Maui has this in their requirements

Firearms proficiency tests shall be taken with the firearm intended to be carried, and must be taken within 90 days of submitting your application. The test must be administered by a state-certified or National Rifle Association firearms instructor of the applicant’s choosing (attach instructor certification). Signed test results must include shooting scores. A pass/fail test result without scores is not sufficient.


What is the test?  Why doesn’t Honolulu or other counties have this?  Where in the freaking current law does this testing requirement exist?

Maui and BI may have violated the law when creating this.

Most other states require a live fire test for the permit

Any NRA instructors out there want to administer the “test” to me?  5 shots at 3 yards into a 4”x8” target.   Lemme know the cost

You should have accomplished the following if you took the NRA basic Pistol Course.

NRA Basic Pistol Achievement Target

Three five shot groups within a 4" diameter circle with 20 rounds

Level 1 (Minimum to pass)
5 shots/10 feet Standing
Bullets that pierce the outside edge of the circle (4") count as hits

Level 2
5 shots/15 feet Standing
Bullets that pierce the outside edge of the circle (4") count as hits

Level 3
5 shots/20 feet Standing
Bullets that pierce the outside edge of the circle (4") count as hits

NRA Instructor Training Qualification Target
20 shots/15 yards (45ft) 16 out of 20 shots in 6" group

Student must demonstrate weapons familiarity as well as follow all safety rules during qualification.

You can be sure HI and the 6 other states will come up with some requirements that will make it extremely difficult to obtain a carry license.

They will do this knowing it is against what SCOTUS ruled and let it drag through the courts again.  Such politicians and judges should be arrested and charged with contempt of court.

NRA basic pistol tests 1 to 3, you have to repeat those for a total of 4 circles with no misses, doesn't have to be consecutive.  So 20 shots minimum to pass each level if don't miss any.

Three five shot groups within a 4" diameter circle is 15 rounds minimum (if don't miss any.)
Completing level one as stated above is a "passing" grade.
I hold my class to a 7 yard (21 ft) level 3 success as stated above to pass.

Since the instructor selects the test to administer, they take on a little liability.  Instructor should be able to explain to a court why they chose that test, in the unlikely event they may be deposed in a self-defense shooting incident.

"The FBI statistics show the average distance is around 7-10 yards with around 6 shots being fired." (That's FBI "shots fired" and not necessarily "ROT")
My level 3 test is the minimum average distance as noted by the FBI

Due to the prevalence of body armor, I shoot for da boto.

As of 10/1/2013 you no longer need to qualify with a semi-auto and revolver or specific gun.
You only have to qualify with one gun. By qualifying with any one gun, you are permitted to
carry any gun. The caliber and type (semi-auto or revolver) is irrelevant. When you qualify
with any one gun at the class, you can carry any gun you like!

You must score 70% at the following distances from the target...

3 yards - 6 rounds must hit target

5 yards - 12 rounds must hit target

7 yards - 12 rounds must hit target

Bring one gun (either semi-auto or revolver).
Bring 50 rounds of ammo.
