I applaud the individuals that carry concealed who are training for the possible need for self defense. Most know the important part in training is the "mind set". A person may know how to run their gun and be a good shot but without the proper mind set you are defenseless. Tom Dupriest has very good defense classes and instructors. I would recommend the Shoothouse USA highly. My experience with other trainers around Little Rock have not been as informative.

I for one think that Arkansas as well as all of the other states that currently are not, should be an "Open Carry" state. Maybe if the thug can see with their own eye's that someone is carrying, then they will not be victimized. But then, some of the idiot thugs are pretty stupid.

There is a huge back log of applicants is why it is taking a long time. When I got mine back in the 80's, it took me all of 3 days.

Hi jim40401- The background check is just what it is. State Police run everything on you.. It took my husband and myself from 10/2011 until 12/2011 to get our conceal licenses. It was worth the wait..

Being a guy that shot on a small arms team I'll tell you that pistol will be no protection against a 30 caliber at 200 yards. Nor will it be protection against a real criminal. They will shoot you in the back and then do what they want. Stopping violence by creating more potential violence is not the answer. I don't know what the answer is. I sure wish some one would come up with a fool proof one. I would hate for anyone's innocent family to be killed in a cross fire by one of these gun toting fools. If it was one of mine I'm sure I'd be locked up a long time.

My wife and I both went and started the process for getting our CCW's. I am currently waiting on the State Police. I do not understand why it takes so long to get approved.

I agree. Being a woman, I carry at all times...

More people need concealed carry permits (and then need to carry at all times). If enough of these dirtbags get shoot when trying to mug or rape someone, we will see a decrease in these type crimes.
