Cool!  Question...  if you had your training certificate when you handed in your application woudl that have sped the process up at all?

I've thought of that too. I imagine it would if the class was recent. I know they used to require the class before you applied and then they just mailed you your permit if you were approved.

thanks for the reply....moosie i think it would speed up the process if u send it in with the application becuase if u wait u would the office will send u a letter when u are approved then u have to send it in...so if u send it in with the application u cut out the time that the prothonotary would have to send you the mail stating u have to send in the certificate,.,,,if that makes sense

If your gonna take your class early make sure you have no black mark on your back ground.

No black marks here, but curious as to your definition of "black mark". 

I plan on sending everything in all together. Regardless of whether I get my permit approved or not (can't see why I wouldnt.. but then again we're in a "may issue" state!) I think the class will be good and a refresher for me. I don't plan on selling any of my firearms (although I won't carry concealed without a permit) so whether I take the class before or after I think is good thing.  I wish I could get hubby to go to the class too... but he's never shot anything (yet) and has no interest in carrying or even having a gun LOL! 

Thanks for your info guys.  Hope to send everything in the middle of March after my class is finished. 

Thanks! Moosie

A black mark would be any type of assault charge, restraining order, ect...

If you have a DUI, public intox, ect... you should be fine.

Any arrest in the past five years may be grounds for denial. Remember the DOJ looks for reasons to say NO. Remember who's in charge there.

Well, thankfully, I've been a good girl.  So no worries here, I was just curious as to what they look at as a "black mark". 

Thanks!

Were you contacted by any investigator while your application was with the DOJ?

i went to the prothonatory office today to drop off my training certificate which i did yesterday ..the lady there confirmed that the judge granted my permit..she said wait one to two weeks and the pemit will be mailed to me...i started the process in noverber last year...i dropped off the application the first week in december with everything except the training certificate so in total it if i add the 2 more weeks i  have to wait about 15 weeks ...almost 3 months...i think thats good time because they have alot of applicants...i will let you guys and gal (i think we only have one female member here..correct me if i am wrong she is Moosie)..thank u for reading

I was never contacted either and I don't think any of my references were, Taurus 221 did they call you about me? I personlly wouldn't just tuck it in my pants. First off I'll say Plaxico! Also if you have it in a holster and somebody sees it they may just think your a LEO of some sort. If its tucked in your pants they may think your a crook. But if thats the way you are most compfortable maybe look into some of those clips that attach to your gun and slip onto your belt. I've tried them with a few Kel Tecs and for those guns they really do a nice hob.

Uncle Mikes makes a nice universal holster for like $15.00 that's surprisingly comfortable

I think I'd be more worried about it starting out like Plaxico and ending up more like Mr. Bobbit!  OUCH!  With the variety of holsters out there today, I'm sure you can find one that will work for you.

She was pissed off at him and cut it off while he slept...  tossed it out the window and a dog got it.  (Seriously) and the cops found it ok, but slobbery -- we're assuming from the dog :)  and they tried to reattach it.  I believe this was because he was cheating on her?  Yeah... they got a divorce and he cheated on the next woman too.  MORON.

...do u recommend carrying without a holster?
EEEEEKKK!  No, that probably wouldn’t be your best bet.  First, your body twists, flexes, and shifts a lot as you go about your daily routine.  Whether you're reaching up for that can of peas at Acme, bending down to pick up a quarter off of the ground, or getting out of your car – things are a shiftin’.  You don’t want the weapon to shift a lot, not only because it may fall out, but also because you don’t want to reinforce the newbie practice of constantly checking your weapon (which is giveaway that you are carrying a weapon).  There’s also the wear factor of the weapon sliding against the fabrics, and the fact that perspiration doesn’t really do anything beneficial for the weapon.  And, finally, there’s the smoothness of drawing/holstering that you simply can’t get by tucking it into your undies.     

For the money, Galco makes some decent rigs.  Also, because they make a lot of them, they’re always in stock.  And there’s also that local guy who advertised on this board about custom-made rigs.  You will probably wind up with a few, though, as you experiment.   So, I wouldn’t drop any REAL coin until you are exactly sure of what you want, like, and need.

OMG, I had totally forgotten about that!!!   Yes.  The moron made money off his reattached appendage.
