The Wisconsin Department of Justice deserves credit for the quick turnaround of concealed-carry permits.
I took a two-hour concealed-carry carry class several weeks ago to go through the process. The instructor gave the students a Cliff's Notes version of what the new concealed-carry law entails. The law does not require that the instructor show students how to handle a handgun. I have handgun and rifle experience. Some of the people taking the firearms training class freely admitted that they had no experience, but after taking the class all they needed to do was send a check or money order to the DOJ and they can legally carry a concealed weapon.
My permit came within eight days.
The permit is the size of a credit card and fits into your wallet. I was a bit surprised to see that it is only valid for five years, so I will have to check to see what happens after that. Will I get a new one in the mail? Will I have to take another class? Mail in another $50? I guess I need to go to the DOJ website to see.
Last week the department announced that it topped the 100,000 concealed-carry permit mark. I'm number 100,479.
I liked everything about the process except for the lack of handgun training.
Any other thoughts on the process?
