original license issued under section 5b.
(2) The educational requirements under section 5b(7)(c) are
waived for an applicant who is a retired police officer or retired

(3) The educational requirements under section 5b(7)(c) for an
applicant who is applying for a renewal of a license under this act
are waived except that the applicant shall certify that he or she
has completed at least 3 hours' review of the training described
under section 5b(7)(c) and has had at least 1 hour of firing range
time in the 6 months immediately preceding the subsequent
