    I live in Louisiana and last Saturday I took the CCW training class. I'm planning on sending in my application sometime this week and in LA. it's $100 to the state whether you get approved or not, as I'm sure it is in most states. I'm a little worried about one of the questions on the application that asks if I ever got a DWI. With regret, I have to say I did, 6 years ago, and I answered yes on the application. Does anyone know how much that will go towards approval/rejection? That stupid incident is the only negative on the application, and I'm now thinking it could come back to bite me in the butt. I'd like to hear ya'lls opinion before I send the application/MONEY! in seeing how I'll never see the money again if that causes me to get rejected. Any advice/suggestions/experience? Thanks everyone.

    If you can walk into a gun shop, purchase a firearm, and pass a background check, shouldn't you qualify for a ccw permit?

    The only reason I ask is because my buddy was just denied for reason of being a adjudicated delinquent charged with a non-violent felony. (Keep in mind this is not true) Someone on the application side of this license messed up. He has been buying guns longer than I have and has more than me also. He has the right to appeal and he will, its just it made no sense at all to either of us that he was diended for this reason of being convicted at one point of a non-violent felony (which I stated above he is not) I have know the guy since kindergarden and he has never even be arrested before.

    I don't know who is more upset, me or him, I quess he emailed the proper licenseing unit after about 2 and a half months of turning in his application. got a respondse two days later which was a simpil response "the process can take up to 90 days", then seven days after that he recieved his denial letter. Sounds like someone dropped the ball big time.

    So back to my question........[:)]

    I am taking a trip to Kentucky from Arizona and I wanted to if there are any states I will have a problem carrying a pistol in. I know there is a website but I can't seem to find it. I will be traveling through New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Indiana and Kentucky.
    Thanks Tim

    Stupid question. For a CCW gun, does a person have to be the purchaser of the gun? Can a spouse purchase and allow the other spouse to legally carry? I really don't see a problem but had two people ask me that question today.

    Scenario: You are in a Liquor store, gas station, bank, what have you, and an armed robbery is starting to take place while you have your weapon on you. If you are in the store during said time do you have the right to draw your weapon to take down said felon? Or must you remain just a bystander during a robbery? Also what is said perp pointed his weapon toward you demanding money, jewelry or anything else what are your options? I'm not saying that vigilante justice is necessary but just curious as to what you can do. This has been brought up a few times while I was at work and always wanted to here a educated response.

When i get my get my I.D. card (CCW permit), and say i travel to another state, do i have to get some kind of permission (document) from that state or can i just carry with card (ccw permit)in hand, or is that just for states that don't accept your states permit.

    I know all the states have different rules, but does anybody else have this one? Whatever gun you quality with is the only one you are allowed to carry. A record of the weapon you use to quality with, here in NJ, including serial nmuber is put on the report to the authorizing agency (NJ State Police)and that is the one you must carry. This includes everyone who has a permit, (including police officers) while off duty.

    I know some states require a training certificate to apply for a license in their state and I'm wondering if anybody knows of a class here in PA, MD, nw WV or northern VA that would have a class that I could take in order to qualify for out of state permits? Aslo what are the good states to apply to in order to have very good coverage for the states that allow concealed carry? I want to try and cover as many states as possible without having a wallet ful of permits.

    In Ohio the law going into effect in 90 days states that in a vehicle
    your gun must be on your person and be visable or locked away.
    Other than using a sholder holster and not wearing a coat in the car
    can anyone that their state law is similar suggest ways to carry your
    pistol within the law?
    In the winter time this seems like a pain in the butt.
    Thanks for any help with this.

    Still doesn't explain his ability to walk in and buy a firearm and walk out with it after passing a background check[?]

    Number one, the NCIC is not necessarily correct with their reporting. When I applied for my ccw it was denied on the basis of an NCIC report that had me committing a burglary in Phoenix (when in fact, I was the victim of said burglary), and of making harrassing phone calls to a lady in South Carolina (when in fact, my 8 year old son was using our house phone to call his older sister on her new phone in her room, and being no math genius, and still isn't to this day, was missing her phone number by one digit. The complaint was totally dismissed upon that explanation....in South Carolina that is. Apparently it didn't reach NCIC).

    So I called both Phoenix and South Carolina law enforcement agencies and asked them to inform NCIC of the incorrect reporting. I included the replies in my appeal (which the local sheriff had to sign off on), and was granted the ccw within a few days.

    However, I suspect the thing is still in the NCIC, for whenever I buy a new gun, it takes at least a day to get approval for the purchase.

    So number two, make the appeal. If you have a good case, they'll see it and grant the license.

    What does NCIC have to do with a CCW?

    Here the CCW is issued by the Sheriff who cannot refuse to issue without a very good reason.

    NCIC is for background checks for buying guns not for getting a CCW and since you don't need a gun to get a CCW or a CCW to buy a gun what does NCIC have to do with getting a CCW??????

    Something doesn't sound right with the story.
    I have helped two different friends of mine, that were "convicted felons", get their gun rights back, and to become CCW holders.
    They were simple drug offenses, when they were much younger, and no problems ever after that.
    They both filed to have their records expunged, and both also went through the CCW process with no issues.
    This was all in Florida though,.....so your results may vary![;)]

    In theory yes, if you have a clean record and otherwise meet the criteria you should qualify for the permit, but in specific, the CCW permit process is state-based and not handled by the background check group. It probably is possible to slip by one and not the other.

    Assuming his record is legitimately clean, its likely that someone else with a similar name/age to your friend has a bad record, and this has confused things. In his appeal, he should make it clear that he has a clean criminal record, and he thinks this is a case of mistaken identity.

    As a related example, I know a guy from Boston who always gets delayed at the airport for 30 minutes because his name (which is an extremely common Irish name, akin to "John McDonald") also happens to be the same as a known IRA terrorist and is therefore on the "Watch list". The "joke" here is that there are literally 15 other people with that exact name listed in the telephone book in Boston!

    The guys totally legit. Someone messed up big time. I also doubt that is was a miss understanding of names and ages. He has a very unique name. Regardless. It shall all be cleared up soon, not as soon as he would like, but he will get his license.
