Virginia – -(Ammoland.com)- In response to a question from a Virginia Citizens Defense League member about eligibility for readers to purchase a 1911 pistol from Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP), Michael Irvin provided this response, which I thought would be good to share.
Q. Potential purchasers will have to provide to CMP a new set of documents exhibiting: 1) proof of U.S. Citizenship, 2) proof of membership in a CMP affiliated club, 3) proof of participation in a marksmanship activity, 4) a new form 2A with notary, 5) a signed copy of the 01 Federal Firearms License in which the 1911 will be transferred to.
What is form 2A? And what qualifies as Proof of participation in a marksmanship activity?
A. Form 2A is on the second page of the CMP Universal Order Form – see here: https://thecmp.org/wp-content/uploads/1orderformfillable.pdf?ver=20170210
As far as proof of participation, this is from the CHP website:
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). Visit https://ct.thecmp.org/app/v1/index.php?do=match&task=search to find an upcoming CMP sanctioned clinic or match.
