I'm considering taking the necessary class(es) for a Delaware CCW, but I'm not afraid I'd go through the training ($$), submit the paperwork ($) and then get denied for some idiotic reason that the prothonotary reviewer can cook up, and then have to wait for a period and then re-take the training ($$ again), re-submit the paperwork ($ again), and then possibly have a slightly better chance at being granted a CCW "With Restrictions". Hmm what to do?

Cool. I have quite a lot of connections through the boss man too, but they're all judges and Deputy AG's. There are also some connections through granddad who is a retired WPD officer. But they more the merrier. Right now I think that the general concensus is to get as much training and CYA material as possible before submitting the application. Great to know there are some people that acknowledge that I'm not a 21 year old idiot wanting to walk around with a gun strapped on his hip. To be honest, I'm really just interested in getting one on the off chance that I do have to take a stroll through Crackheads R Us or have to walk around with a large sum of cash when I'm on the way to the bank to make the weekly deposits.

did u say cash?

well that will be your in - all the folks that i know who have a de ccw that arent LEO's or CO, ect ect all have a cash business -

making large cash deposits - that is a very important factor that you absolutely need to mention on your application when it comes time

i had a pretty good childhood - i have been to "drive up" court where the judge comes out of his chambers or court room to the freakin window to dismiss my traffic ticket

got a personal letter of expungement and release from the AG - until the offical paperwork was completed

yea - i left behind a lot of perks when i left DE

dont get me wrong - i still took my licks, only when i was between a rock and a hard place did my fam lend a hand

unless the cop was just plain wrong

i also had inside intell - like not to drink in dewey beach cause that is how the town made it yearly budget, from open container citations - no matter what happend you were guilty

now they make fun of me - cause in az if you screw up, you get to wear a pair of pink panties!

honestly - give dave a call, he is a great guy and i used to lifeguard at the beach with his son

Okay, I'm taking the DE CCW class in May. I must ask though. I have a Kimber Eclipse Target II and that's the only handgun that I personally own. I anticipate being able to get the CCW permit in that I have some reputable "sponsors" lined up and I have a pretty good reason to carry (cash business), but I need to know, what's the most effective carry point to conceal a full size 1911. I'm sort of thinking small of the back, but at about 4 o' clock inside the waist band seems like it would be doable too

janq - he is the man with the 1911

search some post's by him - there is a belt that he is particularly fond of

i am a fan of kydex due to the AZ heat - Comp-Tac makes awsome stuff that just disappears under even t-shirt and shorts

i personally have the C.T.A.C. and the Gurkha

i like the Gurkha better - faster on and off and seems to hide better then the CTAC

the biggest benifit of the CTAC that its completely configurable in almost any position

Thanks for the link. I'll have to deliberate as to whether the CTAC or the Gurkha. Either of the two would be more concealable than the Wilson Combat Tigershark that I presently have. I must ask though, does kydex make the finish on the gun wear faster than a leather holster? That's partly why I sprung for the Wilson Combat holster, suede lined, but that's also before I considered going for a CCW. Any input there?

nope - in fact kydex is supposed to be more forgiving than leather - or at least that is what i heard

honestly - this whole holster wear thing baffles me

mainly because i consider a sidearm a tool and like any tool in the tool box, it will never look as new as the day u bought it

This is true, but the Eclipse finish is just so damn beautiful. I'm anal about the appearance of all my schtuff though, car, guitars, wardrobe etc., etc. I'll definitely give it a shot

i forgot to mention - the most important part of any carry rig is the gun belt!

you need a really thick and stiff gun belt - believe me, its makes the world of difference!

depending on what your going to wear you can choose between gun leather or Nylon

i personally wear the Wilderness Instructor's belt - it kicks ass

Gun belt, that's a good point. I'd completely overlooked that until you brought my attention to it.

Well I took the class for the out of state CCW for FL this morning, and there is a good chance that I'll be going to law school there, but I'm still going for DE too. I guess it's fair to say that I'm on my way.
