| I live in Richmond, and was wondering if anyone knew of any matches within driving distance I could attend to qualify to purchase a CMP garand? If not, how has anyone else met the qualifications? I can't get my CCL for another year, so that option is out for now. Thanks. |

If you have a carry permit in your home state that now qualifies you to purchase the rifle without doing the match. A C&R FFL also does. Here's from CMPs web site: Marksmanship or other Firearms Related Activity You must provide proof of participation in a marksmanship related activity or otherwise show familiarity with the safe handling of firearms and range procedures. Your marksmanship related activity does not have to be with highpower rifles; it can be with smallbore rifles, pistols, air guns or shotguns. Proof of marksmanship participation can be provided by documenting any of the following: * Current or past military service. * Current or past law enforcement service * Participation in a rifle, pistol, air gun or shotgun competition (provide copy of results bulletin). * Completion of a marksmanship clinic that included live fire training (provide a copy of the certificate of completion or a statement from the instructor). * Distinguished, Instructor, or Coach status.[r] * Concealed Carry License. * Firearms Owner Identification Card. * FFL or C&R license. * Completion of a Hunter Safety Course that included live fire training. * Certification from range or club official or law enforcement officer witnessing shooting activity. A form for use in completing and certifying your range firing can be downloaded from the CMP web site at http://www.odcmp.com/forms/marksmanship.pdf * No proof required if over age 60. NOTE: Proof of marksmanship activity is not required for purchase of ammunition, parts, publications or memorabilia. |
