a pistol to keep in your home. Or a permit to get a concealed weapons permit. Im sitting here at home bored because of the heavy rain waiting for my 2 p.m. appointment to get my concealed weapons permit and it gave me this idea to ask. Dont want to start if its right or wrong to have a gun thread. Just purely wondering what the laws are in your neck of the woods.
I used to have a concealed weapons permit in Florida about 5 years ago and stupidly I let it expire without paying the renewal fee. So today I have to go through a 3 hour safety course. Take a multiple choice test. Go to the range and fire the gun safely. Then take my picture, have my finger prints done, pay $117.00 dollars to the government to check me out and in a few weeks I have a concealed permit.
Now here in Florida you dont have to have a permit to keep a gun in your home or car. You just have to pass a background check to make sure your not a criminal. Its just when you want to carry it on your person concealed off your property that you need a permit.
