    My ccw is up for renewal in November this year. Anybody else coming up? I thought it might be more interesting to take the renewal class as a group this summer...

    Mine is due next march. Am I able to use my DD 214 again as training. I used it to get my initial permit or do I have to take a class.

    Ugh....they just sent my packet back. I forgot to put a copy of my license :mad:

    Start the counter over I guess. :rofl:
    That's why I hand delivered both my initial application and my renewal. While not foolproof, I asked them to please look over the application and see if there is anything that I have missed. The person on the other side of the counter has always been very courteous and done so for me. Yes, it is my responsibility to do it and do it right, but it's nice to have that extra set of eyes that sees the packets daily to glance through it one last time ;)

    I thought they wanted it mailed? That way if you lied on the app they can tack on mail fraud...

    Last time I renewed I went to Nick's...

    When I first got mine I was able to use my DD 214 and since then I've had to take two refresher courses.
    After this Christmas I'll have to take another. :rolleyes:

    I want to get my CCW soon as well. I have read that Reillysmom wants to get hers too. Keep me posted if some of you are going to be getting your renewals in the next few months. My XD9 Sub-compact will be in this week and hopefully I'll get some practice with it so I can do well on the shooting portion of the test.

    don't know anything about that, I've brought it in twice though for my original and renewal. The people in the CCW unit are very courteous... I should have taken the lady's name and wrote a letter complementing the service level but I didn't think about it at the time.

    the shooting portion is a joke, I shot it my first time with a full sized S&W 9mm, on renewal I shot my G26 with no problems and I was actually out of practice for a bit (it had been several months). The only people that had any issues were those that looked like they had never fired a gun before in their life and were using the CCW course as a firearms instruction course... some of those people having a gun actually scares me.

    +1 We shot full sized silhouette targets at about 6'... I could have thrown darts and passed the course...
