My CCW qualification

[300_whisper]

Lets say the firearm was stolen from you and recovered at the scene of a crime. It is traced to the original purchaser whom you bought it from. Now, is that person going to perjure themselves and claim it was stolen from him to protect you or is he going to say I sold it to XYZ before the law went into effect before he remembers he originally bought it after the law went into effect?

If more than one person is involved in any transaction there is a 50% chance at minimum that more people will know about it. Roll the dice anyway you are comfortable with and live with the consequences.

Not in all states.

yeah our state doesnt require classroom or live firing for ccw but they do nics checks for all guns weather you have ccw or not. they did just vote in constitutional carry though

Rumor has it I get two checks a day whether I buy a gun or not in illinois. One for being in the CCW list and one for the stupid FOID. It is really helping the problems in Chicago ! ‍

"Well, then we're going to have to discuss this further at HQ. Better bring your toothbrush and your lawyer's phone number."

Luckily I’m in a free state and can sell to individuals. Or maybe I just lost them? Who knows? Crazy times.

I am a NC Justice Academy Certified CCW instructor, Certified NRA Basic Pistol Instructor, 40 year USPSA competitor, 3 Gun competitor, and a 28 year LEO veteran. I have been very fortunate to be able to shoot with some of the absolute worlds best, Military and Civilian. I do understand that too some individuals, a class may be boring and it may seem useless to some. Don't be so arrogant and self centered and carry a mind set that you can't learn anything. You are short changing yourself and possibly create problems for other that do want to learn. The simple reason it is called a class. The law requires it in most states. Some states do not.

I hope that anyone that gets their CCW, never has to get into a confrontation and lethal force has to be used. If it is the case that lethal force has to be used, I pray the victim has the "Mind Set" to end the threat. It is not the same as shooting a piece of paper or cardboard that does not shoot back. You have to be and must be honest with yourself and ask yourself, can you take another humans life. You need to know that answer in your mind before you enter into being a CCW permit holder. The permit will not, and does not put a giant S on your chest.

Just remember a couple of things, a bullet comes out of the barrel and it does not come back, no reset button. Second, a bullet has no eyes, it does not see race, color, religion, male, female, adult or child, innocent bystander, etc. A few things to consider in being a CCW permit holder. Use your right that has been granted to you by the law and be alert and stay safe.

Also, congrats on the OP on getting a CCW permit.

Maybe I can help you be a better instructor. Most of what you say in the following is YADA YADA BS and it makes people crazy!

This is fine (Just remember a couple of things, a bullet comes out of the barrel and it does not come back, no reset button.) it's good safety, but please!

Now the worst! (Use your right that has been granted to you by the law) Our right to keep and bear arms is not granted to us, as Citizens of the United States of America we are born with it and the Constitution of the United States prevents the government from infringing on those rights. It does not grant rights, the constitution protects rights from the government and instructors. I simply don't want to hear about your thoughts on the range if it does not have to do with safety.

All that can be taught is safety, proficiency with firearms or anything else comes with practice, you can run through BS scenarios all you want but, in the end, from my experiences violent confrontation is different every time.

Many times, those drills you run get you in trouble. I prefer to avoid and evade when possible, however if need I'll close the range and take care of business. I however unlike instructors do not tell people how to defend themselves.

I agree with you on a couple of things and that is, being born in the US, the U.S. Constitution is a right and that violent confrontations are different every time. I also hope that every single person that I am involved in with them obtaining their CCW has the "Mind Set" when that second that they are faced with and the very best actions is to not be in it at all. All that can be taught is a the general idea and safety, and it is up to the students to continue to improve on their skills.

Word it how ever you would like to make you feel better. I hate that it may makes you feel crazy or possibly the people that you are speaking for feel crazy, but I have never had any complaints with my simple verbiage. I teach a lot of people that do use their right that is granted to them by the State of North Carolina ,that they reside in to be a CCW holder. I am open to being a better instructor, and open to any and all criticism. If you did not want to hear my thoughts, you did not have to read it, especially if it makes you upset or worse, crazy. I am not aware that you have ever been in a class that I have taught, or possibly been involved in any drills or live fire shooting that I would or may have ran.

I hope that your instructions or life's experiences go well in your helping of others in the safety, need or use of firearms. You as well as I, know that there are many that have no idea of reality, and what may be involved in it by being a CCW permit holder. Unfortunately the world has a large percentage of people that live in that world. But we all see how the world is changing everyday. That being said, I do not want to see a single person be involved in a violent confrontation. I try my best to give folks an idea of reality, how dangerous of handling a weapon can be and the safety that has to be taken in doing that. I am a simple man that uses simple terms to get my point across. I guess you understood my points and examples that I stated or you would not have commented. You just did not like the way I said it.

Thanks for pointing it out to me and I hope to be a better instructor in helping the men and women that I take the effort in teaching. That is not, Yada, Yada, Yada or BS, just my thoughts.

Thanks for your input and I wish you well.

Tom
