Via D.W. Drang at The Clue Meter, we get this lovely bit of news
Utah has an interesting set up for Concealed Carry: You have to take a class to get their permit, it is otherwise shall-issue. The class has to be conducted by a Utah-Certified instructor, but, once the instructor is certified, he or she can conduct the training pretty much anywhere.
So, it develops that a Utah-certified instructor here in the Puget Sound region is arranging to conduct UT-Concealed Firearm Permit (CFP) classes at some of the local Wholesale Sports stores. (Formerly known as Sportsmans World.)
A UT-CFP is valid in 29 states: AL, AK, AR, DE, GA, ID, IN, KY, LA, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NM, NC, ND, OH, OK, PA, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WY & WA. Of course, if you live in WA, you have a WA permit–right? (I am wondering why Michigan is not on that list, as the last I heard Michigan was in full compliance with the 10th Amendment, and offered “full faith and credence” to any other states’ concealed carry license; possibly it’s because you have to be a resident of the state that issued the permit for them to recognize it.)
The instructor, Shawn, tells me that he has arranged to conduct the training at the Federal Way location on December 20th and January 16th, and the Lacey location on
DecemberJanuary 24th.Â(I know what you’re thinking, “What a great Christmas present!”)Â He is also trying to make arrangements for a class in the Silverdale store on December 19th, so if you are, or know anyone who is, out that way, have them call the store and ask about the class*…ÂThere may also be one or moreThere will also be a class at the Burlington location on January 17th.

He is right that this would make a most excellent Christmas present.
Whoever, I’d like to point out that the second Federal Way date is on my birthday. Not only that, but that location is less than 5 miles from my house. So now I have to go!
And I will be there.
If you’re local, you should be too.
