This is NOT the Safety Certificate we need:
This little card is given to you when you purchase a firearm and is not the document we need.
This is the CCW Qualification Certificate you will be given when you qualify with your firearms at the safety class.
And this is the ISSUANCE LETTER you should sign and date:
The front shows if you passed/failed, how many hours training you took and what firearms you qualified with. The back is the "issuance letter" that you must read, sign and date. Both sides of this form should be uploaded to CCW Pro as "safety certificate" and/or "supporting document."
