CCW Application-Pistol Revolver or both

[mpl006]

Hello all,

I have been looking around this site for a while as I was considering getting a CHP. I have decided to get one and am taking my course tomorrow morning. I have called the place that I am taking the course but could not get anyone to have my question answered. After looking at the application, under the question and answer portion, question six states:

Have you completed training as prescribed in LRS 40:1379.3 (D) (1) and LAC 55:I:1307.D? (Attach Proof)
You MUST indicate the type of Handgun you received training with: Pistol Revolver Both

I have both a Glock 23 and a Colt Mk 5. My question is if I just bring the G23 and get the training with it and file the application just marking Pistol and later get a small or medium frame revolver would I not be able to carry it? If not on a general note, is it common for you to be able to train with both at one class, or is it more than likely two classes?

Thanks for the responses. I have enjoyed reading and now hope to enjoy being apart of this group that enjoys shooting as much as I.

LA's chp does not specify which type you must carry. No one knows why it's on the app.

As I recall, the prescribed class course material covers both for purposes of the application.

This is correct. As was the first response. It makes no difference which you carry, the permit is valid for ANY LEGALLY OWNED semiauto or revolver, not 1 specific weapon like some states.

+1 to what was said above. Shoot either one at your training class, you can still carry whichever you want.

Yep, my teacher told us to just check the both box, he didn't know why it was on their either.

Check both.

As long as they're HANDGUNS, which I'm sure there would be a lively debate as to whether or not they are, I don't see why not, but I'm no authority.

Call the Sarge at LSP and ask.

Personally, I think hanging a 12 gauge under your arm beneath one of those would be pretty badasstical as well.

One more thing, CP...

If you decide to do that, call me and let me know how much your bail was.
