matty 810 Posted December 17, 2018 To get my FL resident CWP, and that's calendar days. I could have used my DD214 as the training requirement, but decided to take a class at my local range. Was worth it from a learning the actual law POV. It also confirmed how completely fucked up NJ is after reading all of the Florida law on firearms. Now have to figure out what to get/buy for carry here. The instructor carried a full size M&P 9 in a kydex IWB holster made by a local. But he works in a gun shop full time. What works for hre rest of you? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Glock guy 1,127 Posted December 17, 2018 Should be getting my FL non-resident renewal any day now. I carry a Springfield Armory 9 mm subcompact in a hybrid IWB holster (either Crossbreed Super Tuck or Galco King Tuck) whenever I have the opportunity. Can't tell you how envious I am that you've made it out of NJ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishnut 2,358 Posted December 17, 2018 Damn why so long? Lmao J/K. my NH resident permit took a little less than 3 weeks with no fingerprints or training requirement. Just a 1 page form that included 3 character references that were never contacted. But then again were comstutional carry up here so I did not need a permit to carry. I only got the permit for reciprocity with other states and because most people up here will not do a FTF sale if you dont have a permit. How much does a FL resident permit cost? My NH permit was 10 bucks. I carry my shield in a N8 tactial holster the professional model and or my S&W 649 in a desantis pocket holster. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Screwball 483 Posted December 17, 2018 I forget how long it took for the non-resident... But need to remember that issue with them not doing backgrounds on certain amounts of applicants. Once something like that is uncovered, magnifying glasses come out. I’m sure there will be a wait increase for at least a year or two... until the government finds something else to complain about.

DaveMcL 18 Posted December 17, 2018 When my wife and I moved to Carbon County Pa it took 15 minutes to get our CCW. I already had the paper work filled out to save time. $20 for 5 years. It was easier to get our CCWs than change over our drivers license. As far as concealed carry I use an Alien in the waistband , a Blackhawk on my right hip and I recently picked up a Galco Miami Classic shoulder system. Good luck to all Dave 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How is Carbon Co? Wife n I are plotting a NJ exit in that general direction (Wayne/Pike/Monroe/Luzerne/Lackawanna/Carbon), and would be interested in your take on the area Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YankeeSC 1,204 Posted December 17, 2018 It took 6 weeks for my SC CWP as well. Been carrying my Glock 26 in an Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3 IWB holster and it has been working out really well. Very comfortable. Wore it on a 5 hour drive too. I also have an M&P 9mm but haven't carried that yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The officer even told me to have a great day when my LTCF was done being laminated lol! Different world.... for now at least. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My G42 fits nice in the front pocket. Feel's like a cell phone. Another plus for pocket carry is when using a public restroom. You don't have to worry about your weapon like IWB. Every once in a while you read a story about a gun being left behind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mustang69 505 Posted February 4, 2019 I got my NH resident permit - if you want to call it that - the instant my NH driver's license printed out. NH doesn't require permits so as soon as I became a resident I was able to legally carry concealed. I did apply for (and got) a firearms license that took about 4 days or so - it's only used for reciprocity, and some in-state face to face sales where requested. I also have a couple of non-resident permits for various states as needed. What I carry depends on the weather and how I'm dressed. For pocket carry I have a Ruger LCP with a leather pocket holster, for t-shirt carry I have a Kimber Micro9 with OWB Kydex holster, and if I have a jacket or bulky sweatshirt I have a Springfield XD with OWB Kydex paddle,or a Dan Wesson Valor with a shoulder rig. I also have a S&W model 60 with an ankle holster but haven't carried it yet. Living in Free America offers so many choices... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njpilot 671 Posted February 6, 2019 Hey Matt, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Didn't know you moved til I just saw this. Happy for you! i generally pocket carry every day, usually my Ruger LC9 or the slightly larger and heavier S&W Shield .45. I'd carry the Shield everyday, but with pocket carry, it's a little big, but really like that gun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matty 810 Posted February 6, 2019 Thanks, Keith! Just checking email and gun forum stuff and saw yet post. Moved in July, mainly because of work. Have about a 20 min commute now barring traffic. About the only thing I miss is cjrpc and being able to go there and shoot without much hassle. No 200 yd private ranges close by :-( I did end up buying an LCR in 38 spl +P. After trying it and some compact 9s, decided on that. I still travel to military bases and go to kid school things so can't carry every day. Revolver go bang each time and it's not too bulky. Plus have been doing better with wheelguns lately. Picked one up from a guy that works near airport like me. Came with crimson trace grip, hogue grip, iwb holster, speed loader, box and papers. More comfy to shoot with the hogue grip. CT grip was ok, but those have not been my thing. Have carried on belt at 4-5 and in pocket. Will probably pick up a pocket holster for it for summer. Hope all's well with you in Jax! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
