I recently bought a gun and I had to wait 45 minutes for a background check. The sheriffs have the same wait.
Just another reason for ZERO background checks. My wife may have needed to carry to protect herself from her radical, right-wing, gun-totting, conservative husband.
"But I'm angry NOW!" ...Homer Simpson.
Here in Virginia a few years ago I turned in the paperwork for my wife, including her DD Form 214, and she had her card in just over a week. Santa just replaced her compact 9mm with a compact 45 ACP.
She is now happy.
My daughter got her CHP last month. Carries a compact 40 S&W.
Great. I’ve had mine (yikes) going on 20yrs. Never had to use it, but sure glad I have it.
She doesn’t need a concealed carry license in the kitchen! ;)
THAT’S A JOKE LADIES!
Congrats to her!
I can’t wait to get my revolver and my concealed carry license.
I have experienced your joy. My wife earned the nickname “Dead Eye” at her range training. She was just short of the 150,000th permit issued since Wisconsin allowed concealed carry. Her permit arrived much quicker than mine as I applied during the initial rush.
Good thing you can get a hamburger and fries at Cabelas while you wait.
It’s been quite awhile since I had to wait while purchasing something instate.
That’s the nice thing about having your concealed already.
If our sheriff’s office isn’t busy you can get yours while you wait. Usually ten or fifteen minutes while they type up your CWP. This is in uber-Liberal (well the west side of the Cascades that is) Washington state.
I just got my CCP as well, after a three-week wait. Oregon. County sheriff says that anyone who applies, and does not have any disqualifiers, will be given a CCP.
My BIL and I were talking with someone who knows the loggers working up the mountain from us, and they see Bobcat and Cougar all the time. They will rarely hunt as low as where I live, but I think I’ll start carrying now when I take a walk up the mountain.
I ran straight into three crazy people today.
1. A guy going down the wrong way on an escalator.
2. Old man ranting on the train.
3. Beggar yelling in the street.
I could have happily shot any one of them.
May she always have a gun near to hand, and may she never need it.
In Westmoreland county, the sheriff runs evening hours at different locations once a month. Walk in and walk out with your permit. If you dont feel like going to the courthouse.
What ya’ll need is a Hoover Permit.
