      what kind of belt are you guys riding your gear on?...

      I have two of the Wilderness Instructor belts. They're noticeably stiffer than the Bison Design (I think it's the Last Chance Heavy Duty) I have. I also use 2 leather 5.11 belts that were free w/ other purchases. The Cabela's Double Duty is not a bad belt, but the leather finish is not holding...

      The average CCW issue time?

      May have changed since spring-summer '11 when I got my LA concealed carry permit, but I waited 12 weeks from the time the application arrived at LSP until it was mailed to me. I used digital prints done by a local law enforcement agency. No divorces or prior military experience. Moved to LA...

      Shipping a rifle within louisiana

      I recently went on a hunt in CA. One of our hunters was going to ship his guns to CA to avoid potential hassles w/ the airlines. In researching it, I didn't look up the USPS rules myself, but I read many times on the 'net that USPS no longer ships guns. Your local post office should be able to...

      walmart rules the world

      Complicated issues w/ no easy answers. I support mom and pop stores, including LGS, whenever I can. OTOH, If I am going to buy ammo in my town, it will have to come from WM as there is no other store in town that carries ammo. In addition, there is only one store in town that sells guns, a pawn...

      what is the turnaround time for getting CHL after submitting?

      Mine arrived today. Mailed to BR w/ digital prints 6/6 and received at LSP 6/8. No problems w/ application or questions. Total time from their receipt of application to my receipt of permit was 11 weeks.

      CHL still hasn't come in. What's taking so long?

      I don't think its wrong to call after a reasonable wait, especially considering all the things that could go wrong (e.g. application accidentally stalls at LSP, application is sent back to you but is lost by usps, approved permit is lost by usps, etc). I called today to check on status of my...

      what is the turnaround time for getting CHL after submitting?

      Just called the LSP using the ph # on the CHP application form. My application's been approved, but hasn't been mailed yet as they're currently out of printing supplies.... Should go out in the mail next week:). The lady taking my call was very polite and the call itself took less than 15 seconds.

      Keltec PF9 thoughts?

      Cottonmouth, The Kel-Tec PF9 is one of my main cc guns. It splits time between pocket carry (http://www.bearcreekholsters.com/back-pocket.php) and IWB carry (Southern Sidekick, http://rgrizzleleather.com/pricingandordering.html). The Southern Sidekick is a nice holster, but if I had it to do...

      what is the turnaround time for getting CHL after submitting?

      Mailed mine to BR (with digital prints) 6/6. Confirmed receipt 6/8. Still waiting, although haven't been notified thus far of any problems. Since I had digital prints, I was expecting approval by now...... How difficult is it to contact them to check on the status?

      Need a North LA Area Gunsmith to Work on a Stevens Rifle

      Armed Citizens, I'll admit I didn't know you were out there, either! Tell me about your shop, if you don't mind.;)

      Need a North LA Area Gunsmith to Work on a Stevens Rifle

      Hey guys, I want to convert a Stevens Model 200 bolt action rifle (basically a non-Accutrigger Savage 110 bolt action) from 270 Win to 223 Rem. I'll do the bolt head change myself. Have considered doing the barrel change myself as well, but I've never done this before and I may not have time to...

      Fingerprint cards for LA CCW Permit

      Yes, you're right. I misread a later post that caused me to think otherwise. Leadfoot, you're right again!:) Yesterday when I spoke w/ the WPSO, the person answering the phone was not helpful. Today I spoke w/ someone else, this time a very helpful Detective in the Booking Office (same...

      Fingerprint cards for LA CCW Permit

      I realize this thread has taken off on some different directions, but I for one find some of the new directions interesting. I'm curious w/ the specifics of the process and have a few more questions if y'all don't mind: ;) What happens w/ the fingerprint card once it's received by the LSP? Is...
