A concealed carry story!

**PennsyPlinker** · November 24th, 2008, 09:32 PM

Greetings all

I don't have much call to post here, but from time to time I do get an opportunity. This past weekend, just in time to show it off at the OC/CC Pizza Party in Lancaster, I received my CFP (Concealed Firearm Permit) from Youtaw.

I have never been there, and I don't think I will ever have plans to go there, but they were kind enough to send me a CFP so I can carry places I do go - like Ohio. Ohio is important to me, as is Alabama. It would have been nice to get South Carolina, but they don't seem to cooperate with anyone. In any case, I can now visit both of my daughters and carry my gun legally the whole way to either one, with the exception of a short stretch in the Worker's Paradise of Maryland.

As for a timeline for anyone interested, I took the class September 5th, and mailed the application in about a week or so following. My permit arrived Saturday, Nov. 22. I will, of course, carry openly whenever possible, but for those places where CC is the rule, I have more where I can go.

You should. A couple buddies and I drove through it on our way to Vegas. It is beautiful.

I need to get one of those for in Ohio, but no one ever holds the Utah classes on this side of the state...

Should Tony and the fine folks from the Fire Institute not have a course offering nearer to you, you may wish to check the following thread in the Concealed Carry Forum:

Utah Permit courses (2) - Adams County Sun 12/7, State College - Centre County Sat 12/20

Poster djturnz is handling sign up for the Adams County session, SlipStik is handling the Centre County course.

Both courses above are offering a discount to PAFOA posters and LEO's.

Hey lildobe / all ...

I am a Utah Instructor originally from Pittsburgh, PA

I was OP PennsyPlinker's Instructor for a semi-private Utah course offered in Harrisburg, PA in September.

I cover 5+ states for Utah's program.
As the only Out of State Utah Instructor listed for multiple states by the Utah Dept of Public Safety, it keeps me pretty busy.

I work part of the year out of my second home in southwest Virginia but also maintain a studio just outside of Pittsburgh in Coraopolis, PA. The studio is slightly more than one mile from either exit 64 or 65 of I 79, less than 15 minutes from the I 79 / I 76 "Parkway West" Interchange. less than 25 minutes from Green Tree Hill.

Should you not be able to conveniently arrange instruction with TonyF and the very fine folks of the Fire Institute, I may be able to help you when I am at home in PA. When I am in Pittsburgh and available, course fee is the same whether it is for group instruction or semi-private. Course runs 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 hours depending upon the number of attendees, experience level, questions posed, etc ... + admin time afterwards for application processing and fingerprinting.

Course fee is $75, discounted to $65 for PAFOA posters. Fingerprinting services also available, normally $13 per the state but I can waive this if you bring a friend or two ...

PM me if you need further info ...
