Why don't you have your CHL?!

[boredelmo]

Just wondering everyone's reason for not having their CHL. You can choose more than one.

If you pick "Other", specify.

Edit:

Dangit, I didn't think of the open carry option.

 

[yesit'sloaded]

Not yet 21.

I can and sometimes do open carry.

 

[Silvanus]

My country does not trust it's citizens

 

[DogBonz]

why not?

I live in the PRNJ... Nuff said.

 

[mbt2001]

This sounds a little off the wall... Anyway, I have never been arrested and think it is crazy that in order to carry concealed, I have to go and basically get booked into the system... Most likely I am going to do it anyway, but that is why I haven't yet.

Too young, :banghead:, but I'll be ready by my birthday!

My state doesn't issue, but I go armed within the limits of the law.

 

[inherentical]

My state doesn't issue CC permits, but I carry nearly all the time - legally, too.

 

[bill larry]

I let mine lapse and did not renew it.

I'm a working musician and 90% percent of the places I gig in I cannot carry in due to Texas' 51% law.

I do however keep a loaded pistol in the console of my truck which accompanies me from the house to the car and vice versa, along with a rifle in the truck. I feel acceptably armed.

-> My state, sorry, country and all other neighbouring countries do not trust their citizens.
-> I'm not old enough! : ( (not that age will ever make a difference, though)

 

[iamkris]

I'm in Illinois...so I'm Ill-annoyed

I do have my UT and PA permits, though, so when I'm not in my home state, I can carry across most of the rest of the country.

 

[Noxx]

Los Angeles county, nuff said.

 

[GTSteve03]

I can legally carry a pistol in the glove box of my car without a permit, so I do that for now.

I'm still not 100% for having to ask permission from my state to carry in self defense, so that's another reason I haven't gotten one yet.

That and GA has ridiculous restrictions on CCWs.

 

[Mannix]

My state doesn't trust enfranchised citizens under 21, though I still pay the same taxes, am held to the same legal standard as everyone else, and can vote like everyone else.

But I can't be trusted to drink responsibly or have the means to defend myself in public.

Go figure.

 

[MechAg94]

I answered based on what people I know have said or done.

 

[HKUSP45C]

Mine hasn't come in the mail yet.

 

[BridgeWalker]

The deal is my husband gets to get his first, and he's having trouble finding the time.

Same here. I don't like the idea of getting booked to be able to let the state ratify a right guaranteed by the consitution.

So, I open carry.

 

[ozwyn]

in this state? not a chance.

 

[Animal Mother]

That and GA has ridiculous restrictions on CCWs.

I'm currently waiting on my CCW, I know GA has restrictions for CCW at public gatherings and establishments that serve alcohol for consumption, but I'm curious about what other ridiculous restrictions were in place?

 

[The Viking]

My country doesn't trust its citizens, except for a few of the Special People (TM). None for the hoi polloi though .

 

[Ala Dan]

A Bit Of Different Twist Alabama Style

I got mine~!

 

[CountGlockula]

My state does not trust its citizens.

 

[Jack A. Sol]

You forgot the option "I do not need a liscence to carry because it is MY RIGHT"

 

[seeker_two]

Due to my work (mental health care), I can't carry at work or in the car. Off duty, I have one in the car legally.

Also, I held back hoping the CHL cost ($140 for 4 years + cost of CHL course) would go down. Didn't happen (Rick Perry needs the money... ). Plan to take my CHL course next month & apply soon after....

Besides, just because I don't have a gun doesn't mean I'm unarmed OR defenseless...
