I've had mine here in Virginia since December.
I will renew my Texas CHL for the 2nd time in August. I would not want to be without it for any reason. Both sons will also join me during my renewal for their first time. I am one proud papa!!!! :)
Yup, I have one. Now I need a class for a Utah permit.
I have one and the wife has one. She didn't when we first met.
Took her to the range with me and she was hooked.
Started her carrying the house .38. Good for about a year, then all of the sudden, too 'Knobby,' wanted a 'Flat' gun.
Got her a PPK. Flat, got all the Bond sexiness and she can shoot 2" groups. Then around XMAS... the PPK is too much of a 'Toy', .380 Hydrashoks don't have enough 'Stopping Power,' sights are crap in low light.
Now, after spending a grand on her early Valentines... She now carries a shiny new EMP. Condition One of course...
Having a wife with a CCW sure ain't cheap. I've started saving for the hard chromed subcompact .50AE I'll have to buy in another 2 years. On the bright side, I'm looking for a good ankle holster for my new PPK.:mrgreen:
I have mine in OH, PA and NH as well. I carry about everywhere, someplaces I go it just wouldn't be legal to do so. That's the difference I guess, we do it legally the bad guys don't. My wife is going to start her "NRA First Steps" tomorrow morning.Quote:

Took the class last month...getting the permit next month. In Missouri it is only good for handguns, not knives...
I've got PA , non-resident Utah and non-resident Florida
Have had mine for close to 10 years now. One major incident over 10 years... not bad.

yes, in Texas they are called CHL concealed handgun lic. i just got mine in the mail last Wednesday march 18,2008 it took four months because i was rather wild in my youth. lots of record pulling and hoops to jump through.:smt083
Carry permit here for about 10 years and hope we never lose that right
Ohio's is actually a concealed handgun license as well. My opinion is that NOBODY will protect you (and your family) as well as you. It's our duty to protect ourselves and even has been bourne out in court that it is NOT the police who are responsible for your protection. So, it's not only your right it is your responsibility.
I have qualified eight different pistols here in Ohio. (no castle doctrine) Not a requirement but a good idea. Should you use any of them in your or someone else's defense the person or their family can sue you. A question that is sure to come up in your deposition is "Are you qualified to use that weapon." That's not part of the law, but, it will get asked, I can answer Yes and prove it from my records at the chl school. off my soap box. Just my opinion and it's worth about as much as you paid to get it.
thats a good idea,how exactly do you get qualified w/a given weapon? what all does it entail and how do you prove it?
I am an ex-LEO, hadn't carried off duty since I left back in the 80's.......
BUT, VA Tech finally convinced me it was time to start carrying concealed again.
The idea of my wife and I being at the mall and some slimeball coming in trying to kill us and the only thing I had to defend us with was a swiss army knife didn't set too well with me.
There are very few "gun free" zones here in the free State of Florida, but where there are, I refuse to go.
God Bless America and God Bless the Second Amendment.
:smt023 :smt1099
I voted yes even though I don't have the permit in my hand yet. But I should in about a month. ;-)
Applied for and still waiting and waiting and waiting..........:smt022
Soon I should think
RTMPGH...Didn't know Florida had a non-resident permit.
Florida just has a permit. They do not have a separate resident and non-resident. The requirements and fees are the same for residents and non-residents. My FL permit looks identical to Baldy's and Jeff Ward's, only they have a FL address and mine is a NC ..... for now.Quote:

I picked up my application from the sheriff's office yesterday, thanks for the link though. I used to work in the Philly area from time to time, nice to know that the carry laws are different there.
