that is accurate information. I don't recall any exemption for active duty service members at the state level. The state also defines the process, and while the town like to add there own requirements, I don't think they can allow for an exemption for any part of the state requirements.

When I asked DESPP about this they told me that even active duty military needed to take a class. My town uses resident troopers. This was 3 years ago.

Yea no exceptions.
However the NRA instructor may have a personal thing wher he'll just sign off on the Mil people's classes so they can get the permit. Don't know if legal though |

Yep no specific exemption in the stupid statute...
No state or temporary state permit to carry a pistol or revolver shall be issued under this subsection if the applicant (1) has failed to successfully complete a course approved by the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection in the safety and use of pistols and revolvers including, but not limited to, a safety or training course in the use of pistols and revolvers available to the public offered by a law enforcement agency, a private or public educational institution or a firearms training school, utilizing instructors certified by the National Rifle Association or the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and a safety or training course in the use of pistols or revolvers conducted by an instructor certified by the state or the National Rifle Association, .... |

See, I knew that. And now my opinion of the fella that shared that info with me is now suspect. He was adamant that was the case and has obviously just done the "sign off" deal.
Thanks for chiming in buddies. Rome |

The statute doesn't list an exemption for military service/ training.
As an interesting aside/ anecdote, there was an individual who attempted to obtain a permit based on his previous training and qualification as a police officer. (I forget if he was still on the force or had just retired at the time of his application). His local issuing authority denied the application (based on concerns with the police departments qualification program). He eventually did end up appealing, successfully, to the BFPE. (That appellant also attempted to make an argument based on LEOSA, though the Board did not allow him to argue that part of his case) |

Active duty with current PCS orders can purchase firearms in state without a permit. DOD ID (active, guard and reserves) can purchase ammo without a permit or certificate. Nothing in the laws about any military being able to carry without a permit and no exemptions to not take the course.

When I first PCSed here back in 2007 I went to a gun shop on Route 1 in Milford (forgot the name, no longer is there) the guy said I needed to take the class. Took the class and filed with Milford PD. I brought a copy of my small arms qualification record with me. The cop working the counter said I didn't need to take the course. Oh well...no big deal. Not sure if it is still like that.

Most towns don't abide by the 8 weeks allowed on an initial application for a permit so I'm sure there's a few making up more rules and let vets slide:
