Just submitted Utah and Florida

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if any other states or highways have that speeding system in place. That was the one and only time it ever happened to me, inside that tunnel between Baltimore and Washington DC.

they have speed cameras set up in the construction zones around Baltimore.

didn't know they had them in the tunnels.

 

with the amount of "stuff" my wife and daughter need to take on vacation its easier to just drive there.

Okay, thanks, so now I have another proof of the fact that my most recent route to FL was actually a right one - I drove on I-78 to the west, then took I-81 to the south, then I-77 to Charlotte NC where I spent a day and then I-77 and I-26 to finally get to I-95.

It's only a little bit longer than directly on I-95 (1020 mi from me to Jacksonville compared to 930 miles directly), but it's almost entirely free (compared to lots of tolls around DE and MD on I-95), definitely "gun-friendlier" (no DC, whole NJ and only a little of MD) ... so I'd really say this is a way to go south from Northern NJ.

 

Just IMO obviously :) I liked that route very much and I am definitely taking it next time (I tried I-95 directly as well on my trip to SC last year and I didn't really like it, especially MD and DC areas - very congested, lots of construction areas etc).

My Florida status (on-line) is now "Received."  May take up to 90 days (legally) to process. They cashed their/my check 2 days ago.

 

Still waiting on a sign from Utah (i.e. cashed check).  Check not yet cashed as of this morning. I'm told by Utah 5-6 weeks from that point.

 

As for Arizona, they required a money order.  But oddly enough, the USPS has a "Money Order Tracker" so you can tell when someone cashes the money order.

 

So we'll see.  I doubt any of them will arrive in time before I depart for my next Florida trip, but I gather they'll be waiting when I return.

 

Update:  I am pleased to report my Florida status is now "Issued, printed and mailed," as of yesterday. 

 

Submitted 03/18, Received 03/20, check processed 04/01.  

 

No word yet on Utah or Arizona.  Can't get a status from either by phone (and they don't have one on-line that I know of).

 

AZ money order not yet cashed.

Yes, I am.  I called this morning to see if it had not yet been sent (so I could pick it up in person), but the phone rep (and the telephony voice) told me that it had already been mailed. :(  I won't get it until I get back home and get my mail delivery resumed. Which will be the case for both UT and AZ anyway, so.... :dontknow:

 

Wait 'till October, I  guess..... :)

that sucks! I applied for my Florida on 2/24 and got it in the mail (2 weeks ago) exactly one week before I went down. Couldn't have cut it any closer. My buddy applied the same day as me and still hasn't received his yet.

Florida's site says mine has been issued, but 2-4 weeks to print and mail.

 

That's what it says on-line for me. But both the human phone rep, and the computer telephony voice said "Issued, printed and mailed."  That could be, simply, to shut me up :D , but we'll see.

But, Utah still good in like 31 other states and cheap renewals.  I'm keeping mine. For PA, OC or gonna wait to see what happens.  There is fallout brewing in the PA state house, time will tell.  Short story is you can OC in PA so it may backfire in her face.

I am with you. I still want it. Just figures the timing is like it is.

 

I would hope PA ousts her!

AZ was issued 05/06/2014 and postmarked 05/07.

 

FL was issued 05/07/2014 and postmarked 05/09.

 

 

A little too late for UT, but... Ah well.  :dontknow:

As soon as you'll get your first CCW Don't forget to apply for the PA non-resident CCW before they change the law there as well. As of now in order to get a PA Non Resident you need a CCW from any other state. It does not need to be a resident CCW.

I'm pretty sure you need a CCW from your home of residence.

I concur.  You need to have a CCW from your state of primary domicile. Otherwise, we'd all be doing that without a care in the world. :facepalm:

Not according to their website, it says you must have a CCW from your state of residence to apply for their non resident permit. I actually looked that up today out of curiosity.

My bad... I intended to suggest you'll apply for you CT as in Connecticut CCW permit... All this talk about PA recently has my fingers typing one state and my brain thinking of another..

 

CT requires a prior CCW from any state. Similar to the way NH used to be before they changed to require a Resident CCW. I got my NH CCW last year under the old law so my permit is valid until it expires. The just wont let me renew in 4 years.

 

I travel for Business so i have actually picked up 11 CCW's . The 10 in the photo plus Main. At first I initially collected them just for the hell of it but im glad i got several whil i had the chance. TX and NH are my only coverage for PA now... AZ used to cover my for when i got to Las Vegas but NV dropped recip with AZ so the NV CCW is my only coverage there, ect, ect... So much has changed in the last two years...

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
