AFFIDAVIT AND
LIABILITY AGREEMENT
INFORMATION
To assist in explaining the affidavit requirement for participation in Civilian Marksmanship
Program events, the following information is provided.
Congress in Public Law 104-106 enacted in February 1996 imposed the affidavit equipment.
This legislation allowed the Civilian Marksmanship Program to continue by transferring it
from the Army to a new private entity created by Congress called the Corporation for
Promotion of Rifle Practice and Firearms Safety, Inc.
Section 40723 title 36 United States Code provides:
(1) Before a person may participate in any activity sponsored or supported by the
Corporation, the person shall be required to certify by affidavit the following:
A) The person has not been convicted of any Federal or State felony or violation of
section 922 of title 18.
B) The person is not a member of any organization that advocates the violent overthrow
of the United States Government.
By definition an affidavit is a statement that is sworn before an official authorized to
administer an oath, for example, a notary public. That in brief, is the reason for this
procedure. Unless and until the law is changed, we have to comply with it.
There are some steps you can take to minimize the inconvenience. First, each person needs
to make the affidavit only ONCE (not at every event). The affidavit need not be completed at
the event, but can be done well in advance. For example, the club could distribute the
affidavit form to all its members with its next regular mailing, thus cover all of its own
members. Event announcements could include a notice that any non-members desiring to
participate bring with them a completed affidavit. This affidavit is required only for
participants’ 18 years of age and older.
Further, there is no requirement to send these affidavits to the CMP. They are to be retained
by the club. The club officers simply certify in their annual reports to the CMP that the club
requires such affidavits for all participants, and that they are kept on file. The only affidavits
that the CMP itself will keep are those we require annually, at the National Trophy Matches.
It should be pointed out that the affidavit has at least one redeeming feature. You will note
that the form provided by the CMP has two parts. The first part is the certification required by
law, discussed above; the second part is a waiver of liability. This protects the club
sponsoring the event as well as the CMP against any claim caused by the carelessness of
others. Lawsuits against anyone with the remotest connection to a mishap are an
unfortunate fact these days. This can be financially ruinous to many clubs that do not have
the resources to fight frivolous claims. The fact that the waiver of liability is included within a
document that is notarized reinforces its validity.
