Howdy Folks!
I recently purchased a .38 S&W Airlight revolver for my wife along with several handguns of my own. It was, and remains, our intent to apply for CCW permits. As we live in Adams County, this may be a time consuming (wasting) process. Based on information I have received from others, the local sheriff isn't real keen on issuing CCW permits. While the "Shall Issue" status of Colorado requires approval or denial within 90 days, I've heard that it may take considerably longer.
With those facts in mind as preamble....
Should I enroll my wife and me into a CCW course now and apply sooner?
Or, because my wife will be having catarach surgery in June, should I hold off until her vision improves and she has a better chance of hitting the mark on the "live fire" part of the CCW course? Our last trip to the range was just a couple of days ago, and her ability to group her shots at or near the bullseye is improving.
Considering it may take quite awhile after we apply for our CCW permits, would it be smarter to wait another month until after the wife has surgery or simply jump in and get the training out of the way now, despite her vision being somewhat impaired at this time? I feel she'd make her 80% shots on target, but I'm uncertain how bad her eyesight might be. She's been doing real good on the range, and her accuracy is improving.
What would you suggest?
Blessings,
