California CCW Practical Test…….WTF……

Been reading about the different practical tests citizens are required to shoot & pass to get a Kalif CcW 

Some of them are harder & more rounds fired than the local law enforcement dept 

Here is one ludicrous example and it’s designed so you will fail 

Santa Cruz County

Course of fire - Each individual shall discharge 50 rounds a minimum of 2 times and minimally include the following: (All stages are unsupported)

Stage 1 15 yards 6 rounds in 30 seconds
-or-
5 rounds in 30 seconds

Stage 2 7 yards 14 rounds in 45 seconds (includes 2 reloads) (load 6,6 &2)
-or- for 5 shot handgun
15 rounds in 45 seconds
(load 5,5,5 for 5 shot handgun)

Stage 3 7 yards 6 rounds in 10 seconds
-or-
5 rounds in 10 seconds for 5-shot handgun

Stage 4 7 yards 12 rounds in 25 seconds including reload
(6 strong hand unsupported, reload 6 and 6 weak hand unsupported)
-or- for 5-shot handgun
10 rounds in 25 seconds
(5 strong hand unsupported, reload 5 and 5 weak hand unsupported)

Stage 5 5 yards 6 rounds (3 rounds in 4 seconds X 2 stages)
-or- for 5-shot handgun
5 rounds (3 rounds in 4 seconds, then 2 rounds in 4 seconds)

-or- 5-shot handgun
5 rounds (3 rounds in 3 seconds, then 2 rounds in 3 seconds)

NOTE- When utilizing a 5-shot handgun, the above standards add up to 45 rounds fired. The additional 5 rounds may be inserted into the course of fire at the instructor’s discretion.

B. Scoring- The first course of 50 rounds discharged shall be considered practice. The second course of 50 rounds discharged shall be used for scoring.

a. Silhouette targets shall be used. A 5-point score shall be granted for each round discharged inside of the seven (7) ring (center mass).
b. Each individual shall qualify with a minimum of an 80% score (200 out of 250 points) on the scoring segment.
c. Each individual shall be informed by the instructor whether their score passes or fails.
