It's Official, WI Passed Conceal & Carry

[Volusianator]

Well that took the bounce out of my bungee. I just called Gander Mtn to get information on the ccw class, and was informed that the bill wasn't signed into law yet. The state senate has signed and approved the bill, but Gov. Walker who stated during his election campaign that he'd sign the bill, has not yet done so. Additional information was given that during Gov. Doyle's administration, Senator Walker voted AGAINST the bill every time. So, this may NOT get signed into law in WI after all. Damnit.

Well, if it does pass, which I'm sure it will.... eventually, I'd go with the Ruger .380 LCP. Get the optional laser grip too. Great compact gun that can tuck nicely in your waist band.

Most life threatening situations where you'll have time to draw, will be from the hip and without much time to aim. You also have to factor in that most encounters will be within a 3-5 ft distance. Something small, lightweight, powerful and easy to shoot will be your best friend.

For home-defense, I recommend The Judge by Ruger.

i carry a sig p238, but i think a ruger lcp would be a bit better. if you want something with more firepower i would say any glock sub-compact.

I love my glock 23.

I carry a S&W M&P Compact, S&W M&P Pro, Sig, Kimber, S&W 500 depending on the situation. What is best hard to tell however whatever you carry you need to be able to use it effectively and safely.

I'm a revolver fan and am rarely without my S&W 642 airweight

Pete, that's a nice looking piece and a very nice clear picture!

How long does it take to get your permit

The class is only four hours long, not sure how long it takes to actually get the permit.

in FL once you take a class & fill out all the paperwork requirements, it takes about 90 days to get your CWP (good for 7 yrs)

Thanks.

I've since changed out the grips for the Crimson Trace laser ones.

For me, I pray to never need it, but if I do, I am positive it will go bang. I love the simplicity of a wheel gun.

Glock 27 for me.

30-90 days in TN to get your permit in the mail. It varies wildly. Some report getting it in 2 weeks, others 3 months. Even when they took the class the same day.

[loki]

pa is no more than 45 days by law, some townships use the entire 45, some issue on the spot. Philly likes to ignore the laws and usually takes longer, screw them

In Michigan, if the county gun board does not approve your application within 30 of applying then they have to issue a temporary permit. Assuming they haven't found a legitimate reason to deny you. I don't know how often they comply, but it can a looong time to get a permit in the big counties down state.

So many decisions, I'm teetering between the CZ 2075 RAMI and the Ruger SR9c, granted this is just based on internet investigation only, I've yet to hold either, but I do have Fri & Sat off, so shopping is on the calendar!

[Remo]

Strap an AR to your back and open carry M&P is my choice

[Genetic Defect]

I guess this would be my choice


HK USP Tactical

Got the CC permit in the mail last week, pretty excited about that. Decided on the Ruger SR9c in the 9mm, all black. Now I just gotta save up for the gun.

Then I need to learn about ammo, seems there's more to learn there than there is about the gun.
