Logged onto the state web-site to start a renewal application and they generated a handy dandy checklist of stuff I was required to give them before they'd process my application.
The major Item was several hours of 'training" and a competency exam at a local range.
Not really a biggie, I just had to find a place with a class available that I could participate in and get paperwork to the state before my license expired.
State passed a new law, that after 2010 on a third or subsequent renewal you only have to get refresher training every 10 years. Wonderful, I thinks. My last refresher was in 2008.
So I take the class. Again, no biggie, because I like the subject. Listened to a cop talk about the law and deadly force, and then sent 50 rounds down-range at a B27 target close enough to spit on. Score 249 of 250 with my Kimber Ultra Carry II in .45ACP.
Now I've got the certificate. I carefully attach it to the barcoded checklist thing that the state gave me. GIVE US THIS, OR WE WON'T GIVE YOU THAT, it says.
Mid-day Saturday, I've got my pile of paper for the state. I stuff it into an envelope and apply a stamp. No mail on Sunday.
Monday morning, I put the package into my mail box for the route carrier.
Monday afternoon, I come home and my renewal license is in the mailbox waiting for me.
Dang.
That's either great service or... ?
