They take prints and make you feel like a criminal, then it's about a 90 day wait, depending on the demand. I know some people that have had it back in 30. Depends what county you're in. If you're in CO, I can point you to some good teachers and some guys who just get it done. Depends on your comfort level.Mike Oscar Hotelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08449689716082153671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793387715625734345.post-73719450547983184122011-04-07T20:18:14.369-07:002011-04-07T20:18:14.369-07:00Just curious, how long does it take to get a CCW l...Just curious, how long does it take to get a CCW license in our state?

I'm going to send traffic your way tonight via link of the day. @ B&A - I didn't remember that story! Remember the time those punks outside the Irving were actin' a fool at 3am and we didn't have any weapons? hahaha.Mike Oscar Hotelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08449689716082153671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793387715625734345.post-55702653537984681332011-04-06T20:41:50.398-07:002011-04-06T20:41:50.398-07:00concealed carry is a joke and an infringement on o...concealed carry is a joke and an infringement on our second amendment. <br /><br />we have the right to bear arms and by getting a concealed carry system in place those rights have been infringed upon. <br /><br />therefore i will carry something more reliable and unconcealed called a rifle. yet again even in the open if we are to carry in plain view outside of any hunting season regardless of reason we will be ridiculed for the odasity to carry such barbaric weapons. <br /><br />my concealed carry is wedged in my mind and soul as that of belief in god and as MOH stated my expiration date is set from the day i was concieved and only visible by god himself. no man made weapon is going to change this either way. <br /><br />review the bill of rights for this nation and realise how purchasing your concealed carry permit is a way that this nation has found to infringe upon your right to bear arms with your willingness and permition to do so with in the same proccess of charging you for it. i feel strongly of this yet you still will not see me carry a handgun of any sort. <br /><br />you will however see me with good old trustworthy and acurate E.N.Davey by my side at any given time. <br /><br />rest well everyone....

On our way to our apartment we were staying in, one of our girls was braced by a drunk chick who attempted to assault her. Things were taken care of and the drunk girl was deposited in her sister/our neighbor's kitchen, and we went upstairs. The entire time, she was threatening that her gangbanger boyfriend was going to come kill us. The girls asked me and my 2 Marine buddies to sleep on thier room, so we did, on the floor, with me closest to the door. A few minutes later, the cops showed up, but couldn't do anything until something happened. Shortly after they left, a low black car, swung in, and she went out to it, yelling that we were going to get ours now.<br />Marine #1:"you have your concealed carry?"<br />Me: "Yup."<br />Marine #2:"You concealed and carrying?"<br />Me:"Yup."<br />This old County boy had a loaded .357 under his pillow, pointed right at the door.<br />Nothing went on the rest of the night, or the weekend. But like MOH says, better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.BandA Stowawaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793387715625734345.post-10705828962639256512011-04-06T16:47:56.573-07:002011-04-06T16:47:56.573-07:00Great post!

I'm certain that we'll have entered an anarchist scenario and that I can secure the needed weapons from another source.<br /><br />Personally, I don't look for that to happen. And I agree that we should be looking at Constitutional carry. If the badniks already have guns, why shouldn't we be able to even the playing field?<br /><br />I'll give it more thought, though in the meantime - keep up the great posts. I always enjoy reading what you have to say.<br /><br />..-.-YakDriverhttp://www.yakdriverblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793387715625734345.post-82297568557593577452011-04-06T16:41:34.124-07:002011-04-06T16:41:34.124-07:00Some good thoughts!Some good thoughts!Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.com
