sometimes you need to just bring in a copy of the iowa code and let them take a look. usually a kind tone and showing what it says and asking if you're right about your understanding will allow them no means to buffalo you.
if this continues to be a problem, then IM me and i can provide you some extra help. being polite and using courteousy is your best bet. |

You may also place a call to the weapons permit section at DPS and discuss it with them. They have always been helpful with me on these issues in the past. Their number is 515-725-6230. You are correct that you DO NOT need to qualify on the range, or even touch a gun during the training for that matter.

The Sheriff here in Muscatine is very cool. He was issuing long before the Law was changed to shall issue,very cooperative man,but I think you will find they stick to their "guns" on this requirement. Just get him a target....it is worth it and probably easier than arguing about it. I know you are right,but as I said,this guy was issuing way before they were "forced" to issue by the new law.

It is really too bad this doesn't have DPS logos on it. http://www.dps.state.ia.us/asd/SF2379_FAQ.pdf
Middle of page 3 QUESTION: Is range qualification a part of the mandatory training requirements for a new Iowa professional or nonprofessional permit to carry weapons? ANSWER: No. Range qualification may be part of a training program identified above; however, range qualification is not a mandatory element of training for initial issuance of a permit. |

Oh, and in before septic yells at you For clarification, it isn't the sheriff that is denying his application. As stated, the sheriff has been cool about issuing permits for years. It is a member of his staff. That person needs to be educated. Probably just asking this person to call the sheriff would clear it up. |

The fact that he's a nice guy or he was issuing before the law "forced" him to has nothing to do with it. I don't want to be an dick about it but a lot of us worked our asses off for many years to finally get one of the best and strongest shall issue laws in the entire nation passed and we WILL protect it no matter how minor the infringement seems to be because history shows this is exactly how we lost our rights in the first place, one tiny little step at a time. If we don't nip it in the bud then someone else takes another tiny step and another and another........... |

Jesus Christ,didn't mean to fire up the Minutemen. Should have known that my innocent advice would cause a "firestorm" of controversy! Now,let us all descend on probably one of the few Sheriff Departments in the State that issued long before the Law that you guys all by yourselves fought so hard for. Excuse the fuck right out of me for offering some advice/an opinion. I did not realize the sacrifices you made for me since I have had a CCW from a very reasonable Sheriff for over 10 yrs. Christ.

No one is jumping down anyone's throat. It is just a fact of law that a target is not required and the law must be adhered to or we will lose ground on the law itself. For years our feet have been held to the fire in this state. We are regaining lost ground and we cannot allow any variances from the mission at hand.

I agree. If one of us civilians doesn't follow the law guess what happens to us? Doesn't matter if the sheriff is nice guy or not he still needs to know the law and abide by it.

Excuse the fuck right out of .me for offering some advice/an opinion. I did not realize the sacrifices you made for me since I have had a CCW from a very reasonable Sheriff for over 10 yrs. Christ. I'm tickled the sheriff had a decent stance during "shall issue" of PTCs... Good deal. There are some troubling points in this thread though. Firstly, the sheriff of the county is the responsible for issuance whether his staff does the work or he does. So if the staff screws up, he screws up. Period. He's the boss and the buck stops with him. This notion that " you better do what he says " even though we all know it is wrong shouldn't wash with anyone including LE... The rules are in place for us all to follow, so follow them. Besides, we're 11 months into this so the excuse that somebody didn't understand the law correctly is pretty darn thin... I'm proud as punch at the "minutemen" that responded to the thread. We as free born men have lost rights granted us by God and insured us by our constitution over many years and incremental rollbacks will no longer be tolerated. For those that don't like it, you can go pound sand.... |

Yes some counties are charging extra for the haed card. Clinton County charges $50 for the paper permit and n extra $10 for the hard card. When I f=got mine I told them that it was robbery that they were charging extra. The didn't like that much.

But as we all should understand, as long as they give the option of a DPS-standard paper permit at the cost listed in the law, they can offer plastic at whatever price they want –– after all, it's optional.
Hopefully we can get a standardized hard card put in the law in the not too distant future. Quoted:

I believe the Muscatine Sheriff has been corrected, but for others ...
I have had calls and correspondence today, first from instructors in Iowa, and now two from Wisconsin, stating that one or more Sheriffs are demanding proof that if you are an NRA instructor, then the class you do for the permit to carry applicant MUST include a range exercise because the NRA requires it. Apparently, this is in response to the NRA memo of 11-7 regarding on line courses where the NRA outlined certain requirements they expect their instructors to follow, including in-person classes (no on-line) and a range exercise. The Sheriffs were either misunderstanding the memo, or using it as an excuse to require a range exercise even if the course were not an official NRA class. So, I contacted the NRA instructor training department for clarification. Here is the response: –– Paul, If you are referring to the memo sent out November 7, 2011 The NRA Training department does not want its name associated with any on-line training due to our methodology of hands on face to face, objective based training. If an NRA Certified Instructor conducts a course that is NOT NRA approved, they can still list their credentials and ID # as long as they have the appropriate disclaimer posted. The NON NRA course does not have to contain a shooting portion if that is not what the instructor is teaching. The NRA Training department does not dictate to instructors what they can and can not teach when conducting NON NRA courses, but we do have Policies concerning the use of the NRA name and trade mark. I hope I have answered your question if I understood it correctly. NRA Mark M Richardson National Rifle Association Instructor Program Coordinator |

On page 71 of the current issue of American Handgunner is a very good write up of how we as pro gunners should start approaching "common sense" gun laws. You can read it online here. The aspect of using laws and the need for new gun legislation to counter the anti-gunners is an incredible shift in thinking.
