I am allowed to possess an unrestricted number of small arms (rifles, shotguns and handguns). I am not allowed to carry them on my person, nor am I allowed to carry them in my vehicle, unless I am on my way to or from a range. Also, they must be unloaded while in my vehicle.
What is your CCW Status?

First got my CCW in Florida. Moved to TN, where I now have a resident "handgun carry permit" and now a non-resident CCW in Fl.

No CCW permit, not allowed to carry in my state. But, boy do I wish that I could. I spens almost all my time in either Wisconsin or Iowa so I do not see much point in getting an out of state permit from those states that do allow it.

I answered I have a CCW permit in my state but thanks to GWB and H.R. 218 or Public Law 108-277, as a retired LEO, I am now allowed legally, to carry in ANY state that I so desire.

Ohio just became a CCW state in April. I received my CCW in June. This law has several items that still need fixing, but it is better than nothing.

Question for LEO and retired LEO - has H.R. 218 made much difference for your ability to carry where you live or where you travel?
JimC

I don't travel out of state that much but it's nice to know that when I go over the border to PA from NJ, I can now carry.

I can't vote in that poll because there is no selection for the situation in my state. California is "may issue", which means that a petty tyrant can decided whether or not to issue one to you. Some of the counties here are pretty much "shall issue" because the sheriff (the "authority" from whom you have to ask permission) actually believes the 2nd amendment means what it says. In other counties, such as the one in which I reside, the sherriff most doesn't issue CCW's unless you are one of his cronies. So I'm pretty much out of luck.

I do not recognize laws requiring a person to obtain a CCW "permit" before being "allowed" to carry. I am of the belief a free citizen must never ask the government for permission to practice an inalienable right. So if I want to carry a concealed weapon, I simply carry a concealed weapon. That's my CCW status...

I think we've all been guilty of that at least once...
I have my NC permission slip. Keep on meaning to get my FL permit, but money's been getting tied up in other things. If not for SC and VA I probably would have just got my non-res FL permission slip and not bothered with NC.

I agree, but right now we're fighting the incrementalism that got us in a hole with gun laws. It's going to take incrementalism to get us out. Alaska passed CCW, then, went "Vermont" style, so has Montans IIRC. First we get shall issue CCW passed, then after a couple of years of no massacres and no fender benders turning into fire-fights, we go back and loosen up the CCW laws until everybody is "Vermont" .
My 2 cents, YMMV.

Just got mine a few days ago. I really have no intention of ever carrying but I wanted it so I could buy a gun without waiting 5 days to pick it up.

CCW STATS
I don't have, because in my state I don't need one, as LEO. But as for travel, JimC, yes it did certainly affect me. My son-in-law, (not LEO) has an Indiana CCW, so Michigan recognizes it and he can carry in Michigan.
As LEO without CCW in INdiana, I was not recognized in Michigan and COULDN'T carry. (??)
Now, thanks to 218, I went to Michigan and carried. (I do hope there's not an Oct 1 effective date????)
My partner, originally from Chicago, and I are going to check on this effective date, make a copy of 218 and walk right down Randolph street in Chi town, proud as punch!
Anybody got any links on stats for the effective date? Was it effective immediately, or more waiting?

New York State Resident (not valid in the realm of Snake Pliskin and the lads) permit. I also have PA and NH non-res. Will be applying for a Florida soon. I find it ironic that I have more rights in states that I am not a resident of than in my own!

Resident Washington permit.
I have a non-resident Florida permit application lying around here, but haven't gotten off my butt to get fingerprinted for it.

Bullmalarky!
Upon reading this thread it has become crystline clear to me that 90% of "Freedom Loving Americans" are either ignorant of the absolute truth of this issue (as well as NUMEROUS others). The fact is this: NONE OF US is required to do anything to legally carry ANY means of self defense other than to OWN that means and CARRY that means...PERIOD.
Apparently it is a long forgotten fact that ANY law which contradicts the U.S. Consitution/Bill of Rights is to be treated AS THOUGH IT DID NOT EXIST...PERIOD. So ANY law which restricts one's means of self defense, whether it be pepper spray, a knife, escrima sticks or a firearm (OF ANY TYPE), is an ILLEGAL law, which is, therefore UNENFORCEABLE!!
My apologies to you LEOs, but the truth hurts, so I apologize for the severe pain this must have caused. It IS the truth...PERIOD. Look it up if you don't believe me.
Very Sincerely,
Simon.

Ok, Simon, what is crystaline clear(is it crystaline meth?) in a pure world, in a pure society, you do have a valid point, but the truth is, in the real world, there are hundreds throughout the country doing three to five or more, screaming every minute, "It ain't illegal!! It ain't enforceable!! I ain't really here!!! It all depends on which world you choose to live in. The real one, or the beautiful perfect one where birds sing and flowers bloom, and the sun always shines. But then, in that world, you don't really NEED a gun do you?

According to the "License Tool" at packing.org, that covers me for carry in 29 states.
"Simon76" & "Molon Labe": I used to be an idealist too. Good luck in court.

Man that just flat out pisses me off. Not at the people who qualify under HR218, mind you. Just at the governement division of classes. I guess I'm still an idealist at heart.

H.R. 218 or now Public Law 108-277 became effective immediately upon GWB's signature on I believe 22July2004.
Simon, in a perfect society, you may have a point. In the real world, which we live in like it or not, your attitude and intended actions will only get your butt locked up.
In a time like this when so many people are trying to get CCW passed for all, people like you only make it harder. Law makers don't want to hear your poistion, it worries them as does it me.

Starpower: What I posted isn't "my idea" of a "perfect world", it is FACT. And I'm GLAD you said what you did..."Good luck in court." THERE'S the problem, and WE THE PEOPLE are SUPPOSED TO REMOVE THOSE IDIOTS AND SOCIALISTS/ACTIVISTS FROM THE BENCH (or any other office)!! YES, BY FORCE IF NECCESSARY!!
GET MY POINT? (Not bloody likely.).
Simon.
P.S. - Which of the Founding Fathers, do you think, would disagree with me? (Some brief research on this should illustrate the difference between the way it WAS and was MEANT TO BE, and the way it has become.).

So many gun owners are fond of saying "From my cold dead hands." They claim they have a natural/inalienable right to keep and bear arms, and that the government is a servant to the people, not the other way around. But their actions reveal their true beliefs. Claiming to believe in inalienable rights and getting a CCW permit is like claiming to be a vegetarian and eating a juicy steak. Or claiming to be a Catholic and getting an abortion.
