My county clerk wont accept my NRA Personal Protection in the Home Course certificate because it was issued more than 1 year ago. Is she correct?
No, NRA certificates do not expire or go stale. The NRA alone decides how long their certificates are valid, not county gun boards. According to the law, it is NOT the responsibility of the county gun board to review or approve pistol safety training programs.

In most cases, that is the NRA. It is a 4-year felony to issue a bogus certificate. That is intended to keep instructors honest. There is similar situation where I have seen clerks attempt to reject certificates because they do not contain the language set forth in MCL 28.425j. Pursuant to 2004 PA 254, after October 1,
