Yesterday I went to the class to get licensed to carry a concelaed weapon.  The class was full with a wide range of people in age, occupation, and weirdness.  It was disturbing in some ways to see the types of people that will potentially be licensed to carry a firearm.

Well anyway's, the class itself was a couple of hours long, and basically gave basic firearms training and the laws and your rights of carrying a firearm.  The class was taught by a very knowledgeable St. Cloud police officer.  He went through various self-defense scenarios and gave advice of when and if you should use your firearm.  It was very interesting and I learned a lot of things I didn't know before.

After we had paid our class fee, had our fingerprints  and picture taken, we got our certificates and were on our way.  I finished filling out my state application at home, put in a check for about $117 and sent it off.  So now I have to wait at least three months to receive the license, so lets see how long it takes to get it in.
