Just at 62 days all done. They told me in Arkansas for certain 120+ days due to the exodus from all the CCW classes. But right at half that time I'll be content.
I think next time I do this, it's going to be either a straight carry per the Consitution or not at all because of the time, expense and learning and vetting.
I think Ive been checked over by everyone from Federal all the way down to my Chief several times over this year, more than I ever did with high value loads and military depot runs in trucking.
The fees? Eh.. let's see.. A gift to 145 dollars to State Police, 20 for Fed, 20 for state, 85 for class, 25 for ammo for that class, 650-1000 for handgun plus the stuff required to "Run it", maintain it and feed it. (Oughta shouldve gotten me a big dog instead...)
Is it worth it? Eh. I think so when (Not if) that day comes I need it downtown.
