Carry Permit

[Rod69]

Received my Illinois CCW today. Put Application in Jan. 5th. Illinois covers 18 states. I also took a Utah class and waiting for the non resident permit. Utah covers 32 States. Will have a combined total of 34 States for Concealed Carry.

Send a message to your Senators and Representatives to enact a national carry permit.

Congratulation on getting the CCW. I've had one for years and I encourage all eligible to get one. As a former deputy sheriff, the more with a CCW the less work for law enforcement. <img src="images/smilies/thumbup.gif" border="0" alt="" title="" class="inlineimg" /><br />

</div>I'm surprised Utah doesn't cover more. My TN license covers 39 states alone. One of the ones it doesn't is IL (as far as I know, IL has no reciprocity).

I've considered getting an IL out of state.

Congratulations on your choice to exercise your rights.
Rod be sure to read each states' CCW regulations before you go. I teach a few CCW classes every year and some states have some quirky regulations even though they honor your states license.

Congrats, I know it was a long time comming in your state. I have a permit for Florida and Ohio. I'm also covered under House Bill 218, It works for me. Be safe and enjoy the ride. Larry

[Rod69]

Thanks Gentleman, some very good advice. Will be as careful as I can.

[Big0]

Thank you all - just better to have some protection.

Congratulation on getting the CCW, I have an Idaho CWL and Utah for many years then got a
Arizona two years back reason are: In Idaho you have CWL you can buy any firearms and take the home with you after you fill out 4473 no NIC check but Nevada will not honor Idaho, so I have to get an Utah now Nevada will not honor Utah so I have to get an Arizona the Nevada won't honor it again I like to go to Las Vega or Jackpot if I cannot pack my gun with me it look like I am NAKED it. Now Idaho have an enhance CWL I took a class and got second Idaho permit an very happy so I can carry most state excepted 11 states and mostly I don't care to visit anyway.

Rod - Congratulations!

Here in Jersey, I think it's a tradition that only the bad guys carry...

[Rod69]

Thanks Warren, thanks everybody. Feels so good knowing at least I have a shot ( no pun intended ) a defending my family. I have also a New Hampshire, Penn. and Utah permits. Was supposed to go to Florida class, but my friend didn't call when they had it.

[Sully]

Good deal Rod. I just renewed my, it took only little over 2 weeks. They changed the rules and the card. No more finger print on it, but now has your pic and all kinds of state holograms for security. Only good for 5yrs and coast $30.
With the new laws here we can carry almost anywhere except state buildings and parts of the airport. Have gun will Travel

Rod I used my Illinois to get my FL

Look into an organization named 'Second Call'. I'm going to sign up soon. In the, hopefully never, event that I have to stop a threat, they provide legal defense and other benefits nationwide. Not the cheapest program you can get, but really looks like one of the most comprehensive. I already belong to Texas Law Shield, but basically all they do is provide an attorney. Check out Second Calls website. They have a downloadable information booklet that provides some very good information.
