Just received my permit this week, after a 6 month wait. Took my course from a member of this forum, back in February. Also have a Utah permit and expect to apply for PA soonest. Still searching for the ideal concealment holster. I want to carry a DA "something" that I already own. That narrows it down to a Mak or Beretta96 autoloader or a large frame revolver. Not the most ideal choices for CCW, except maybe the Mak.
I've been shooting since I was in the VietNam era Navy and loading nearly as long. Way back then, it was all about volume: send lots of lead downrange,
frequently. These days, it is much more about quality: how accurate / consistent can I be. I am an NRA Life member, DSSA member, SAF, and Naval Institute.
Have also noted complaints about the size and workmanship of the permit itself, in other sections of this forum. I believe mine is not so bad. Yeah, it is
generously proportioned, but some minimal and judicious trimming and a re-lamination should have it small enough to fit my wallet, all without disturbing any
of the State's text, signatures or pictures. 3/16" off the paper border on the right (picture) side and the same off the top and it is "good to go". The State
seal, I will agree, is atrocious. Looks like a fourteenth generation, blurry color copy, not a letterpress professional print job.
I look forward to a healthy and respectful exchange of ideas. I am to the right, for my politics and mainstream WASP for the rest. Regards!
