When I have had to take out my ID or credit card the gun has never been exposed. It is quite easy for me especially since I generally wear larger shirts. I have also never been pulled over in my 30 years of driving, but anything can happen. I don't have an issue letting an officer know that I am car...

I'm not sure if I heard about that one. Where did it take place?

Wallet is usually in my purse but now I carry my DL and Permit in my belly band when I am out. Of course he will then see the pistol. So I'm guessing I should inform them first, huh?
I forgot about how I wanted to carry when I first posted. The belly band feels great though and no printing at all.

Some good stories here! I just received my permit today. My husband has carried longer than I have been with him. He has only had one incident and it wasn't good. He says it's kind of a grey area and to make your decision based on the circumstances. I just want to be ready if it ever happens, so I t...

Just looking for some opinions.
If you are carrying legally and get pulled over for a minor driving infraction...do you offer the information that you are carrying, even if they don't ask?

I used to live in PA a couple years ago. Since we had to put on the application our 5 last years of addresses she was waiting on a response from Philly, but I explained to her that we were only in that County for 4 months and didn't change the address on our DL. After that was explained to her she j...

Permit is finally issued. I am picking it up this afternoon. I am so happy!
Thanks to all of you for your help!

Let me know if you do and what you think.

I think I will wait to see what tomorrow brings, but I will keep that in mind. Thank you!

Sig Sauer P238 .380. I've been shooting with that same gun but renting it at the range. I love that pistol! I used to shoot with hubby's S&W 9mm M&P, but it was just too much for me. I have Fibro and my hands would swell up for days after. I am much more accurate with the .380 anyways.

Still waiting. BTW- I am a woman. I finally was able to reach the person I needed to speak with at the SO. She said she had been waiting on something from Pennsylvania. She said she would try to get it done tomorrow. I asked if I could pick it up rather than waiting on the snail mail, especially ove...

The person that originally answered the phone had said that the woman that does the permits is just swamped with them. I still hadn't heard back from her. I left a message the other day. I hate to harass them and make it take longer. Lol

Thanks everyone for your input. I am working with Nicollet county. I wouldnt dare carry without the permit even though I know it is already valid. It's only 2 days late, but I am frustrated since I didn't bother with a purchase permit. So the gun I bought is still sitting at the store I purchased it...

Hi. I'm a newbie here. Just wondering if anyone knows what to do if my carry permit doesn't show up within the 30 days. I have already tried calling the sheriffs office, but am unable to reach the person I need to speak with.
