Went out this morning and came back with this! Quite astonishing - LOL!

...Expecting to receive your CCP, that is :). Yes, folks. On 12/10 I took my Conceal Carry class with DES Training (www.safeshooting.com). BTW, awesome experience and looking forward to attend more of their classes.

I passed the qualification with a 98, which means that two of my shots were outside the body rings of the target. In my defense, those happened at 10 feet; but I truly felt I was going to do much better, so I was a little disappointed with myself for not being able to show off more. :P

Any how, with the craziness of the holidays, work, personal life mischief, I didn't call the sheriff's department right away. Yes, in North Carolina you have to call to make an appointment for your CCP application, otherwise they can't warranty that they'll be able to give you the time of the day when you decide to show up. When I finally called, with certificate and DL in hand, the lady never thought of asking if there were any particulars to my situation. Well, for those who don't know, I am a Naturalized Citizen. And since I already had to present proof of citizenship when I acquire my purchase permits, it never occurred to me that they would need to see it again (I got them 4 months ago). That was MY mistake. I ASSUMED.
