I'm not a leo or mil, and I'm one year short of getting my CCW. What options do I have in east Tn for meeting the eligibility requirements for the CMP?

Thanks in advance.

Buy a magazine fed .22 rifle and go to an Appleseed shoot. http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=11143.0

If you do not wish to go the Appleseed route, there are multiple associations you can join and multiple shooting events you can attend, that will satisfy the requirements. Check the CMP website.

Check into the service rifle CMP Service Rifle clininc at Oak Ridge Sportsmans Association, I believe it meets the requirements.

You need to join an affiliated club, this is often the most difficult depending on where you live. If you can't find one in the online directory just give them a call and they'll help you.



The 'live fire' requirement is pretty easy as it doesn't matter what you shoot (it can be practical pistol, bowling pin night or a steel challenge match, shotgun tournament, hell it can even be air rifle or the 5 rounds you shot to get your concealed carry licence!).



Whatever you do, just get it done.....it's really cool having a rifle delivered right to your door!

I was just planning on joining one of the online clubs for $24. The live fire part is actually the issue for me. I'm 20, so I can't get my CCW yet, and I've always shot my guns at private ranges (i.e., friend's acreage), so I don't have any experience with competitions or anything like that. Do I just show up at a public range and get the rangemaster to sign off on something?

Here's a link for the New Shooter Clinics at ORSA: http://orsahp.com/new_shooters_clinic_faq.aspx

Several years ago when I lived in Knoxville I attended one and it was a lot of fun.  I ended up shooting a few high power matches because I had such a good time at the clinic.
