That has not changed.<br /><br />Section 724.9 indicates some the responsibilities of the IDPS for training. While NRA training and former military/law enforcement training (among other sources) is listed, it also lists IDPS as a source of certification of instructors.<br /><br />From the IDPS website released on 10/13:<br /><br />QUESTION: When will administrative rules be available?<br />ANSWER: Work will begin in the near future so that administrative rules will be in place by January 1, 2011, however, any such rules<br />will be adopted within the limits of rulemaking authority granted to the Iowa Department of Public Safety. There are numerous<br />sections of the new law that will stand alone, as written, and DPS does not have authority to provide additional clarifications or other<br />guidance by rule, except as specifically authorized in Iowa Code Chapter 724.<br /><br />A hearing was attended by many regarding the new law on 10/13 at the IDPS. And governing rules by that agency is scheduled to be released later this month. <br /><br />IDPS has a huge role in this process and many of us would like to have clarification sooner rather than later. There is indication of ambiguity among the rule makers in that agency.strandediniowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069932615393852640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697841611561648399.post-5136038681303795122010-10-22T08:21:51.592-05:002010-10-22T08:21:51.592-05:00DPS will NOT be issuing any training guidelines! T...DPS will NOT be issuing any training guidelines! The law does NOT authorize DPS to do this. Any certified instructor (certifying agencies (more than the NRA) are named in the code)can develop whatever class curriculum he/she is willing to put his/her name and certificate number on.Reediehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10301062616583146091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697841611561648399.post-40172946425502916662010-10-20T00:24:09.053-05:002010-10-20T00:24:09.053-05:00Sheriff Gardner lobbying the legislature to re-wor...Sheriff Gardner lobbying the legislature to re-work the law seems to back up your assertion that he is a political creature.<br /><br />Kudos to Sheriff Dunbar and his staff. They seem to "get it."<br /><br />Funny thing is that the Iowa Department of Public Safety hasn't issued the training rules yet. They are the ones in charge of training standards in the state. (I'm sure Bea will be fine, though)<br /><br />On the other hand, the outfit from Utah holding training classes at Gander Mountain in Cedar Rapids might not be up to snuff. <br /><br />Don't know yet.<br /><br />But there will be blood running in the streets. I know this because these anti-gun sheriffs imply that it will.strandediniowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069932615393852640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697841611561648399.post-22813391953822551022010-10-19T22:40:03.854-05:002010-10-19T22:40:03.854-05:00If the Linn County sheriff is really this ignorant...If the Linn County sheriff is really this ignorant, he needs to be removed from office in the interest of public safety. If he is grandstanding for his own political purposes, he is not serving the public as an elected official should. <br /><br />Sheriff Dunbar in Washington County is really using his head by jumping into running classes through his department. He can insure that the classes are well taught, and turn out quality graduates, who will have a strong connection to the county's law enforcement officers.David aka True Blue Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06221281748612938132noreply@blogger.com
