Just applied for my CCL

[Blake Clark]

Just applied for my CCL here in Louisiana. Waiting for it to come in. Gave up all my commisions and didnt want to go without so I guess Ill have to play by there rules.

[davemac]

If you`re anything like me you`re gonna be one happy guy when that letter comes in.

[Fronty Owner]

congratulations.
depending on how many states honor LA, you might also want to consider a non-resident FL license.

[Blake Clark]

Reciprocity is pretty good actually....

Still waiting, was told it would take 4-6 weeks.....

Tick tock tick tock....... [laugh]

[Fronty Owner]

yea, your first time takes forever. But when I renewed, it didn't seem like it took very long to get the new license in.

You excited about your first wallywalk?

[annabelle]

Finger print checks have been backed up by about 2 weeks I was told (FBI approving Census workers) so it my be delayed for a few weeks. That's what it stated on the TX web site anyway.

[Blake Clark]

Well, yes and no...

Former LEO so I used to carry 24/7/365 for 5 years...

But it sure will be nice to get back in the habit.

I have a SID (state id) that shows my background and training record, that and being my record is windex squeeky clean, it should speed things up.

I have been printed recently for work done at The Federal Marshall's Service and various Federal courthouses........they told me it did not matter......the FBI still has to go through their procedure to approve you. I'm as clean as you can get also.

so it wont be your first wally walk...

you'll enjoy it again tho..

[Blake Clark]

It was even better as a Deputy here in LA

We could carry anywhere cept for correctional facilities and bars when we were drinking

Court, school, hospitals.... any where we wanted.

But yeah, need to get back in the habit.

Guess the ole G27 will be back on duty.

[annabelle]

I applied for mine about the 1st of May......I just got notice of a deficiency in mine and I sent back what they were asking for.......quicker than I expected ( I was figuring the end of June).....just letting you know the time line as of now.

[Blake Clark]

Good deal...

I went ahead and drove down to Baton Rouge and had them look over the application and they did the finger printing. Rog's got sent back for a couple of lil issues so I figured this would cut out some of the haggle.

[annabelle]

Good idea.......I sent in everything I was told to. However, they requested a bit more. No big deal.....just a small delay. My wife use to work in NWU in LA.....Pretty area.

[annabelle]

Well, they have yet to cash my check.......they wanted a copy of both sides of my drivers license.......maybe because I'm out of State. I applied for TX and I'm in NM. Wasn't in the instructions I was given for the package to send in.

[Blake Clark]

Its the fishbowl phenomenon.....

[annabelle]

Well, they cashed my check yesterday.......I hope that is a positive sign. On a negative note......I left my weapon holstered in a Crossbreed holster in the under seat storage of the CTD......was 107 that day, but the truck was never uncomfortable when I got in......bottom line, the plastic holding the weapon deformed due to heat.........now retention is too much for a nice smooth draw (as it was originally sent)......I'll contact Crossbreed and let you know of their response......they seem like stand up folks. Might be quicker and easier to fix it myself.

[annabelle]

Crossbreed Holsters are a stand-up group. They returned my call promptly, told me to send in the holster and they would repair the holster.......no questions asked......very polite.

good to know, will look into getting me one


still no news on the permit, still early yet.....

[annabelle]

Received mine today........took about 8 weeks........they did request I send them something which I was not told was required......that may have delayed the process a bit. Very nice folks and very easy.

[Blake Clark]

Awesome, mine went out May 15th... shouldnt be much longer now.

[annabelle]

Crossbreed repaired my holster at no charge.......sent it back with a thank you for choosing their product and sent a roll of Lifesavers as a gift.

[Blake Clark]

Still waiting on my permit.... :(

Really want a crossbreed though, soon as it comes in i think im gonna order one.

[Fronty Owner]

I carried today.
I carried yesterday.
I carried over the weekend.
I carried in three states today.

[Blake Clark]

Well

I applied for my CCL on May 10th. Its August 23rd. Figured Id call and see what was going on with the situation. I actually got someone on the phone first time. Wow!

Little lady asked me for all my info then she became concerned. My CCL was approved on May 19th. That is just an 8 working day turn around and the card was mailed out to my residence.

Well apparently I never got it. And the wifey has been dutifully watching the mailbox too. I did at the end of May have a problem with some mail go missing (random incident) but thought nothing of the CCL cause I figured it would be a couple of weeks at least.

She was having a new card issued and mailed immediately. Was real nice about it too. She did tell me that the reason I was approved so quickly is a spotless record, LEO background, and technically, Im still POST certified.

At least I know I was approved.....

[Fronty Owner]

thats good to know. I would wait on carrying until I had the card in hand.

BTW, is post certified kinda like CLEET certification?

[Blake Clark]

POST is (in LA anyway)

Peace Officers Standards and Trainings

Governing Body for all Academies.

What does CLEET stand for.


And no, Im gonna wait till I have physical possession of my card.

[Fronty Owner]

CLEET is Council of Law Enforcement Education and Training. sounds like Oklahoma's version of POST.

[annabelle]

We have Cleet in TX. They called and I donated to them. The next day (no joke) I was inundated with calls for donations from every organization under the sun. They sold my number! Never again. A few years earlier the same thing happened when I donated to Mac Gruff the crime dog......I have finally learned.

[Blake Clark]

Wife just called. Card is in.


Yeah!

:D

[annabelle]

Great news!

[Fronty Owner]

congratulations.

[Blake Clark]

Thanks Fellas

Now I just gotta get home and pick it up!

[annabelle]

Just curious.......how long is your good for in LA.?

[Blake Clark]

Well, they just changed it.

When I applied it was either 2 yrs or 4 yrs, pending on how much cash you wanted to spend.

As of Aug 15th, its now a $125 fee and its valid for 5yrs.

wow! Oklahoma is $80 for 5 years or $160 for 10 years.
I think that it was about $125 for the first time tho.

[annabelle]

Mine was $140.00 for 4 years in TX.
