God News - Carry Class
Earlier this year Iowa passed a new "Shall Issue" carry law. Something long over due IMO and it shall be instated on Jan 1. Well I had a call from a neighbor and occasional hunting partner yesterday. It seems that the required class is described as such in the new law: (paraphrasing) A person has only to take a handgun safety course by a NRA instructor, or a course by a LE agency, or received training in the military or be in law enforcement. No stipulations on the course what so ever or when you received the training. So learning this, my neighbor has contacted the NRA and is having an instructor come to his house and put on a 4 hour class. Cost will be $50 and there will be no range time. Under the new law no qualifying is necessary and this class will meet the guidelines for the law. To say the least, both the wife and I are signed up.
To tell the truth I'm shocked that the new law is so vague and has so little requirements. Iowa went from being one of the hardest to get carry permits to one of the easiest in the blink of an eye.
BTW, new law is good for open or concealed and the are reciprocating all permits from other states.
Today is a happy day.

Re: God News - Carry Class
That is God news
Seriously, my daughter and soon to be husband are moving to Iowa City soon. My in-laws live in CR and one of my brothers lives in Dubuque - so now I can "legally" carry there when I visit.
It always confounded me that Iowa, which is basically a very conservative state would have such libtard laws.
Sorry - not to make this a political thread, just the way I see it.
Congrats!!

Re: God News - Carry Class
My wife and I had ten hours of classroom and shooting at an indoor range to get our CCL. We shot 100 rounds, and were scored on the results. I'm happy for you, but I like our system better, it may cut out some deadwood.
We'll be remembered for what we've done, not what we have.

Re: God News - Carry Class
Sounds a lot like utah where we live. We moved here in febuary 2005. I went for my permit and was also surprised that there was no range time. I was all ready to shoot. I did have to qualify on my job for 35 years prior. Besides getting fingerprinted and a background check the class was just listening to a 4 hour philibuster on safety and the laws involved.
Re: God News - Carry Class
Wisconsin needs a new govenor , to get concealed carry passed. The present govenor is not running for reelection so we'll see what we get this fall.
Re: God News - Carry Class
Missouri requires range time as well. Now, here, it differs from Class (instructor) to class, as to HOW MANY rounds. Law SAYS 50 practice, 20 "qualifiers".. and says you need to show safety etc with BOTH a revolver and a Semi auto. Some make you "show by handling", the safety part, and you shoot 70 with whatever you choose. The guy I went to takes it a step further... you show safety with both, THEN you have to shoot 70 with BOTH types!! 140 rds total! Now this I wasn't expecting, BUT, I must have been "pumped" that day.... 140/140!! The kid was hot! LOL!!! That and the Colt Diamondback he loaned me (not expecting to need to shoot a revolver, I only took my CZ75) for the revolver part was SWEET!! Nothing like a well tuned Quality gun!
BenT.. I don't understand the last few holdouts (states) on this.. it's PROVEN CCW drops crime.... other than Libs wanting to PROTECT their voters (CRIMINALS! yes. I MEANT it! ) WHAT is their reason for justifying such a STUPID stance???

Re: God News - Carry Class
I still wish Illinois would wise up. I'd sure give Chicago to anyone, just for the asking. Strange, I'll be able to carry in all the surrounding states on my Florida permit, but not here.

Re: God News - Carry Class
Good for you As far as I'm concerned, ALL of the states should be like like it is here in Pennsylvania----pay your $46---they check you out and as long as you have not been stupid, you get a call to come pick it up. Its good for 5 years.
While some may say there is a concern for classroom instruction, the way I see it is that everyone who wants a permit is a "gun person" already and gun people, unlike the "others", have an IQ that is a step above a corn stalk that the "others" always seem to have.
I don't know anyone (in my circle of friends) who does NOT have a carry permit. --------Sixgun

Re: God News - Carry Class
WY is an OC state, but if you want to pay the State Tax to carry in the winter (just in case your coat covers your sidearm) or want to protect the sensabilities of the Hippies during the summer, all you have to do is get printed, flash your DD214 and pay your Tax... every 5 years.
In Indiana all you had to do was pay your Tax. Once.
But in both cases they have you on the Tax Rolls (no, no no, it is NOT a Gun Registration database... it's a Fee Payment Record... )
