Concealed Gun Class

Taking my concealed gun class this Saturday and was wanting to get the forums feedback. I have been meaning to do this for a while and thought it was a worth while class to take. I might even go out and buy a Military SW .45 that I use to carry for old time sakes. I don't have the lifestyle where carrying a gun is needed it would be more for when someones else's lifestyle falls on me.

Sounds like a great idea. I have always wanted to do it, but have not been able to get around to it.

I highly recommend taking the class and getting an Oklahoma concealed carry permit. Class is easy, and once you get the permit you never have to take the class or requalify again - just send in renewal $$ every four years. I also recommend taking the class and qualifying with a semi-auto pistol - then you're qualified to carry a revolver or derringer under your concealed carry permit. If you take the class using a derringer, that's all you can carry concealed; if you take it using a revolver, you can carry only revolver or derringer. (At least that's the way the law used to read, if they haven't changed it.)

That is what bold moves can do as a club. We can all take the classes and carry weapons at the car shows. We would all WIN. lol

Just kidding. I have always wanted to do that was well but never have. What is the price and how long are the classes?

More info please :)

Here are the charges that I know of so far.

Gun class $60.00 (Norman, OK)

$25.00 Money order or Cashiers Check payable to McClain County Sheriff's Office. (Fingerprints)
$100.00 fee payable to Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations (O.S.B.I) in the form of Money Order or charge to your Credit or Debit Card.
Guessing $10.00 for passport type photos

Thanks for the info Kevin!! Much appreciated

I wonder if these are required in Afghanistan?

Check this clip out... crazy ass people in this world. http://www.vbs.tv/full_screen.php?s=DGFE2305DC&sc=1363196

CRAZY! Nice Shooting range though, "We Just Had Lunch Downstairs."

It's good to be an American...

I have the 45, all the paperwork filled out, and just haven't done the class yet. Go for it!

You think they would allow me to take a desert eagle .50 cal?

Might have a little trouble concealing it, especially if you have the 10" barrel....

What is concidered OK? Any pistol? Is it "whatever you take to class is the only thing you can carry"? Or you can have any pistol as long as it is your name and you have a licence. If you can only carry what you have been certified in, do you have to take the class again if you change guns or just register the gun with them?

You can carry any pistol. It's been about 6 months since I reead the literature, but I think there is some verbage about revolvers and automatics. For sure, if you take the class with an automatic, you can carry a revolver. The other way around.... I would have to read up on it again....

What kind of automatics are we talking about. You cant carry an m-16 or an m-4 in your pants if you know what i mean and I i still believe the OOZY is banned.

"Is that a big gun in your pants, or are you just glad to see me?"

uphold your second amendment right folks!

Can you ride any rides at Six Flags or do you need me to go with you again this year?

Just think these are the guys wanting to carry a gun.

Thats a scary thought.

Well I finished the class and it is all common sense. It never hurts to reconfirm when deadly force is legal but for the most part it was what was expected. You guys would be shocked at the type of people that are obtaining these licenses. I felt really good about my decision after seeing my classmates. There was one guy I know will be in a road rage shooting any day now. He had a Dually truck with the word MOVE on his bumper in reverse lettering so you could see it in your mirror.

NECK

Yes there was a real Hee-Haw vibe going.

Nice! Pretty scary huh?

Hahaha.... I have had my cc license for the last 2 years. I carry a Springfield Armory XD .45 ACP. I think I will buy a newer version this year, maybe a .40 ... I would love to buy the DE .50 cal [Hand Cannon] and put the .44 barrel on it.... You can't carry [legally] anything larger than a .45 .

I took the class at Tulsa Firearms.... I was kinda pissed when I found out that I didn't have to take the class, since I qualified on the M9 last time I had went to the range.... Something about Military something or another....

Thats funny about the class mates being a bit scary looking. It was the same way when I took my class ten years ago. LOL I remember thinking to myself "seriously, these people are going to be carrying a gun?" I also remember the crazy stupid questions that these same people would ask during the law portion of the class. Then I remember when we qualified on the range and thinking to myself that some of the people couldn't even hit a target that was like 10 feet away with any sort of accuracy. It was crazy.

I had two guys in my class, that couldn't speak English that well... I hope they got alot out of it!
