Ours has two classifications (or did when I was an instructor). If you c=sucessfully comoleted the range exercise with a pistol (revolver) you could only carry that, if you completed with a SA handgun you could carry either. As instructor, we had to qualify (with a higher score) with both.

 

here in NH we get a CWP(concealed weapons permit) covers pistols, and handguns. its also known as a pistol, and revolver permit. which technically are the same thing, but covers handguns.

 

Wow gdstock. All I had to do was walk in, fill out one form, pay a fee, give up my prints, and they will mail it to me when the background check goes through. No range stuff, I don't even own a handgun at the moment.

 

I am not sure of Texas's current requirments, but ours used to require a 15 hour class with a test where participant had to make at least 90%, and range proficiency, firing 50 rounds and scoring 70% as well, After passing the class and range exercise, one could make application with fingerprint card and paying fee.

I was kind of uncomfortable with the requirment of 70%. As instructors, we had longer class (always at DPS academy in Austin), and had to qualify with pistol and SA handgun, and score at least a 90% on all three exercises.

 

That may seem like a PITA to alot of people but it is actually a pretty darn good idea.. Most places like Wombat and Redneck have stated are just like here in PA.. You dont have to complete a class or anything.. Here in PA you go into the Sheriffs office hand him the paper and 4 dollars and get your picture taken.. A week later if your backround was all good you pick it up and pay the last 14 dollars....

You can also take a class for a Utah permit.. I am going to be doing that as soon as I can get some free time.. Here in PA the class cost 75 bucks.. The good thing about that is there is 34 states that will honor the Utah permit.. So that permit along with your state will usually have you covered for most states.. There is still a few though that wont honor it.

 

now just wait till you get your CPL in, and as soon as you do, you can buy a pistol just like a rifle...no 2 week waiting period

 

lol
Y'all have a two week waiting period? Shiet. In Texas it's like 5 minutes!

 

takes about 10 days here in NH
