ccw countdown

I was being sarcastic about feeling unsafe while being unarmed in the middle of a police station.

I see your point for the finger prints, in most cases. I don't think these prints are going to CBI, although I'm not sure. I have to submit prints with the application for this Texas resident license I'm getting. I've done the same thing for Wyoming, but apparently they don't share the data base and I have to do the prints again (hence the reason I assume they don't go through CBI).

Why are you getting these different state residence liscenes? Most of them do have reciprocity... Explain please Sir.

Mine is orginally from Texas, transfered to Wyoming during school, and now based in CO.

Texas has the most reciprocity. Colorado does not require a license to adjust claims.

When I worked auto claims, I did claim for Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Only Wyoming required a license, so that's what I had.


On a more on topic (to the thread) note, where do you guys carry your CCW card? I'd carry it in my wallet, but that would require putting my hands into my pockets to produce it, and I don't always have my wallet. I just went and bought a lanyard so I could wear it around my neck, under my shirt.

I figured you were being sarcastic. I wanted to make sure before I made an ass out of myself.

I assumed you were referring to CCW permits when we were talking. Print cards do go to CBI for CCW applications in Colorado, but you are obviously talking about something else. That is what I get for posting from my phone and being too lazy to read back a few pages!

[Irving]

Yeah, sorry everybody. I needed to get a finger print card and send it in for an application (not at all gun related) in another state. I still feel ripped off. $2 for the card and letting me print myself would have been fair.

If you think about it, it makes sense. If Joe Shit the Rag Man, a convicted felon, decides he wants employment as a (insert job here) which requires prints on file and lack of a criminal history, all he needs to do is roll off some prints fromwhoever, send them in on his $2 print card and he is G2G.

While you may be a law abiding responsible adult, not everyone is. This is designed to keep bad people out of positions they SHOULD NOT occupy, like LE, medical fields, insurance, etc.

Make sense?

Well, I guess the wheels are in motion on mine. I called yesterday and left a message, got a return call today, and have an appointment set up for next monday the 17th.

Denver city and county BTW

Oh I agree Cochese, and that would be easy enough to do if they'd just make you submit to CBI or whatever. The electronic prints I took for the CCW were way better and will forever be in that data base. Instead, I had to pay $20 to get the prints, then $44.20 to have some other company look at them, then send me a receipt in the mail. Then I have to send the receipt in with my application and $50 for the application. Seems like a process built into the system to waste my time and line wallets to me.

Also, it seems like it'd be easy enough to fake a finger print card, then fill it out with info and bad prints on your own. I suppose most people aren't willing to go quite that far to get a job.

I set off my first alarm off yesterday. I went into our post office carrying a package and CCW. The alarm went off and I froze in shock, as I just realized why it went off. The workers just looked at me and said, “It's OK. Come on in.” They thought it was the package that sent the alarm off. Now on my way out, without the package to blame, I was trying to think of what I was going to do. Because I knew it wasn't the package that caused the metal detectors to go off. So, I just tried to walk confidently and when the alarms went off I just kept walking. Yikes, the HP station is right next door. But I kept reminding myself of what my CCW instructor told us, “The Post Office is not a government building and you can CCW there.”

[Irving]

I've carried in the Post Office before without setting the alarm off, I think anyway. I've never had my gun set any alarms off.

28 days in Jeffco! I thought any building that has metal detectors or security specifically looking for weapons was illegal to carry? NOT that I am crying here I think prohibiting you to carry in any building is crap!
