Let me tell you more about myself... I am from North Carolina, born and raised. I always wanted a handgun after I turned 21 but it constantly got put on the back burner. Also for a hassle for a standard gun permit you need to know 2 people, preferably in Law Enforcement or notable upstanding citizens. Strangely enough, to get your Concealed Carry permit all you need is the class and the certificate to give to the county sheriff. I will tell you I live in the only county in North Carolina that requires you to register ANY gun after purchase.
I am a Correctional Officer, but in North Carolina, NCDOC personel be they Probation and Parole [now Rebranded as Community Corrections] or Correctional Officers are NOT law enforcement.
C/Os are just average citizens with powers when they clock in and those powers cut off when relieved and off the job. Interestingly enough, though we are judged strictly by the North Carolina Criminal Justice Training and Standards Board but have none of the perks of law enforcement whom they also judge.
I piss off convicted criminals on a daily basis, so I saw the immediate need for a gun. Still waiting on my permit, too. Also my county issues the smallest amount of CCH permits in the state.
I know this is the Open Carry forum, however, I went out for the CCH class passed [used a Glock 17 from the range, not bad] with a 100%. I wanted a CCH because I need one to store a weapon at my job location and just as important it allows me to buy a handgun on the spot no questions asked in this state anywhere be it a show, a store or personal. However I think open carry makes more sense than concealed. Why must we hide away that which protects us? Oh well.
Finally before I seriously get off topic. I'm told .45 ACP guns are seriously the best when it comes to stopping an attacker. And if so, which one? the cold steel, tried and true? [1911, Browning Hi-Power?] The true marvel of the 1980s? [Glock] Or the new challengers, at your own risk of doing these companies R&D? [HS2000/XD, new M&Ps, 24/7 Pro, etc.]
