re: Concealed Handgun Permit Questions

I recommend dawg23 as well.

Yeah, bap, that's the way I'm leaning as well. I know practice and muscle memory are key, but to have to twist the gun into my body (as per the instructions that came with the holster) in order to draw....I don't care for it at all. I can snap the Shield outta that Aliengear with the swiftness.

Suppose I carry a concealed gun, without the permit. Something happens and I need to use my weapon, what, if any, differnce would it make legally?

ETA: senario 2, you get stopped by local PD, and they find out you are carrying concealed with no permit, consquences?

Assuming all of this happens in LA.

Thanks for the kind remarks. In the interest of full disclosure, I no longer send 1911's to people who post nice things about my class. I now send out Glock 19's.

In response to the OP - there are a lot of instructors out there, with varying levels of knowledge about the legal aspects of of CCW. I would suggest that you can't afford to be taught stuff that might cause you to be killed or to land in prison.

Nobody intentionally teaches crap. Everybody thinks they teach a good class. My advice is to do some homework, and check references from knowledgeable people.to ensure you're getting solid instruction.

I've had a lot of attorneys, and several LSU law professors, in my class. I think I'm pretty safe in saying that the stuff I'm teaching is valid.

NB: In my classes there are two criteria that aren't imposed in most other classes:
1. You need to already know how to load, manipulate and shoot your handgun. I spend very little time on "how to shoot." We spend a lot of time on "how to not get selected as a victim" and "how to not get shot."

2. Everyone must shoot a service caliber weapon (unless they have a medical condition that precludes this). 'Service caliber" means .38 Special or bigger in revolvers, and 9mm or bigger in semi-autos.

If you've never shot before, and need instruction in how to line up the sights, how to name the parts of a gun and the components of a cartridge, the NRA Basic Pistol class is just what you'll want. Precision Indoor Range and Gordon Hutchinson teach good classes.

If you're interested in taking my class, google my name (Ernie Gammon - Defense Training) and you'll find me. I'm leery of posting my website address - one member complained that I was "advertising" when I posted my contact info last year.

I only have time to teach my class about once per month - always on a Saturday. My classes fill up very quickly once I announce a class date, so I don't need to advertise. (Besides, I'm fortunate in that this doesn't have to be a primary, r even a significant, source of income).

I'm an NRA certified Pistol Instructor, and am also an NRA Certified Personal Protection Instructor.

If you Google my name you'll find my website. On that site there is a page entitled "Courses" that contains an outline of topics covered in my class.

Seriously, that should be a state requirement.

Some of the lesser instructors will take a customer who's never shot a gun before, and slide them through the class just to make a few bucks.

Is there anyway you can use pocket carry? If not, a few other alternatives:

EBR Sheriff doesn't have a range, they lease BRPD's range. Contact Charlie Robinson at the BRPD range. He is the best in Baton Rouge.

This is an aspect of classes that most students don't realize. I tell them if they want true handgun training to take a defensive handgun course, which typically lasts a day. Let's just say there has been about a 0% turnover rate with my suggestion . But some have come back to me for private lessons before as well so at least some are willing to put in the time. It sucks that the vast majority of those who take a class won't carry, and the majority that carry don't train regularly.
