Average price per year, 16.72 @ 7 years not too bad IMHO

Also I notice the Florida electronic fingerprints need to be done in Florida. Can't I send electronic fingerprints from SC?

Thanks for your thoughts

Hold on. I expect the VA/SC fiasco to be staightened out shortly and SC permits honored in VA once again. Someone needs to contact SLED and VA to see what the status is. The last I heard was a total misunderstanding by the new head of SLED who didn't realize that SC had a verification system.

Jang has an excellent point - in that the RESIDENT requirement is paramount. I had missed that with the SC issue. Hopefully, VA and SC will get their act together. The VA / SC issue revolves around 24/7verification. VCDL is on top of it.

HKFord - I used my course certificate signed by an NRA intructor for my FL CWP. I had the local PD do my prints, which was electronic in nature, but the output was printed on the standard print card provided by FL DOACS. Had the new FL CWP in hand at about the 60 day mark.

My understanding is the new head of SLED told the VA that SC did not provide verification and that caused VA to withdraw. However it has been pointed out to him that SC does indeed provide verification but he was unaware of it. The question is does it meet VA's requirements. A verification system is required by law in SC but it does not state that it has to be 24/7. I expect it to be resolved soon so SC and VA can establish reciprocity. But soon to SLED is different than to most people.

However from what I hear it may be solved before you can get a NH permit at the rate thay are backed up. Also TX seems to be so flooded with applications they are taking months fro renewals.

ron8903: my license arrived a few months before the "7 year" rule was enacted, so its only good for 3 years from the date of issue... the processing fee, fingerprint fee, and cost of the class adds up...

of course, being able to defend myself anywhere i go: priceless.

Also, the renewal is only $65, which is good... and my next renewal will extend my CWP for 7 years. So that IS a good deal (if you consider paying $ to utilize your rights a good deal.)

Actually its 5 years, if its FL resident, before the 7 year extinction.
And for paying for (to utilize your rights) doesn't matter its what we have to do, good deal or not.
Do I like it NO but that's life.
