Concealed Weapon Instructor Has License Revoked

| 3/11/2013

North Dakota’s Attorney General has revoked the license of a concealed weapon instructor from Center. The Attorney General’s office says that Melvin Heilman is no longer licensed to conduct concealed weapons classes or training.

According to the Attorney General’s Office, the Bureau of Criminal Investigation looked into complaints that classes Heilman taught didn’t comply with state regulations. The complaints were that Heilman was providing applicants with manuals marked up to correspond with questions on tests. The BCI also found that Heilman was providing information about Utah laws during the classroom instruction, which is also a violation.

The Attorney General’s Office adds that Heilman was warned by the BCI in the past for other violations. Heilman is the fourth concealed weapons instructor to have their license revoked in the past two years.

The BCI will accept applications from people who took classes from Heilman through March 10, 2013. Applications already submitted will not be affected. People registered for Heilman’s upcoming classes will have to make other arrangements.
