The run around to get a Carry Permit..Yippy!

My story of the run around to get a Carry Permit!

I took my gun safety class back in June of this year in order to apply for a gun carry permit. Well finally mom is doing something for herself now that racing season for kido is done & I have a little extra cash in my pocket. MX racing costs so darn much!

So I went & waited at the driver’s license office for my number to be called. After waiting 37 minutes my number was called. I presented all my paperwork but there was a problem with the name of the class teacher so after several calls were made that got dealt with. (Really long story behind that deal) Then I paid my $115.00 cash. I then assumed I would be sent somewhere locally to go get my fingerprints done...but noooo you have to go home get on the computer, fill out information, select a location, & then pick an apt time. I want to take care of this now not go through all that. But I am old enough for my wants not to hurt me. So I am then asked to go sit back down & wait till my name is called for the picture part of my application. So I sit & wait another 22 minutes for the nice lady behind the camera to call my name. I sit down in the special chair & say CHEESE!

The lady was super nice & offered to let me see the picture & if I didn’t like it she would redo it. WOW, that was nice of her but luckily for the both of us it was a good one on the first try. So I get back in my car & drive back home to get on the computer to get my apt time & the place to have my fingerprints made for the application. I live right next to one of the larger cities in my area but lucky me & all the residence in my city we have to drive 2 cities further to have this done! Give me a break!!!!

So here in a bit I will load the family & drive about 25 miles one way to the location I have selected (which was my closest) & get this application completed.

Then when all that is done I just wait up to 90 days to get the permit but the kind lady at the DL office said the wait time has been around 3 weeks....Yay!

So that’s my story about the run around to get a Carry Permit in the state of TN.

Sweet !!!:yes:Its cool your gettin one !! I never carry unless I`m ridin out of my normal area or longer trips !!

I never really thought about carrying while riding but I could see having some extra protection in unknown areas.

I have never been into guns or worried about a carry permit until this year. But after being all over the Mid & Lower Eastern US this year & running into some characters I decided it was best to get one.

typical government policy of a runaround, doesn't differ too much between U.S. and Canada .... :bangheadc:

Supposedly there have been more landowners pulling rifles on atv riders in the eastern PA area. I think its because there are goon riders who dont care but also a big problem is that there is no real borders or property lines to differetiate private land from RAC land. Sometimes its hard to notice a single 8"x8" sign while trail riding at 50mph. Ive done it.

I cant get a carry permit in NY! Anyone know what type of pistol is good for a beginner? Sorry for the hijack!

I agree about the problem with no real borders laid clearly out for riders. I remember my son & I riding on our 400EX & I didnt see the sign no motorized vehicles beyond this point that was kind of out of the way. We ended up in someones cornfield & the owner came after us. Here I have my kid on the back. Scared the crap out of me. I had no idea where I was & I certainly would have never been on his property on purpose!

It really stinks about NY laws...no carry permit, but I guarantee every thug & criminal carries a weapon! Not a firearm....WEAPON!

I bought this handgun...its my first but wont be my last...LOL:wink:

Its a Phoenix Arms HP22A

Its not a knock down firearm but it will certainly hurt an intruder & buy me time to get away! It has 2 different safeties but the extra one near the hammer can be removed. Because of my son I chose this firearm for the extra safety, the ease of use, the size, & price.

Now my next handgun will be this:

Ooops let me fix this typo.....Its a Tarus 380 automatic pistol. My father-in-law just got this little baby. Has no safety but it takes like 7 lbs of finger pressure to pull the trigger. Very nice, powerful, small enough to carry in your pocket, & has knock down power!

Nice! I saw a sticker on an SUV the other day thats said "We dont call 911 & had a picture of a gun underneath it!

If you have a permit to carry the you should carry all of the time. I even break my own rule but it is like a phone, the minute you forget it at home you need it.

I like people not knowing if I`m carrying

I completely agree swampcat07! I will have to get use to carrying & then just like you said the minute we leave it behind something will happen...nice to know I share the same luck...LOL

I agree with quadnut20 on this too! I DO NOT want people to know I am carrying! Even if I have the privilege to carry when you carry say on your hip in plain view at the grocery store it makes people very nervous & the next thing you know it the police are showing up at the store because they received multiple calls about a man or a women in the store with a gun. By the way true story.

I hate people sometimes! When I went to school in Nashville Tenn. one of the teachers there would carry and put his gun n holster on his desk. Being from NY i have never seen this before but felt quite safe as he was very cool and calm person.

That is unusual for sure! I could see why you felt safe.

Hello, Its cool your gettin one

Well got my permit in just 2 weeks & 4 days! Was shocked it came so fast. They said it could take up to 90 days. I am now a proud permit carrier

Also found that I need a smaller handgun...the one I have is to heavy for carrying around. So I am in the market for a new one

Got my first ccl in less than a week here in pa was told 3-30 days and 2 renewals both in under 2 weeks.
