Concealed Carry

Lol ill remember that

Found a place in High Point, The Gun Vault, that does the CCW classes...and from what i have seen a pretty darn tootin fair price....$80 for the class...then of course there is the fee due to the Sherrifs Dept. around $92 dollars ...i talked to them today while picking up some ammor for the .45. Apparently the classes fill pretty quick but they do try to have at least two classes a month...

Someone told me today that there's a "groupon" in Charlotte somewhere for a class for $70 or 80... I assume that doesn't include the mentioned Sherriff Dept fee though.

CCW classes are like anything else, if you shop around you can find good deals. Here in Wake county when I was looking to take my class, they ranged from $75 to $150. I think I settled for a class that was $100. It was a small class of 6 people with a good hands on teaching style. The county fee in Wake county is $80 for the permit itself, and $10 for the fingerprinting and it took about 60 days for the permit to get to me.

How long do you have from when you take the class til you have to apply for the permit? Basically, how long is the class good for?

I'm not sure...I waited from June 2011 till April 2012 before getting the paperwork in. It seems like I read it is a year...but again, not sure

yeah i think you have a year to turn in the paperwork...but not sure ...how long is the permit good for, as far as how long til you have til you need to renew it??

Wow just saw this... I have had mine for 2 years I carry a Glock 27(.40 Cal) or a Ruger 380 I got lucky and never had to take the class though:D

How much do XDs run for average?

I have carried ever since I was 21. I always carry everywhere that is legally possible, and that will never change.

I have two different pistols that I go back and forth carrying, a full size Kimber 1911, and a compact Springfield 1911. They are thin enough that I can carry them easily and no one would ever know.

I have a crossbreed holster that was a touch pricey, but worth it.

I spent a couple of my years of my years in the Marine Corps as a Close Quarters Battle instructor and I enjoy teaching other people tactics, and how to shoot well. If anyone here is interested let me know.

I know I saw them on sale at one of the local sporting goods stores last week for $499. Great gun but for some reason it doesn't fit my hand too well. My little sister loves hers though.

i think i have made my mind up about what im gonna buy for a carry gun and that is a Smith & Wesson M&P...probably in a .40....may still go with the .45....i like the extra couple of rounds in the .40...but i really like the stopping power of the .45...

Anybody coming tomorrow night should bring a couple pistols with them just for anyone trying to decide on a new gun

Clearly I'll have mine since I live here

yeah i could bring mine..H&K USP .45....but way too big to carry comfortably or concealed...

its a ball park average, 550-650 supply is low and demand is high

I carry a Springfield 1911 (Micro Compact Lightweight Operator) daily. It's easily concealable with a 3" barrel and provides the .45ACP knockdown!

I've been looking for a .40 also, mainly for outdoor carry duty. Something like a Gen4 Glock 23.



This is my carry gun (w/ light removed) :

Very nice!

well i am calling tomorrow to set up the class for my CCW...Angie has decided to get in on this also so she can get a permit...i have finally made my mind up as to what my next gun purchase is going to be...the S&W M&P .40 compact....went in and "played" with one today and absolutely fell in love with it...LOVE it...so at this point thats where i stand...

I've been saying I need to get my CC permit, but I dont even know what state we'll be living in once my wife finishes her Masters here at USC. Figure I aught to get it in the state we will be residing in....

A lot of the states recognize the permits from other states, so if you wanted one now go for it!
