Concealed carry online????

[smalls]

Look up the gun free school zones act. You can only carry in a school zone if you are licensed by your state. If I had got my carry license online I wouldn't be able to drive down my street armed. You probably don't realize how many school zones there really are.

You don't take the online class, then print out your permit. You still have to turn the required paperwork into the state.

This is no different than any other carry class, except the classroom portion is at your home computer. You must still attend the live fire exercise for states that require it.

Maybe I misunderstood the original question. I thought we were discussing state required training for that states permit... not reciprocity of other states permits and the right afforded or not afforded.

In MN I can take the MN required classroom training online then meet the instructor for the shooting qualification. Once complete, I can apply for a MN permit. If my MN training instructor is also an NRA instructor, it is possible that my MN training will also be acceptable in another state, allowing me to apply for that states permit. It all depends on a states specific training requirements, if they have any.

Like smalls ^^^^ says, you don't generate the carry permit online after taking the online training.

Yes, but in order to be exempt for the 1000 ft school zone prohibition contained in Federal law [18 USC 922(q)(2)], the permit must be issued by the same state the school zone is located in. If I want to legally carry a loaded gun within 1000' of a school on public property in VA, than I need a VA permit to be exempt from the Federal law. If I want to do the same in Montana, then I need a Montana permit to be exempt from the Federal law.

The OP is from Florida. He is inquiring about getting an out of state Virginia carry license. Yes Virginia will mail you a license and you never have to step foot in the state. I looked into the same thing so I understand what he is asking. That is also why I mentioned the school zone thing. It was eventually what made me decide to not do it.

So, I take it you have completed the requirements and become an NRA Certified (not licensed) Instructor?

Many of us believe that training should not be mandatory for exercising a constitutional right. Given that, why would we insist that where such a requirement does exist that an on-line course is insufficient?

I'm a firm believer in training, but I can also read. There's no training/licensure/certification requirement in "...shall not be infringed."

What does the fact that he may or may not be a former CIA officer have to do with anything?

CIA is tasked to carry out all their work off shore. Which gives him no special knowledge of state or internal US law.

Ask him if you can pay with your secret Nigerian bank acct.
