Pretty broad brush there, and untrue. Every officer (and it’s quite a few) I know is quite happy about civilians carrying now and is pissed that the process is so murky and onerous. The law is complicated, new, and the process has changed quickly multiple times (at one time you had to qual with the guns carried) with different tiers of permit holders with different allowances based on the timing of your permit, who signed it, in what county it was signed and what injunction, lawsuit, or process was in place at the time. Don’t attribute personal malice to confusion due to changing requirements, lack of accurate guidance from judges, attorneys, or the AGs office, and different standards set forth county by county.

This has gone away. The sheet we instructors are required to fill in, SP.182, for proof of completing the use of force training and the CCARE qual has no place to write in the gun that was used. There is no way to submit quals for multiple guns any more.

It DIRECTLY contradicts Bruen. But, as the case with most Dims, THEY DON'T GIVE A FLYING FOOK ABOUT THE CITIZENRY AND THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

How dare you introduce common sense and critical thinking into the discussion! Who do you think you are?

Pike County no problem at all for Out of State carry permits. Sheriiff is friendly and staff is excellent. In and out in less then 5 minutes after applying online! $20.00 for 5 years, cc size and laminated. Can't beat that!

I don’t believe so….ill have to ask him who it was… he told me but wasnt anyone I knew and thr name didn’t stick in my brain

Not This Guy...........

Yeah, your friend needs to get things squared away. It's administrative bullshit (that we have to pay for) but the ramifications for NOT having it would be severe. A simple traffic stop probably wouldn't be an issue (cop looks at ID card and hands it back), but if there's a situation where any more digging is done, your friend could get jammed up.

If his original qual did not include the use of force curriculum, his permit is currently invalid (as of 1/1/2024). He should contact his instructor to get a form SP.182 filled in and file it with his PD. If that means he has to take the UoF class, he will have to do that before his instructor will sign the SP.182. For my students that qualified with HQC2 modified, I only had them take the classroom instruction before signing their SP.182. There is nothing to say the shooting qual and UoF training have to take place on the same day. The day they completed the UoF class was the day they completed both parts, so that is the date I put on their forms.

Hmm... Even a Navy Seal could end up needing help and they can't always be together. I really hope this isn't where the story ends. It was just getting good. heh

I triple dog dare you to be more vague.

You mean not yet.

Bid it up for a good cause.

that quote should have made him unfit to be Gov and should have been removed. the real issue is the courts have failed the people

I remember Cuomo "there's no place for conservatives in MY state" Fuck him. Where is he now?

Thats part of the political calculation. Just make things so unpleasant and expensive in democrat run sates and cites people who can leave. With enough of them gone the dems have a free hand to do pretty much anything with no meaningful political opposition. Gov. Cuomo and Mayor Adams in NY have come right out and said as much.

how does this not go directly against bruen?

Our carpet-bagging first couple (he from Massachusetts and she from Virginia) deserve an extra large dose of tar and feathers. F 'em both, thank you.

A true freakin' asshole. Proves it every day.

You better check your math.

Thr current fees are high enough.... anything over 20 bucks at this point is egregious

Straight from his mouth, the Constitution is above his pay grade.

I agree, yet they’ve gotten away with it all these years.. fees, permits to purchase, taking some 6-9 months to get permits to purchase, continuing magazine restrictions ..etc,etc all infringements on constitutional rights yet they still stand today and increase the price and make as arduous as possible trying to find the point that people will finally give up on trying to exercise their rights ..whether it be money, time to process, or just too much hassle/ too many hoops…. 2 year permit?. Full initial process every 2 years with no reduced process for renewals… raise it to $200 people still doing it… ok raise it to $400… people still do it…next they’ll add more requirements and harder to achieve…like in person drop off and only 1 day a week in the middle of the day…or some other nonsense…. Govt as a whole is out of control there needs to be a reset button!

When you get the reissued permit, dont laminate it. Take it to staples and let them make a copy, then laminate them both. Then you have 2.

There's an old saying those who are good practice till they get it right those who become great practice till they can't get it wrong. When shit hits the fan muscle memory will take over because your thought process and reaction will be skewed

This sounds like you took a couple shooting classes and took away all the wrong information. One of the most important components of training for any gunfights - regardless of the distance - is to have an accuracy component at distance (typically 25 yards is the standard) in your training. Hitting at 3 yards does not translate to getting hits at 10, 15, 25, or beyond. Getting hits at 25 or 50 directly correlates to better performance up close. 1000000% This is right. Do not aspire to mediocrity. Be an asset with your firearm. Be more capable than you need to be. Carry the gun you shoot the best (in a duty caliber), be confident in your ability, and know your limitations.

I'm repeatedly puzzled by this mindset. Simple scenario - you are out with your spouse, kid, parent, or whoever you care about. Are they ever farther than 15 yards from you? If they are attacked is your best strategy to run away? Even if they are right next to you, if an attacker has a firearm, do you think their rounds are going to be no threat to you if you are 25 yards away? Bullets go way farther than that and move way faster than you can. Also, bad guys usually don't care what they hit. Being hit by chance is just as devastating as being hit on purpose - the bullet doesn't care. Just because you haven't built the skills to pull off a shot, don't pooh-pooh the idea that someone else may have. Yes, skills degrade under stress. However, if you start from a low skill with no stress and degrade that you have next to no skill. It is way worse than starting with a well developed skill that is practiced and tested under the (albeit minor) stress of a timer in competition and degrading that by a similar amount. Additionally, taking part in the practical shooting sports builds your mental capacity too. You get multiple reps of running your gun while having to think about all the things you need to do to solve the 'problem' in front of you. Running the gun becomes subconscious freeing your conscious mind to process what's going on around you. It appears you may have absorbed some of the "highly trained police officer" doctrine although you acknowledge that they often miss. That is bunk. LEO get minimal training at the academy. Those that take it seriously spend time (and often their own ammo) to build and maintain their shooting skills. Others worry about passing their quals twice a year. Most are in between. Regardless, what other people do is irrelevant. What you do is what counts. How would you feel if you found yourself in a dire situation, fired a few shots and hurt of killed an innocent bystander. Would you feel a little less bad if you had taken steps to mitigate the risk of that by building and testing your skills instead of ducking that responsibility by saying "nah, I don't believe that's even possible." Hitting a 12" target at 25 yards with a 2" barrel off hand is absolutely achievable - repeatedly too.

Your mindset is just very different than mine. I compete in action shooting matches (indoor and outdoor), take training classes, as well as punching paper at the range. It seems like you simply practice to be good enough to deal with an ambush at 3 yards. While it's better then nothing I suppose, to me it's a limiting mindset. I'd suggest you step away from 'good enough' and train more.

Mrs. Peel, Have you considered alterations to your dresses? In other words, adding an accessible slit in the side of the dress to allow you to carry in a belly band (as only one example). The slit would obviously have to be well thought out and you would have to have matching fabric to make it work, and it could be velcroed shut so that it's not obvious... Once you open up to alterations, I think there may be more options available to you. If you got with a good tailor/seamstress/dressmaker, I am certain if you find an open minded individual who understands your conundrum they could design and deploy a custom solution for you.

Well, yea! I was a breast fed baby,

You just wanted to post some bra pics admit it

Three Good options: I have a tactica and it is something you can forget your even wearing it. Sitting standing bending over the gun stays put and never pokes you. I also have a fobus, and a desantis OWB and a J Bullard IWB. None of them are perfect in all positions sitting/standing etc.

I believe she solved her problem. She married a Navy Seal. She no longer needs to carry anything.

What about all those poor gang members? How they gonna afford this shit? He will put the gangs right outta business, that bastard!
