PotashRLS Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Curious if any of my fellow Wisconsinites applied for their CCW permit? Mine went in last week. The legislature just removed the DOJ's 4hr. minimum training requirement as the DOJ did not have the authority to add that restriction to the law.

dbHunterNY Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I will be applying for my pistol permit i think this winter for NY. Don't believe I'll get CCW permit right away though. That count? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Why would you need a pistol permit? Are you only free to own long guns? I ask rhetorically because you are from the the socialist state of NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 i've had a ccw permit since the '70's, and use it. go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 each county here is different in NY. the county i'm in you don't get a concealed carry right away. you take a 4 hr course and apply (file paperwork) to get your permit, then you can buy a pistol and have it added to your permit. after that you can write a letter to send to the pistol clerk/judge to make your permit a concealed carry one. in the letter you basically state and give references how you've taken additional courses, use it often for recreation and/or competition, and anything else indicating above average proficiency. long guns need no permit, but you do fill out the paperwork saying i'm not a felon and don't do bad things. then you're called in and background checked. muzzleloaders you're good to go. so to answer your question: yup, we can as long as big brother knows everything and anything about everything having to do with your life. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 oh yea... believe it or not some counties actually require you to buy the pistol first, leave it there at the store, then go through the application process (which takes at least 6 months), then go back to claim the pistol you bought, and then expect you to be proficient. makes lots of sense i know.:shifty:.... :bang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 now that went ahead and answered a rhetorical question anyway. so what's the deal with Wisconsin, anybody? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 If I take my pistol it's out on my hip where it can be seen..dont need no stinkin permit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 If I take my pistol it's out on my hip where it can be seen..dont need no stinkin permit but.........you have to unload and case it everytime you use your tractor, atv, car, truck etc. I think it worked out pretty well overall. $50 initial permit/background check, and only $25 every 5 years for renewals. Obviously Constitutional Carry would be the best, but I think this alternative is acceptable, especially with the reciprocity it will have with other states. My application went in on the 3rd of November. I am curious how long it will take for them to turn it around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnf Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Wow you guys jump through a lot of hoops. In Arkasnas if you're 21 and don't have a felony or domestic violence charge (of any kind) you can walk into your neighborhood gun shop slap down cash and walk out with whatever you can afford. Concealed carry licence takes a 4 hour course and proficiency test. Not a big deal, my wife passed it after shooting about 50 rounds with me the day before. With the CCL you don't even have to do the background check for the gun. We do have to fill out a transfer of firearms form. They are kept by the FFL for 7 years then destroid.

bulldawg Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Nope. I get a case of road rage now and then, and would not be a good candidate for concealed carry. Dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
