Went through the hcp class

[Mike]

Went to On Target last night to go through the HCP class with one of my friends. It was a little bit boring, very informative though about the legal ramifications of carrying and using your gun.

:up: for On Target.

Now off to the DMV to get my application in!!!

Congrats on taking the class. Now the longest part-the wait. It sounds like you got out of the class exactly what you should. The legal ramifications. Just remember. Every bullet you fire in a "fight" belongs to YOU!!! If an innocent bystander is hurt, it is YOUR fault, not the scum bag.

The world is a safer place when good guys carry guns.

Congrats on the easy part...

Now the hard part...the waiting.....

But after those 2 things.....your legal.... :up:

I myself also enjoyed the class part(most of it anyway). They let you in on alot of nice legal info. Even some you dont like hearing. But all in all, it was good info to have if your gonna carry a weapon!

Mike, while you are waiting for the permit, why not spend some time reading over Tennessee's gun code. It's not unusual for those teaching the classes to be wrong on an item of two. Or maybe they might have said something you misunderstood.

[Mike]

Will do! Would that info be on Lexis Nexis?

I went and turned my permit application in today. I tried calling the Handgun Permit office on Foster Ave., but they close at 4:30pm. Since I got printed in the HGPO when I worked for THP. I'm going to see if I can get my prints transfered. Hopefully I won't have to go down there again and this time pay to get printed...

You worked for the TN Highway Patrol? As a Trooper? If so, you wouldn't need the class would you?

[Mike]

I was a dispatcher.

[Guest GlocKingTN]

I was a dispatcher.

Oh Ok! Now I see....

[Mike]

Damn, they won't transfer the prints. Oh well, I found out the nearest printing office is less than a block away from my office. Not too bad of a problem.

Going to do that tomorrow.

[Marswolf]

Yep it's in: Tennessee Code/Title 39 Criminal Offenses/Chapter 17 Offenses Against Public Health, Safety and Welfare/Part 13 -Weapons.

my instructor phrased it as "every bullet comes with a free lawyer attached" too bad the lawyer isn't for us

The wife is at the TDoS office right now trying to wade through the sea of illegals getting driver's licenses to get her permit papers processed.

I went to the DMV in Columbia to do my paperwork and it was the middle of the day and it was a ghost town. I was in and out in about 20 mins. A friend of mine who lives in Nashville even came down to Cloumbia to do his paperwork as well, just for the short wait time.

[TGO David]

I'm not sure how long the wait was for her, but it was a while. She got it taken care of and now just has to go get fingerprinted.

[Guest GlocKingTN]

I have seen some people at the Jackson DMV wait ALL day to get their license or whatever. The day I went and had my address changed on my license to buy a gun, it was at that time a ghost town. Took all of 10 minutes!

Memphis is brutal as well. There is a new station on Union Extended that just opened at the beginning of the year, most people don't know about it yet, so it is not to busy, I was in and out in about 30 minutes.

[Mike]

It took an hour for mine. I went to the one in LaVergne. Even at 2:00 there were 25 people in there.

Rather than waiting in line here, I drove to Jackson to get my paperwork done. I think including the drive time I was done in about 2.5 hours. Probably less than that. Had I gone some where around here, I would still be in line. Where is this place on Union Extended?

Your probly right saints. I have heard that the ones in Memphis are the worst ever.

Hey, Summer Ave isn't that bad

It is off Poplar between East Parkway and Walnut Grove/Poplar Overpass, fly under thing. If you are going west on poplar, you will cross over walnut grove and it is on the left (Union Ext) the building is a high rise black glass building, it is around the back side. There are signs. Lippscomb and Pitts Insurance high rise is back there and a funeral home.

Called the office, My permit was issued today and will be in hand in about 7 days according to the HCP office.

[Marswolf]

Things have really changed for the better on the TCP thing.

When I took my class, it could take several weeks just to get in and do the fingerprinting using ink at the Highway Patrol office. Then it would take another couple of months to actually get the permit.

Thats probably gonna mean you will have it in 9-10 days. Every one I have talked to, got theirs in 9-10 days from issuance! Who knows, you may be the exception....
