As of this moment, I see that 19 people responded to the poll saying they have no carry permit. If any of those 19 are interested in getting their permit, they should know that it takes time - like close to three months after you take the class and get the paperwork turned in to the state. You can figure on about $75 for the class if you provide your own pistol and ammo. A guy who teaches the class at Sportsman's Supply on Hixson Pike will rent you a nice Ruger .22 and ammo for about eight dollars. It's much easier in Georgia. No classes, my wife took care of the paperwork and background check in a couple of hours one afternoon and 45 days later she had her permit. Total cost was under $50.

TN used to be better. they had 60 days to either give you the permit, or notify of why you havent gotten it. not sure what changed.... but I've had mine for a good 8 years.

Just and FYI for anybody who has never fired a pistol or rifle.
you are more than welcome to come to the range with me. Dallas Has a very nice Remington 22 rifle (and its pink cammo too!).
I will be more than happy to supply the hearing protection, eye protection, 22 rifle and ammunition. to get you to come out to the range. you dont have to shoot unless you want to!

This has been a very informative, sensible, on-topic thread and I appreciate that. Some of the threads in the other topics have just about put me off the Forum for good. I might still never want to own a firearm, but at least I've been able to be a part of a helpful, adult conversation with regards to such.

when the next shooting event is decided, anyone wanting to shoot my Glock 27 .40 S&W is more than welcome to buy a box and give it a try. i still have not found any work yet, so i wont be able to give free shots. i dont mind providing something to shoot, just grab a box of .40 cal smith and wesson ammo and your more than welcome to give it a whirl. no reloaded ammo though. that is bad for glocks.

i just go by what they say. it also has to do with factory barrels too i believe. the feed lip on the factory barrels is shit, and the lone wolf and others corrected that problem with the .40 round.

Speaking for the majority of people that took the poll that don't own a handgun--YOU PEOPLE ARE A BUNHCHA PARANOID NUTJOBS!!Are you always looking over your shoulder---do you have more moments of roadrage because your"carrying"?Do you hear more "noises" at night than most of us do?If you're going to the Delano Music Festival and Drug emporium are you "locked and loaded"?If your walking,say,from Big River to Provident parking lot on a Friday night do you feel having your weapon is a must? That's just too much whackiness for me.....but y'all have fun. Too ugly to f*ck and too poor to rob. You need no firearm. I just woke up and felt like saying this to vansintomen.
