I just spend the weekend in class for 12+ hrs for the CCW certification. I never really gave it too much thought until my son did the website for a local guy that just got certified to to be an instructor.

He didn't charge the guy anything because he's a friend. The guy offered him a spot in the class for free and also he could bring me or my husband along too. I decided to go and it was wonderful. I had never shot any type of gun before nor did I even know the difference between a semi-automatic and a revolver.

Parts of the class were kind of boring but the instructor warned us prior and said that the state requires them to cover specific topics.

For Xmas I will be treating myself to a small revolver and continue to practice at a local shooting range.

I'm probably the last person in the world anyone would think would ever take this class. Tomorrow I'll go to the local sheriff's dept and turn in my paperwork along with the state application for the license. They will have to do a background check and fingerprinting. It then should take about a 4-6 weeks to receive the license.

Anyone else licensed or thinking about it?
