Where to sign up for the concealed carry class...?

[Ricky]

I know you can take the class through Gander Mountian for $100 but i was wondering if anywhere else is offering the class for a better price or it is $100 everywhere?

[96-eclipse-gst]

I've been looking online as well I found it for $40 just can't remember where...

[Ricky]

when you find out let me know and i will take the class with you.

[96-eclipse-gst]

will do, you already have a handgun or what? I've been starting to look and see what I'd like to get.

[Ricky]

haven't bought one yet. I have looked around and kind of have an idea. Looking at getting a .45 with a short barrel.

[TbTalon94]

Lemme know too as i'm interested in taking it, as well as a few others I know. Would be nice to have that piece of mind.

[biohazard]

When I still 'lived' in Benton County, I just went to the sherrif's office and signed up for the class there. I think it was only $35 or something.

[Ricky]

Im defiantly getting one. I might run down to the sherrif's office and ask to sign up.

[96-eclipse-gst]

From what I've gathered, you just sign up. They pretty much can't deny you....pretty much...

[Ricky]

You can have a felony record that is it. They have to give it to you if you have a clean record.

[Krumm]

i need to do this

The class at Gander Mountain is through Utah Legal Heat, I took mine through them in Ankeny and it was $75. Gander Mtn is tacking on an extra fee which is BS.

[CiviC_boY]

I took the class at legal heat it was $100 and i already got my permit in the mail.... when i went to pay for my permit the guy said thats proly the best class to take around here and i liked it... let me if any of you guys have any questions but classes or guns...

Fierce training down south of IC offers classes, and Utah class, I got my Utah permit thru him. Wolf Creek IDPA near Traer has a website and offer classes one of them is dong NRA pistol class monthly in Marshalltown I believe. I'm pretty sure a NRA handgun class qualifies and is often in the $25 range. I only recommend NRA class if either you don't really plan on carrying or you already took a class to know the basic laws. BIL & sister took a class in Ottumwa area cost $20 or 25 each.

Generally thru the sherifs office is the cheapest route if they still offer one.

Kent, I got one I'll make a good deal for you, compact 9mm, 1 12 rnd mag, 4 17's and a 2 holsters, just broken in with about 4000 rnds thru it.

that sounds about right, hang on to it until spring and ill take it lol. I wouldn't even have to beg amanda for it, shes wanted one since she shot yours last thanksgiving.

[SaNdMaNsSi]

If anyone is taking the one at Gander, I'll sign up too...I've been procrastinating for awhile. My Kimber gets lonely during the day, it wants to go to work with me.

[96-eclipse-gst]

Yea I don't care to drive all over the place just to find a little bit cheaper of a class. I'll have to see if the sheriffs office still offers a class, if not, on my way to gander mountain I go.

While we are on the subject. Who plans on carrying what. I've been looking around, I've decided I'll prolly have atleast two guns for different occasions. A full size, which I haven't really started looking at my options, but I was looking around just a little bit for smaller more concealable option and I have found a Bersa Thunder .380 or Glock G23. I spoke with my brother in law and he suggested Springfield Armory XD and the Smith & Wesson M&P line. Thoughts suggestions. I've just thought about concealability since i'm a skinny guy but my brother in law is a tall skinny guy and he says he has no problems concealing his full size.

[CiviC_boY]

^^^ I plan on carrying my taurus .45 for now but I want to buy a kimber or some sort of 1911 .40

[z28z34man]

I want a 357 mag but i doubt i will ever carry. i have heard great thins about that round it has the rite combination of mussel velocity and bullet mass to make an excellent self defense round and it is a revolver so you don't have to worry about the spring in the clip waring out

my dad just got a touras judge i wanted one of those until i read that there very inaccurate
when shooting a 45 the chamber is too long letting the bullet tip and the rifling in the barrel speeds the 410 shot shell too much

[Ricky]

Springfield Armory XD or Springfield Armory XDm in a .40 cal or .45 cal

[biohazard]

I carry a Walther P22 and a Beretta Cougar 8040. I don't usually carry the Beretta on me, it usually is in a glovebox or elsewhere in my car.

Robby with the blue x runner, my fiancé and I all took it at gander threw legal heat. It was pretty quick and simple I thought. I have a SR9C and a Ruger LCP .380 for carrying. I like the LCP simply because you can throw it between the waist band and you can’t even feel that it’s there. My Fiance' has the TCP .380 with a Crimps and trace lazor that i think is prety sweet!

[Ricky]

sounds good! Looks like i will make my way to gander mountain this week!

I have a pair of Kimber Carry Ultra II's, I'm 6'3 200 and have no problem hiding them. I just sold off my Bersa .380 a few months ago, but that too was a great gun. For how cheap it was, it never jammed and was an easy shooter. I just feel more comfortable with bigger name brands, though, I guess. I also have a police issue Glock 9mm, but I still prefer my Kimbers.

those only for 10 20 ft distance and w proper shot won't go through wall too much if ya miss w the .410. My dad has one, he put buckshot in it I don't know exactly why, would think 4 or 2 shot be better, pepper a guys face ala Cheney he isn't going anywhere.
