That's good to see, but the title of it bugs me a bit. In the text specifically it states that "Many Iowa sheriffs still have grave concerns about a new state gun law..."
My problem is... are these sheriffs all around the country really that blind? Can they not look towards the other sheriffs around the country who have been doing this for years? Are the people in their jurisdiction really that different as to warrant worry over issuing CCW permits? It's as if these LEO's cannot see beyond the border of their states (or counties) and see that CCW's are really not a big deal for lack of a better phrase. Not trying to stir trouble. It just confuses me sometimes. |

It's always varied by the county you were in. I applied in Jasper county three times and was denied on the excuse and I quote "I just don't think you have an acceptable reason to have a permit." this came from the sheriff himself. I moved one county over to Polk county and had my permit two weeks later. He didn't care why I wanted a permit just that taken neccasarry training.

Example; ReNewals applicants have to requalify on the range by a certified instructor and scored on proficiency. That is if your orignal qualification is older than one year. New Applicants can get their permit, by attending a classroom session and not fire one single round. That's right, no range time. You don't even have to own a handgun. Live fire is optional. Or, new applicants can optain a permit by presenting a copy of a DD-214 and show honerable discharge. I don't know about the rest of you Vets. but the Navy only spent four hours with me, shooting a 1903A3. I did pull some sentry duty with an issued 1911a1 but no bullets. ..... Now, if the Sherrifs would have been more consistant across the state and performed their elected duties, it would not have come to this. Again, as HoraceHogsnort once wrote; "It ain't perfect but it's an improvement." Be Safe !!! |

I think they do reciprocate with other states...
... at least those that have similar training requirements, as of January.

Well EVERYONE knows that Iowa is going to be the exception to the rule that has ruled the nation since shall-issue CCW became a tidal wave starting in the late 1980s.
Those Iowegians, including my best friend, are a surly and nasty lot, fast to anger, even faster to slap leather and send hot lead love notes flying. I predict There Will Be Blood, with Daniel Day Lewis drinking everyones' milkshakes. I have never been able to figure out why every anti-gunner in every state that has made its CCW laws better is just so sure that it is going to be the exception to the rule of calm, orderly, law abiding concealed carry.

He's originally from Pennsylvania.
It's his Iowegian wife about whom I have to worry.

As per Iowa Reciprocity. The Iowa DPS states that it will not sign reciprocity agreements as that is not in their law to sign such agreements. They will just honor all other states permits. The also state they will not list states that honor their permit. Their new law does not tell them to do that. So you will just have to wait for states to honor Iowa and the only way to find out is checking such places as my website or one similar. Then going to that states official website to confirm.
Some states will do so automatically. Florida will most likely add Iowa to the list of states they honor the first working day of 2011. Other states will automatically add them in the following months. NH Should as they will honor anyone who honors theirs. Some other states are like that. But some states require a signed reciprocity agreement. Ohio requires signed agreements so they will most likely never honor an Iowa Permit/License. We will just have to wait and see what states add Iowa in the coming months.

Iowa ccw
Maybe I mis-read the recent requirements for current ccw holders, but I believe you have a choice as to take the classroom instructions OR the shooting range to re-new your permit under the new law. Way back in the day, when I first received my permit, you only needed the classroom instruction unless it was for professional carry.

And as for this:

The Good Ol' Boys can carry a gun, beat their wife, get snockered at the Elks Lodge/VFW/Firehall and drive home, get caught at it and unless the wrong person gets hurt, it will all go away...... Nebraska's "Affirmative Defense clause" still allows for CCW by these favored ...... individuals. "Equality Before the Law" my fuzzy butt! |
