Finally everything done for my ccw. Now its just the wait till I get my card. It should relax me more open carry and will be able to cover it up when needed
Congrats. My thread has a few stories on the class. Did you experience anything funny in your class? Any mock of OC? Things like that..
It's things like that that make me wrestle with policy on requiring some sort of training to OC, CC or even possess. "Back in the day" people had at least a cursory knowledge of firearms. I'm increasingly shocked by how many people I talk to have never even seen a firearm in real life and believe everything they've seen in the movies.I'll tell ya what was a little scary ----- Some of the people in the class. ----I spoke to quite a few on break and the guy next to me, DIDN'T KNOW BULLETS FROM BUTT HOLES. I am not criticizing them but, I left the class thinking, just because everyone HAS the right to own, posses, carry a gun, DOESN'T MEAN THEY SHOULD.
I'm not going forthe possess part -- I just can't go that far and not worry about my 2A rights all together.I wouldn't mind an open carry lic. that gave us the freedom of movement a concealed dose. I LIKE the deterrent factor of OC. Plus it's so much more comfortable on my belt, rather than shoved in my pants, even with a good holster.It's things like that that make me wrestle with policy on requiring some sort of training to OC, CC or even possess.

5 Weeks that's nuts. I bet you were psyched!I heard all manner of horror stories about Arapahoe County, vis a vis CCW permits, but it was actually a pretty good experience. Everyone I talked to at the Sheriff's office was friendly and professional; in and out in 15 minutes, got the permit in something like 5 weeks.
And yes, the instructor who did my course strongly discouraged OC.
