CCW
I applied for a ccw in MN In which they have 21 days to reply. It's been over 30 days and still haven't heard a thing. Any ideal what my next step should be?

Well, my fellow shooters, it's been a long while since I posted last. I am proud of something that I have done, and I thought I would share it with you all, as well. For a few months, I have been considering getting my ccw permit. On this past Friday, I took a pistol course at my local gun shop. It was required for me to take at least one course before I could move on to CCW. Then, on Saturday, I went and took the concealed weapons course. When it came to be test time, I was a little nervous, but as it turned out, I had nothing to be nervous about. I passed the written portion with a 100% score. And when it came time to do the shooting portion of the test, only 2 of my shots were outside of the "kill zone" of the sillouhette. That was shooting at a target at 21, 40, and 50 feet, using a .45 SIG P220. That probably does not impress a lot of you folks on here, but I was proud of myself for going through the class(14 hours), and scoring as well as I did. There are not a lot of 21 year old adults who can say the same thing in my neck of the woods. I have learned so much stuff that I was not aware of, and some of the topics were just amazing. Like I said up a little ways, the class was 14 hours. I took it at a sporting goods shop, Cleland's Outdoor World. The instructor is a world record holder for rifle, pistol, and archery shooting. You can type his name in a search engine, Chad Cleland, and you will find many NRA publications about him and his mother Theresa, who was the women's combat pistol champion a few times. He also holds several records in the U.S. Army for rifle and pistol champion. He did a great job of teaching, and also made it fun. He made the 14 hours seem like 4 hours... it was great. But, anyway... I was just proud and excited for doing it, and I thought I would share it with you all. 0 -
Hello all,
Just wondering what all you CCW permit holders are carrying these days?
I myself carry a SIG P226 in .40S&W most of the time....any others out there carrying a full frame?
Also what is your opinions on carrying a back up or second mag?
Thank you0 -
I have been spending some time on www.handgunlaw.us and I am trying to find which states will give me the best coverage. I have a PA one now. I plan on traveling to NV and maybe FL. 0 -
Just recieved my ccw in the mail today. Total time from submission to now is just about 6 weeks. Fun times.

Congrats! What state are you in. That's a long class and are you required to qualify at 50 feet? 0 -
I may be wrong but given your good fortune, it sounds like you owe us an expensive giveaway![;)][:D]
Congratulations![:)]0 -
14 hours, thats a long time. Here in kentucky the class is only about 6 hours, ANd you dont have to take any class before the ccw class. What state do you live in? 0 -
Good for you.....I can tell you don't live in Illinois...[;)] 0 -
Wonder if using laser sights are legal when testing..? Or, if that
varies state to state..?0 -
Sounds like some fair shooting.
Of course you had a 220 to do it with. [;)][:D]0 -
Nicely done...........[:)][:D][:)][:D] 0 -
congrats. very good 50 feet wow 0 -
Thanks, y'all!! For those of you who asked which state I'm in, Ohio. I believe that the law states either 10 or 12 hours is necessary here. But, I'm glad that it was 14 hours, because we covered more stuff than we would have otherwise. The instructor was great... if ANY help was needed, he gave it without needing to be asked. He took the time to evaluate the shooting of every individual in the class. It was absolutely amazing.
Pickenup- my SIG P-220 definately was up to par. It is the new carry model with the night sights. She's a real beauty. The other Sig I have is a P-226 in .40 S&W. I swear by SIG. To Hell and Back Reliability.
Spryor- I'm not sure if laser sights are allowable for qualifying. None of the individuals in my class used a laser. And like I wrote a little ways back, mine is equipped with the night sights. If you plan on taking the course, it doesn't hurt to ask first, you never know.
It may be allowed in your state.
Ginmaster- I'm from Ohio. I don't know if we were required by state law to qualify at 50 feet, or if that was just the instructor putting that in to test our ability.
Slowhand- [:D] . Keep dreaming, there is not an expensive give away at this point in time. The only thing I have that would spark interest in folks for a giveaway is the few (3) pistols that I have. And I am not going to give away my SiGS. My Taurus PT-92 on the other hand... I can't afford a big give away now, I just got laid off. Maybe after I get back to work.[;)]
Thanks, again everybody!0 -
Good job. [:)] 0 -

Congratulations![:)]
I'm going with Slow_Hand0 -
Glad to see another shooter getting the license to carry. Good Job![:D]
I am surprised that the class was so long. When I took the class in Oregon back about ten years ago we didn't have to do any shooting. It was mostly about the legal issues regarding carrying a firearm and what happens if you are required to defend yourself. I think Washington State is pretty easy too. Just pay the $60 and show a drivers license and get printed. In Oregon they take a picture.
Test? I don't remember any written test in either state. Maybe I don't remember because I am too old and I forgot, but I don't think we had any test.[:0]0
