Epic comment!

No list in SC. You earn your permit via 8-hour class with shooting qualification. Then you carry whatever you want to.

Thought about getting an ankle holster for my 4" M500
but in Oklahoma we have caliber restriction of nothing larger than .45.

Georgia is easy and quick. Only an application and background check and the permit was issued in about a week.

In NEB, permit is for the individual, not the gun.....qualify with whatever you please, carry what you please

In Washington there are no requirements for taking classes or qualifying with a particular firearm.

 

[alaskavett]

Permit?

I have no stinking permit.... Kyle

You have to qualify with a particular gun, or with the same gun you want to carry? Where is this? Just curious.

In California one has to qualify with each of the, up to three, handguns one wants to carry if the county sheriff that issues the permit so requires.

In California one has to qualify with each of the, up to three, handguns one wants to carry if the county sheriff that issues the permit so requires.

To re-enforce/clarify re: California permits; that is discretionary to the Sheriff or issuing agency.

Years ago in Humboldt County I had 5 (FIVE) handguns written in on my permit. We ONLY had to qualify with the largest caliber only. The law hasn't changed. There is a LOT of discretionary power in the hands of the issuing agency.

For instance, one could simply be restricted per California & Federal Code as to where you can and can't carry. But in Humboldt County they had a rubber stamp of several restrictions they routinely added to the back of the CA flimsy "permit". Then you could ask that individual added restrictions be waived. One was a restriction against carrying on school grounds (which isn't otherwise illegal if you have a permit). I was in school at the time completing an adminstration of justice degree with a firearms component. They struck that added restriction. There was another one about carrying in places serving alcohol. Part of the reason I wanted a permit was traveling across the county with very valuable music instruments in my possession on the way to gigs. I didn't want to leave the piece in the car. That made sense to the Sheriff and he waved that restriction.

As a side note along the lines of the OP's gag: I was interviewing for a position as the armed level probation officer (one level is/one isn't) in Humboldt and during the final 3 person panel interview, the retired Sheriff on the panel reached under his coat, pulled out a Glock model 19 9mm, set it on the table and asked, "What would you say if I told you your job requires you to strap on one of these each day?"

I leaned in to see which Glock it was and replied, "I'd probably ask if I could carry the Glock .45 I'm carrying now instead."

THAT cracked up all three of the interviewers!

When I wanted to qualify to carry my 6.5" 500 Magnum for my CCW.

Priceless....just priceless.

Just could not resist: You should have told him that it was your CCW BUG.... Doh!

Not sure if it's like this in other states, but here's another thing about Oklahoma's Title 21... If you qualify with a Derringer, then you can only carry a Derringer. If you qualify with a revolver, then you can only carry a revolver. But, if you qualify with a semi-automatic, you can carry a semi-automatic and/or a revolver and/or a derringer.
