Conceal carry permit

[Silver R/T]

Anyone have ccw permit? What does it take to get a conceal carry permit? I'd like to get a S&W or GLock 9mm.

[rebby]

Not only do I have a permit but I own a custom firearms company as well.  

What state are you in?

ETA: Looks like you're in WA? Start here -> http://www.dol.wa.gov/business/firearms/faconceal.html

In Arizona I had to take 2 8hr classes and then do a shooting test at the range. Now in AZ you dont need a CCW permit to conceal. I took my test long before AZ passed the No permit needed. The good thing about having my CCW is many other states also recognize my permit.I have seen businesses in AZ that allow you to conceal on there premises only if you have a permit.

I've got an Oregon CWP and it required a 2-3 hr. class as well as a background check, fingerprints, etc., etc. Costs $50 to renew. You might check into getting something like a Utah CWP which is valid in several states. Washington is a bit more communist than Oregon believe it or not so you'd better check your state laws about how those multi-state permits work.

I've had my CCW for a long time but I am in Texas and do carry most of the time. It is usually not that hard to get your CCW permit, just time consuming filling out and sending in the application. Remember, at least here in Texas, the class you take is to cover the laws regarding CCW. You are already expected to know how to safely handle you firearm. Can you say .45ACP ?  I certainly can !

[skip68]

Not me guys, it's open carry for us. NO permit required.   

[moparguy01]

Like others said, look into the Utah. Other than that it's best to check with your states attorney generals office, they will have all the info you seek.

[c00nhunterjoe]

Pa is an open carry state but I have my permit for concealed carry. Typical residents fill out the form, pay 25 bucks, and wait 2 weeks fo processing, then go get photod and pick up your permit.

[Indygenerallee]

I have a lifetime conceal carry permit!!! (until the goverment takes it away) No gun classes just paid the blackmail.... I mean license fee.

[twodko]

I have you guys beat! Here in Calijerkia the only thing concealed is our rights, freedoms and like that. 

[ChgrSteve67]

I plan on applying for mine this winter.

I just have to decide which pistols I want to qualify on.

[Fred]

I keep my weapon concealed. It's better for the ladies. Less hysteria!    

[Daytona R/T SE]

What does it take to get a conceal carry permit?

I have to move.

Anybody interested in a house in Illinois?

[Indygenerallee]

You guys in Illinois have to have a FOID card also to buy ammo correct??

Yes.

[Indygenerallee]

I had a buddy his family moved over to Paris, IL and he was shocked when he went to the Wal-Mart to buy some ammo and they asked for a FOID card (he still lived here in Indiana)

Just one of the many reasons why I intend to downsize the fleet and move out of this state in the next

year or so...

Never to return.

Search...

VERY easy process in this State

[skip68]

Here I can buy an assault rifle at Walmart with ammo and walk out with it right away.  
These are for rabbits, dogs and the guy down the road if he doesn't start slowing down driving by my house. 

[Fred]

So that's what happened to the ducks!!
I did have my suspicions.
Mystery solved.

[74bluecharger440]

Holy Crap Skip that is insane, here in Canada you need to show your  drivers license to buy a bloody pellet gun. The right to bear arms isn't anything we  have here. If we were ever invaded by a forgein country only the hunters with shotguns (no assault rifles) and deer hunters would put up a fight.

[djcarguy]

Hey guys lets go take over canada ,,,AND GET OUR MOPARS BACK????hahhaha have guns will travel FOR FOOD OR CARS,hhahaha....

  you in skip?

[rt green]

in south dakota 8 bucks and wait a week. you can walk out with rifles though.

[74bluecharger440]

Better come in the summer, in the winter you will have a hard time finding them plus putting winter tires would be a pain in the ---...

[Indygenerallee]

It is nice to go into Wal-Mart and buy AR's if anyone is interested in nice guns at great prices I have bought several AK's off these guys in Kentucky, Centerfire systems  http://centerfiresystems.com/  I have a guy here in town that does the transfer for $10.00.

[Indygenerallee]

And if you ever want to go see a fully automatic machine gun free for all go here!! just bring $$$  http://www.knobcreekrange.com/

What makes it an assault rifle? All the black plastic screwed to the frame? Looks like a glorified 10-22 to me.

Yep, "assault rifle" is simply defined by aesthetic features.

[John_Kunkel]

Come to the People's Republik of Kalifornia and they'll tell you what constitutes an "assault weapon"....just about everything.

As far as CCW goes, my local sheriff has loosened the permit process but, even if I had one, I wouldn't carry. With my stature I've never found anything I'd want to lug around all the time....open or concealed.

[Sgtwallace]

Silver, if you do get your permit, please take a moment to read this.

I live by these words everyday.

Yes.

Whoa, Whoa, whoa...What in the world is all this about? you have to have a PERMIT to buy ammo in IL?

[skip68]

I'll rephrase that bull, tactical gun.

Thanks for posting that link. It is a great read and so very true. 

[moparguy01]

When on road  trips I go out of my way to avoid the Peoples Republic of Illinois. There is not enough money in the world to make me move there.

Wallace, That is a few good article. I've never seen it before. Thanks.

[Bob T]

Good link S.W.

FOID = Firearm owner ID.

Without it, no bullets.

No guns either.

Possession of guns in Illinois without it is a big no-no too.

Or, as the fine officer once told me as I was being searched ( groped, felt up, fondled, cupped )

"FOID card" ?

"P-L-E-A-S-E tell me you don't have a fu#@ing FOID card" !!!


He was F#$king pissed when I produced a current FOID card.

I had to do the whole hands on the car and spread 'em routine...

My crime?

Target practice on private property, ten miles from the nearest town, four miles from the nearest

highway, down a dead end quarter mile private road...

"We've had some complaints"

Uh Huh...

Sure, Barney.

A fair bit of recyling to do there.

Most "AR's" I have seen at Walmart are 22's with some cheep black plastic rails thrown on trying to make it look cool.  There is nothing assault about it.  Just cheap, Chinese made squirrel rifles made to look semi-cool.

[Indygenerallee]

They have a Remington .223 AR-15 at our local Wal-Mart, they actually have two one in black and another in the camo print. I can order just about any rifle through them.

Using the Clinton era weapons ban an "assualt weapon" had more than 2 of the following
- Pistol grip
- Detachable magazine (capacity in excess of 10 rounds)
- Folding stock
- Flash suppressor
- Bayonet lug

[Indygenerallee]

you stick a EO tech on a Ruger 10-22 and a composite kit and most laymen would say "it's a fully automatic people killer"  What is funny is here in our area within our surrounding counties we have had 6 stabbings in just one week!!! (2 fatal) and maybe 3 shootings in the past 3 years (we are in rural Indiana)

Groovy.

Not here.  I can get painball and BB guns at our Walmarts.  They do have decent prices on ammo though, when you can find it.

[twodko]

Just sold my Springfield 1911 A1 .45 plus accessories today for $550. Just bought my new Samsung 55" LED teevee. Woohoo

Can't sell my Colt AR-15 A2 Hbar sporter in Caliassholeia though. Fries my gizzard.

[redmist]

Guns are icky...

[Fred]

Hmm! not sure that's the word I'd use to describe them. 

[NHCharger]

Yup. I buy the 250 mega packs for my 9mm's. At least 20% less than any other store.

[Fred]

But can you buy this at Walmart...............

Gun laws, especially in CA, make my head hurt, and I've given up on trying to understand them-you have to be a lawyer or someone with a brass-pass to deal with it.  I just hope that I don't "accidentally" do something illegal with my new Ruger 556e and Colt M4...
