Understanding the intricacies of the Dssp158 form is paramount for individuals seeking certification in firearms proficiency in the State of New Hampshire. Administered by the Department of Safety Division of State Police, this form serves as a testament to the proficiency and understanding an individual possesses regarding firearms handling, safety, and the judicious use of force. The form comprehensively covers personal information, including the applicant's name, address, employer details, and position. It mandates a rigorous firearms instruction session, spanning four hours, covering not only firearms techniques and safety but also the critical legal and ethical frameworks governing the use of deadly force.
