Concealed weapons class!

It covers just the basics. Different types of pistol firearms, different types of ammunition. Lots of situational stuff and tons and tons of safety stuff. You don't walk out with your certificate that says you can carry concealed you walk out with a certificate that says you took the class and then you take that to the sheriff's office and get your permit to carry. I have a friend who teaches these, he taught one at my house for a few of my friends to get our permits.

 

You sit and listen. Was told pretty much common sense things. To easy to get one but glad I got mine.

 

yeah its way to easy now, when i did it it was a 2 day thing, one class room setting and test, and the other was the next day at the range, you had to shoot a certain score or you couldn't get it, and also had to show how to handle the gun safely.

I believe they mail out your permit to carry/buy but not 100% on that

 

When I did mine it was a full day ½ class and ½ qualifying shooting which the class that went out to shoot first was so bad it took them like 6 hours and we had to shoot in the dark I still got a 98% hit rate but that was before I joined the Army so was about 9/10 years ago. Forgot to add you don't get a certificate to carry you just get a certificate that says you completed the class which you present to the Sheriff’s office and if approved THEN you can carry but most places now will not allow firearms on their property so places are very limited. I did locate some really awesome non-lethal rounds made of rubber with pepper capsule on the back of the projectile and won't penetrate the outer shell of walls if you’re interested in non-lethal rounds.

I took my class online. Total joke. All commen sense stuff. But i can now conceal carry. Felt the need to conceal carry after i realized how easily they are handing them out

 

Out of the guns listed go with big d. You might want to watch out though on the less lethal rounds. Iowa is a flee state. I was told not to even use regular only hollow point. If you feel you have to use your weapon you shoot to kill. If you shoot to disarm or just drop them how in danger was your life. Shoot to kill dead men don't come back or tell a tale.

 

Just a heads up Travis, they will not let you qualify with a .22, I think it has to be 380 or larger which makes sense. You want stopping power! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif I've got to say I love my Glock, it's a 40 cal and I only carry it with hollow points. I actually just pre-trained a buddy of mine by taking him out to the range to a get a feel for what he would be qualifying with, I would recommend most people to do just that. Good Luck!

 

Love my springfield xd 40. And my glock 27

 

Actually with the new law, there is no shooting requirement anymore.  There are some classes that are only 90 minutes, get your card, take it to the sherriff and boom permit to carry with never firing a shot.  While I am not one for extra laws this scares me a bit.  Someone who maybe new to firearms, never fired a shot could be packing, something just isn't right there.  I wish they would bring the shooting part back personally.  I like the idea that it is not up to the Sheriff who can have them anymore but getting a permit without shooting a gun, that's not right.  Not trying to hyjack the thread just pointing out the change in the law last year.
