How Many People Have a CCW License?

[hiram1]

i have one and the swmbo has one the kido will have one next week

[TXGunNut]

I got one of the first ones here in TX, had one ever since. After 25 yrs as a LEO you can bet I carry more than the license.

[Charley]

The Mrs and I recieved ours in the mail almost a week before the law went into effect in Texas. Have carried ever since.

In Michigan we have a CPL, or concealed pistol license. That technicality keeps our concealed weapons limited to pistols, no knives etc..
Also, I don't carry 100% of the time.

[GREENCOUNTYPETE]

yes , carry every day

[alamogunr]

I've had one since 1995 or 1996. Back then we had to be bonded. I don't remember when that requirement was removed. I actually had two permits because the permit listed the handgun that you qualified with. I qualified with two.

I had carried a pistol or had it next to me 24/7 for a lot of years. Upon retiring, I stopped carrying all the time, Had a hard time, felt naked..LOL.. That didnt last long, There was a robbery at a Drug store in my neighborhood where the perp exicuted 4 people. Back to carrying 24/7 no matter where I am. Carry extra ammo if going into NYC....LOL

Although a CCW is not required in Arizona for concealed carry, I am currently waiting for mine to show up in the mail.

The wife and I both have CCW and have since MO became a right to carry state. That is a good law we can live with.

I have one. I carry on Sundays (wife finally noticed 2 weeks ago after church when I was changing my shirt) but not very often on other days.

[Mooseman]

While us Alaskans don't need one now , I have one in case I travel to a CCW State that allows Alaskan permits , especially Florida !
I carry with 2 spare mags because a gun without ammo is not good to throw at someone.

I would if I could. The 4th Circuit Hearing orals for the Woollard case were today. Now a wait for the decision then it will be appealed to the supreme court and if they take the case I may get a chance at a CCW before I die in my "MAY" issue state. You see as the law is now we have to prove we have a "good and substantial reason" to get a license and almost no reason is good enough or substantial enough.

You should be able to present the evening news as "good and substantial reason"........

Good morning
In Peru every handgun is issued with a CC. Why would anyone buy a handgun and not carry it for protection is the basic idea. Recreational shooting is not a common hobbie.
Then there is the great state of ILL.

i have had mine for 35 years. did not carry much when i first got it. i guess it took getting used to because i came from a state that would not issue you one. then i started carring more and more. now with the way things are i will not leave home without it and extra ammo.

Back in the day I carried condoms, even though most likely I wasn't going to get lucky. I carried them just in case. Now I carry my M&P Shield for the same reason, just in case.

Had one for a number of years. Next renewal, I'll have to get a new picture taken. We can renew every other time here without having to get a new passport photo. The part that I don't understand, we have to take a new class every time.

Most instructors in Michigan say you have to take a refresher course for renewal, to get the business. My wife's instructor gave out a book, and showed her that only reviewing the material was required.. My instructor showed a movie and wanted us to return in 5 years, hers gave her the book to study for renewal......

Me and the wife have had ours since I got out of the service. and we carry every where 2/7.

I don't have one but may get one in the coming year just because. MO is an open carry state and there is no requirement to have a CCW to have a piece stashed away in your vehicle. I make sure I don't go to places where I would feel it necessary to carry concealed.

Best wishes,

Every time I put on another pair of pants, I put my holster on my belt. I get up in the morning, dress and holster my pistol. I carry it so often, many times I forget to take it out before I go in the Sheriff's office or post office. I get half way to the door, remember I'm carrying and have to go back to the truck to lock it up.

Living in a very agricultural/rural area, carrying a pistol is like carrying a knife. It's part of your every day dress.
