Title: Finally received my permit!
Post by: JonathanG on July 22, 2015, 10:44:45 PM: Hello all, I'm Jonathan and I live in Kent County. I dropped my packet, and my wife's packet, off at the Kent County Prothonotary Office on March 2nd. I received my permit today. It took a 142 days. I was starting to get a bit nervous because, my wife received her permit on June 2nd, exactly at the 3 month time frame the Prothonotary clerk told me to expect when I took the applications in. As it turns out, mine just took longer than my wife's! Anyway, it felt pretty good to finally be able to carry today. I am pleased to be, as of today, not only a member of the forum, but, an official card carrying member of the forum!

I know The Guide put all the annoucements they publish together under the "Legal Notices" section. They have averaged 10-12 a week since January.

If so, that will be taken care of under Governor Lafferty.

Post by: RetCapt1994 on November 07, 2015, 02:52:20 PM: Congrats and now you can be safe. I am a member of www.ccwsafe.com and I suggest you check out this ccw insurance. This outfit was started by former law enforcement and IMHO a very reputable company. Also there is a great book by Massad Ayoob, Deadly Force, Understanding Your Right To Self Defense. This book covers it all for anyone carrying or just defending the home. I have been carrying for just over 50yrs. I read this book a few months ago and it was a very good review. Again congrats.

Post by: oldgraygeek on November 08, 2015, 12:00:01 AM: I like the idea of CCW legal defense insurance... but we would need to use our own attorney, not theirs.
Joe's the guy we want if the guns get fired...

How much does it cost to keep Joe on retainer?
