Under Chapter 12, Section 104(6), after how many years may a person who has been declared unfit apply for a competency certificate again?

• A. 1 Year
• B. 2 Years
• C. 5 Years
• D. 10 Years

Answer: (C)

When someone is declared unfit for a competency certificate, the law uses a waiting period before they may apply again. Under Chapter 12, Section 104(6), that waiting period is five years. This time gives the person a chance to address the issues that led to the unfit determination and to demonstrate, with evidence and assessments if required, that they can handle firearms safely. After five years, they can reapply and must meet all current requirements again. Shorter periods wouldn’t give enough time to show lasting improvement, while a much longer period isn’t what the statute specifies. So, five years is the mandated interval.
