How the heck did you get a CCW?
We finally have a county sheriff that upholds and believes in the 2nd Amendment. It was one of his campaign promises back during the economic downturn, when the department was forced to make deep cuts to the force. He said people are going to need to be more self-sufficient about personal protection and that part of the solution would be to loosen up the CCW restrictions. The city and county councils went ape-shit, but he told them to stuff it. Since then, we've become nearly a "Shall Issue" county. It's taking about 4 - 6 weeks for all of the paperwork to clear, but the approval rate is something in the mid-90's. You basically have to be a dumb-ass thug or complete knucklehead to not be able to pass the exams, interviews and training. Which, of course, is the idea.
I don't plan on carrying all that much, anyways. Never felt the need, but it's nice to finally have that option.
