Hi All:
I found your site from a link on Patriotslist. Looks like a lotta great folks and some great topics, discussions and comments. I'm glad to be here and hope to learn a lot. I'm relatively new to the gun world so I'll definately have more questions than answers. I do have my CCW.

Waiting in the Twin Cities
Applied for Utah's permit from Minnesota. It's cheaper, and honored by my home state. Now I wish I had just gone down to my County courthouse and applied there. Utah cashed my check 11/7, and I'm still waiting for my permit and a variety of holsters for my Glock 19. I won't carry with one in the chamber. Not yet anyway.
My wife and I took a course and applied together. I have devoured Massad Ayoob's "The Gun Digest Book of: Concealed Carry", and suggest it to everyone. I bought,"Personal Defense for Women", by Gila Hayes for my wife, and I ended up reading it cover to cover too. I found the section on shotguns particularly informative. Now I'm drooling for the Remington 870 Express 18" with extension tube and folding stock in 20 ga. so my girls can handle it.
I had never been much of a gun nut growing up, but plunked at targets with an pellet gun, sling shot, or my friends rifles when his dad brought us up North. (That's what we City folk call the places we go on the weekends in the summer where we can find a lake and some fishing poles.:yes4: Honest to god heaven on earth.) This sudden interest in being armed has little to do with any politician's gun policies, but has more to do with my wife opening a restaurant. I want her to be able to defend herself and our 13 year old daughter if I should ever check out first. And then there is this sudden interest in older boys by my daughter...:angry:

Welcome all, a ton and more of useful information on these forums.
Roaster Turkey, Utah cashed my Visa on Dec 2nd, from reading the postings, it is estimated that it takes 60 days or so to get your permit from Utah. I hope to get mine about Feb 4th, 57 days from now.
I can't wait until I can start carring. Let me know when you get yours and how many days it took.
Good luck. Jerry / Vyrone, same.

Ref to latest Virginia shooter in their 'Gun Free Zone':
If guns were the problem, and the citizens 'right to carry', were the problem, why isn't Vermont awash in this kind of trouble? given the laws in Vermont, and using the totalitarian leftist driven logic about guns, so prevalent in the Media, Vermont would be a bloodbath.. Noticeably, It isn't.
NM had increasing Massacres and Restaurant Invasions, years ago. The Las Cruces bowling Alley Massacre was never solved. NM changed the State law to Certified Citizen CCW (even Gov Richardson is CCW)... End of Massacres, end of Invasions. The risk became too great...of instant retaliation from armed and trained Citizens not easily identifiable..No uniforms.
Luby's Massacre in Texas was a wake up call for Texas. Certified CCW was the answer. Anyone see the latest Mumbai? Certified CCW is now allowed, rather than the 'stick weilding', Dystopian "Gun Free Zone' it was before it's famous Massacre. I fully understand why you have not been informed by 'The Media'. It does not fit Their Agenda of Control. One other note: Ft Hood became a 'Gun Free Zone' in about 1993...

Restaurant sign
Thank you for the new Interest in Freedom, Welcome to the organization. A sign on your restaurant entrance, "Welcome Certified CCW Patrons". Only the knowledgeable will understand. Both those few with 'intent', and better yet, those ever more present 'Sheepdogs' lingering among the Sheep.

Thanks for the welcome, everybody. Sure, Jerry. I'll let you know when the permits arrive.
Thanks for the tip, Blogengeezer. It's funny you should suggest a sign in my wife's new restaurant. There's a Twin Cities carry forum I found, and a there's a thread on there about businesses that have a sign posted, (often not in accordance with a "legal" posting method), banning guns from the premises. I mentioned to my wife that we could go in the opposite direction and advertise a discount to permit holders in addition to the men in uniform that already qualify. (Police, Fire, Military.) Her knee-jerk reaction with a look of horror and disgust on her face was, "I don't want of bunch of people with guns in the store all the time!"
(Sigh.) She just doesn't get it.
For now, I'll just slap up the NRA sticker they sent me with my new membership.
I have a lot of work ahead of me.
She hasn't touched the books I bought her, and we've only been to the range once since we took the instruction course. The restaurant takes up all her time. So when the Thunder Ranch Ad for a woman's video came to my in box yesterday, I jumped on it. My wife does more TV watching than reading.
I've also found a digital subscription to American Handgunner to be a fun read for the likes of us. Check it out at FMG Publications
Be aware. Be safe.
