I have the $60 processing fee. I have the $39 FBI fingerprint charge. I have the give or take $100 for the ccw class certification.

NOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOO! I am not buying another khuk til I get the paperwork for packing paid and sent off.

You believe me guys,


don't you?
 
Nope!

Finn, most all the tribal cops I used to know are working for the County Sheriff now. Making barely subsistence rather than starvation wages.
 
$30 for the CCW class, $60 for fingerprints, photos, and notarization, $175 for the license for first five years, $75 for each five years thereafter.

We can debate each individual monetary charge ad nauseum. We can gripe at nitpicking requirements and bureaucratic hassles.

What cannot be debated is what a concealed carry weapons ( ccw ) permit is worth if it is ever needed. It is the power to look someone about to make your wife a widow and your child an orphan in the eye and demonstrate that you don't think so, and have the means to back it up.

For those in the US, the Concealed Carry Database has information on all states with CCW. It's link is:

http://www.packing.org/

By going there I accessed the info on Nevada, found links to the state's law, attorney general opinions, the state rifle and pistol association, which in turn gave me the statewide list of certified instructors by county -
http://www.nsrpa.com/nevada_ccw_instructors_list.htm as an example.

I've been forced off the road with my wife and autistic child in the car with me and no way of protecting them but my wits.

That won't happen again.

I'll get off the soapbox now, sorry for the rant.

Arrrgh - next time I check to see both links are working.

Thanks for the link Rusty, I've been interested in getting a concealed weapons permit for some time--especially since my daughter was born. Sorry to hear about your experience and glad you and your family are ok. Really makes you think....

Amen, Rusty. You have preached to the choir.

I have been in situations where I was and could only, be the protector of loved ones, situations that stunk tactically. I have also been in a situation or two where I had the appropriate "assets", that were tactically sound.

That "empty hand" stuff may work well for ole Walker, Texas Ranger, but as I have been taught- the more "assets" you have the more likely you will be sustained.

I lived in Nevada for about five years back in the early 70's. As I remember, in general weapons laws were more liberal than here in Texas, where legislative paranoia rules. It is interesting that the state so famously associated with the Bowie Knife should have the most repressive laws in the country regarding even the very possession of one.

Sorry to hear that about your LEO friends.

Hope the application goes smoothly.

Finn,
Things may be tight, but I can't believe Texas is more restrictive than Massachusetts.
 
Snuffy,

They may not be, I am not current on Mass. prohibitions.

I do know that in Texas, if you are found with a knife having a double edged blade, or ANY blade over 5.5" (arrest and probation for man found with 1.5" bladed dbl. edged utility knife found in tool box) the very least you can expect is confiscation. I do have to say that it is initially up to the investigating officers discretion. Action taken depends on YOU, situation, what type of knife it is, priorities the officer is operating under at the time. Oh, I forgot luck.

Finn and others, what happened shocked me at how blind I had been to my own values and beliefs.

By myself in my truck, even without a permit I can and do legally keep weapons.

Around my family, in the family sedan, I did not keep firearms although it was legal. I must have been unthinkingly doing the safety bit, keeping wife and kids away from the guns.

When the experience went down, I was thinking of myself only in regards to the jeopardy to my wife and kid if I got taken out of the fight or bought the farm.

On your own, if you buy it your wife and kid cry and go on. That's really the second reason to be able to defend yourself - your own safety.

THE FIRST REASON is that protecting your loved ones is absolutely paramount whatever happens to you. Go without defenses on your own, but do your obligation to protect the family by having the gun when you are with them. Even if your wife is uncomfortable to start with.

Please, think about this. Put yourself in my place and learn from it. Thanks.
