What is required for an individual to qualify with a firearm according to the Act?

An individual must demonstrate their ability to use a firearm effectively in order to qualify according to the Act. This practical assessment ensures that the person not only understands firearm safety and handling but can also proficiently operate the weapon in a controlled setting. The demonstration is critical because it provides a clear indication of the individual’s competence with the firearm, ensuring that they can handle it safely and responsibly in real-life situations.

While other options may encompass aspects of firearm training, such as theory or practical knowledge, they do not fulfill the specific requirement of showcasing actual shooting proficiency, which is essential for qualifying with a firearm under the Texas DPS Private Security Bureau regulations.
