| Ok, this may sound stupid, as I have a WA concealed carry license, but my wife wants to get a license, too. I don't remember having to show proof of any weapon safety or handling classes when I applied for mine, but then again I'm in the Army and thats pretty much proof that I just might know what I'm doing with a gun. When we apply for hers does she need to have taken any classes, and if so where's a good place to get her schooled up to standard? |

City/county building (I think), 65 dollars (I think the real reason for the licensing originally), some prints, and some time. Pay the extra buck and get it laminated. Tis reminds me. If a pistol or rifle is registered on post, and it were locked in the trunk, and the person was just going to the gym or PX (assume the driver lives in off post housing, or is say a Guardsman), would that be allowable? |
Depends on the idiot at the gate, but if its Secured in an inaccesable area of the trunk, with the ammo secured in a seperate area, you're good. I just carry it on my body, because they only search your vehicle, not your body when they pull "Random(my ass)" searches, but then again, thats illegal, too. Best bet is in the trunk, locked up, away from ammo. |

Then don't follow them. Like I said, locked in the trunk, seperate from the ammo is the legal right answer. I happen to live on post, I'm not going to stop before I come on base to put my weapon in the trunk, nor stop after I leave base to get it out. I know what Army regs say, I enforce them. I also know the penalties for breaking them, and I am prepared to take the punishment if it ever comes my way. I'm not the only one to do this, either. Some very high ranking members of my Brigade do the same thing, its amazing what you can learn at leaders call after the beer starts to flow! Like most things in the military, do whatever your rank can afford. |
