Before joining, a person must certify they have no felony conviction. They also must not have been convicted of violating federal gun law. Felons and certain gun-law violators are barred, and the Director may further limit participation.
(a) Certification
Before a person can take part in any activity run or supported by the corporation, they must sign a sworn statement (an affidavit) saying three things:
- They have not been convicted of a felony.
- They have not been convicted of violating section 922 of title 18 (a federal gun law).
- They do not belong to a group that supports violently overthrowing the United States government.
The Director of Civilian Marksmanship may also require the person to get proof from law enforcement agencies confirming they have no felony conviction and no conviction under section 922.
(b) Ineligibility
A person cannot take part in any corporation-sponsored activity if they have been convicted of a felony or convicted of violating section 922 of title 18.
(c) Limiting Participation
The Director may limit who takes part in the program when it is necessary to protect three things: the safety of participants, the security of firearms, ammunition, and equipment, and the quality of firearms instruction.
An individual shall certify by affidavit, before participating in an activity sponsored or supported by the corporation, that the individual—
has not been convicted of a felony;
has not been convicted of a violation of section 922 of title 18; and
is not a member of an organization that advocates the violent overthrow of the United States Government.
The Director of Civilian Marksmanship may require an individual to provide certification from law enforcement agencies to verify that the individual has not been convicted of a felony or a violation of section 922 of title 18.
An individual may not participate in an activity sponsored or supported by the corporation if the individual—
has been convicted of a felony; or
has been convicted of a violation of section 922 of title 18.
The Director may limit participation in the program as necessary to ensure—
the safety of participants;
the security of firearms, ammunition, and equipment; and
the quality of instruction in the use of firearms.
