Concealed carry
 
What's the fastest way to get permit? I'm about to take the class. Seems like I remember someone saying they drove to baton rouge to reduce time?

Matt G 12-04-2015 06:33 PM

I think the process has sped up after the surge from Newton subsided. I'd still recommend taking the trip. The ladies in the office are very helpful if there are any issues with your application. Plus bring the old lady to eat at PF Changs afterwards. She'll appreciate it.

marshrunner757 12-04-2015 06:45 PM

Thanks. Sent u a PM

Wife loves PF Changs, but there's also TJ Ribs, can't go wrong there either!!

That was me. I made the trip to BR. It was kind of a pain in the a** but worth the trip. I waited there for over an hour to be fingerprinted. But I got my permit in the mail in less than a week.

Loneshark 12-04-2015 09:24 PM

I had the same experience as BJ but my wait was less than an hour, maybe 30 minutes.

2nd Amendment is all you need to carry a gun

It's your American right ..

That concealed chores is just a money maker

I carry a gun 95% of the time and ain't a damn person can tell me other wise

I agree with you 100%. But I'd rather nobody see that I'm packing. Out on the boat or running errands I open carry. But dining out and such I would prefer to conceal legally.

BassYakR 12-07-2015 02:30 PM

Conceal carry! I prefer to not make myself the target. Although open carry may scare a few from carrying out their plan... Id rather no one know whos carrying

You see, I tend to think the opposite. If I am a criminal, I'd take out the person that I know has a gun first. You have no clue what other people may be concealing and that would make me think twice.

People are generally blind to someone carrying a gun.

I carry everyday, everywhere with very few exceptions. I have been carrying a compact gun more often lately, but I carried a full size gun with 5" barrel for years. People in the store didn't notice, hell I had cops come in the store and ask why I wasn't carrying a gun when I had it on...

Oh, my bad. I misunderstood.

duckman1911 12-08-2015 12:56 PM

I like to open carry. True there are two sides to the coin and it may make me a target but I'm betting not. Statistics show that bad guys like easy victims. If homeboy goes in the store to rob it I'm betting that when he sees my gun he'll wait until I leave before making his move. After I leave my gun has done it's job and what happens inside is not my problem. I carry my gun to save me not to save the world. Bring your own gun. Granted I realize there is no perfect plan. If there was a perfect plan you would never need a gun

marshrunner757 12-13-2015 05:50 PM

Took the class this weekend. I have one question. For any of you divorced people out there, do you have to send the actual divorce decree or can it be a copy?

rustyb 12-13-2015 06:20 PM

I took it this weekend also. And yes you are supposed to get the divorce papers from the courts office.

marshrunner757 12-13-2015 06:36 PM

Crap. The woman is still causing me problems lol. Where did u take it?

Gonna go to baton rouge to speed process up

marshrunner757 12-13-2015 06:50 PM

Doing mine online said it saves some time. I thought about making the drive but not gonna do it.

bjhooper82 12-13-2015 07:11 PM

I made the trip to BR and got mine in less than a week. I've heard that online is taking at least 3-5 weeks.

kcinnick 12-13-2015 07:51 PM

I would say come to Baton Rouge and stop by the store, we are 5 minutes from State police headquarters without traffic... however, I am embarrassed by the lack of inventory right now! People started getting panicky with Paris, and California put people into a full blown panic mode. People are coming in and buying guns off of a list of stuff we are waiting to arrive... Hopefully we catch up some this week with inventory. We are waiting for Hundreds of guns to replace what we sold, it is crazy.

After reading over the app more closely it says not to submit original paper work unless specified. For marital status it says "copy". So, that's what I sent.

BassYakR 12-15-2015 08:14 AM

Where did you go to get a copy of your divorce Decree? I cant find mine.

Clerk of Courts in the Parish of filing will be able to provide a certified copy.

I had mine put up and also already had a PDF of it on my work PC. Just like pulling it up now and then to put a smile on my face. [emoji4] I would think the courthouse could issue you another one.

marshrunner757 12-16-2015 01:27 PM

Finger prints done and mailed. Now we play the waiting game.

Josh C 12-16-2015 02:13 PM

My wife and I both did ours last month. We made the trip to Baton Rouge for finger prints and to turn in our paper work. I received my card in under 7 days. It took her about 12 days.

Josh

marshrunner757 12-16-2015 03:56 PM

I came close to making the drive. But it would kill me to miss a day of fishing to rush my permit.

rustyb 01-27-2016 12:04 PM

I received mine back in about 15 days.

Top Dawg 01-27-2016 04:21 PM

Looks like louisiana is pushing to get away from requiring a permit to carry concealed.

The only way I would support that is if you still have to take that training course. I'm OK with doing away with the current permit, but I think you should still have to be in possession of something that says you completed a training and the instructor has signed off on it. My parents both have concealed carry permits and said they've seen people in the classes that, well, I wouldn't feel comfortable with them carrying a concealed weapon of they had not taken the class. There still needs to be some form of safety taught if people are going to carry.

I think that goes for any gun carried, whether concealed or open. Just because a person owns a gun doesn't mean they know how to use it safely. Didn't a football player shoot himself in the leg when his gun discharged accidentally?

And for what it's worth, since I'm saying this, I have taken firearm safety classes.

I'll support mandatory safety courses to exercise the RKBA right after we implement passing mandatory civics for exercising the right to vote.

Abuse of the right to vote has caused and will cause much more harm than abuse of the RKBA.

Ha, you could find people on both sides of the aisle that don't know crap about civics. And isn't that a requirement in high school? I know I took civics and free enterprise, and you have to pass both in order to graduate. At least I did.

Half the politicians in this country seemingly do not understand civics.

I'll support it if it's nation wide. A state by state Constitutional carry does nothing for those that travel and still wish to conceal. Once a state removes the permitting process, they give up reciprocity with the states they had it with. I'm not saying we shouldn't have Constitutional carry. I'm just saying make it the law of the land.... The way it was intended to be.

As far as a mandated safety course, Hell no. I'll agree with highly recommended, but not mandated. We are mandated too much as it is.

Smalls 01-28-2016 09:25 AM

So I'm assuming by the use of the term "Constitutional Carry", the founding fathers were supportive of concealed carry?

Strange if you ask me. Why the hell would they need to conceal a gun? Maybe if they were out on some "secret mission" against the Red Coats?

Seriously, there are enough stupid people that are careless with guns. I don't want some idiot carrying a gun, unbeknownst to me, that doesn't have a freaking clue how to use it. And judging by the number of stories that come out about some kid getting a hold of daddies gun that wasn't locked up, or some trigger happy idiot (I'm not talking about those cops either), I think it's a good idea to have some form of firearm training.

Then again, hunter safety is required of all hunters, and look how many morons don't identify their target before shooting.

I'm all for smart gun ownership. It's the stupid people that own guns that concerns me. And our population seems to be growing increasingly stupid.

It's my right to ba able to hunt. Why do they make me take hunters safety. I can open carry without a safety course but can't shoot a deer on my property without a safety course?

Constitutional Carry is not specific to concealed carrying. It also covers open carry. There are states that still do not allow the open carrying of firearms. Constitutional carry would give citizens the ability to carry in any manner they choose.

Not really sure what your point is here..... Because our Founding Fathers, in your opinion, might not have needed to conceal carry, all concealed carry should be banned?

Nah, just being a smart *** really. "Constitutional Carry" makes it sound as if it was some ideal of the Founding Fathers, the guys that wrote the Constitution.

I'm all for the right to bear arms. But I think it should be in a responsible way. And some people just can't be responsible with guns. There isn't a single person I know that has as concealed carry that I don't trust. I can think of a lot of people I know or have known that would make me extremely nervous knowing they could carry a concealed gun on their body LEGALLY with no training.
