Going to take the Extended Carry Permit class soon. $100 for an 8 hr class. Classroom, range time. Cant wait. It will extend the range of the places I can carry here in my state, like bars, churches, malls, courtrooms that are not in session. Every little bit helps I guess. Probably going to take my Sig P-238 and my S&W bodyguard 380 to class.
Interesting. What state do you live in? I have never heard of an Extended Carry Permit. In VA the only places you can't carry are places they aren't going to ever allow you to carry unless you are an LEO as far as I can tell (like a courthouse).
Im in Mississippi. We are not suppose to carry in malls, but I do. Im not going to let my family and me be easy targets to any scum bag while we go back and forth from the parking lot to the inside. Not going to happen, so I carry.We cannot carry in bars/nightclubs, courtrooms, schools/college campus, etc. This extended permit will allow us to carry almost anywhere except a courtroom in session.
Guys, when it comes right down to it, its just a money making thing. It always is. So I have to pay $100 so I will be aloud to carry in the places I should have freedom and access to carry anyway under the 2nd Amendment. Come on. But, Im going to a be gullable idiot and do it anyway. Makes me sick.
Ah, I see. Interesting. In VA you can't carry in schools, churches, or courthouses. You can carry in bars or restaurants so long as you don't drink.
Cool, Like I said, its all about money, and also control. Its rediculous, all of it. Restriciting this and that, allowing this, but not that.
Its not being a gullable idiot, IMO, it just shows that instead of carrying where you want, you are still being responsible and doing what you need to do to carry legally. Yes it sucks paying the extra cash to do so, but it shows that gun owners still abide by the law and were not all western cowboy gunslinging fanatics that do what we want. So good on you I say.
Madison, 10 miles up the road from Jackson, which is in the top 10 most dangerous cities. J-Town finally made it. I work and shop in Jackson and surrounding cities, therefore I carry.
