    Okay, the time has come (and gone) for me to renew my CCP. I was all set up to take the class before my expiration date of 04/19/2022. Twice from two different instructors my class was cancelled. I am in the Pearl River area and need to get my class done soon. FITS told me there is like a 60 day grace period but none of their scheduled classes fall in time to get my stuff sent off before then and I got in touch with them too late to get in their online class.

    Anyone know of someone else on the north shore that I could contact about doing this class. Back when I did my original CCP it took 13 months to get back. I would hate to have to go through all of that again.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    with the resurgence of permitless CC in LA once again, you might want to wait a while and see if it indeed passes this time. No cost CC for all eligible LA citizens.
    One of the guys here posted a really good argument/comment he thought it may pass this time, that maybe a back room deal has been made. The legislature wouldn't re-attempt passage so soon if there was not enough votes to overturn the JBE veto this time around.

    If you are still looking to renew, we have a class this Saturday April 30th, 2022. I know this is after your expiration date, but better late than never (if you choose to renew). Class starts at 12 noon, costs $100 cash for first-timers, or $50 cash for renewal, and you don't have to pre-register. Just show up at the St. James Sheriff's Range in Vacherie, La with your handgun and at least 36 rounds of ammo. Range is located behind the Parish dump, 2.2 miles West of Hwy 20 on 3127
    If you need additional info, 225-562-2571 and ask for Lt. Brooks.

    I realize this is nowhere near Pearl River, but thought it might help if you can't find anyplace else.

    Thanks. For me, its not just about having the permit. I love the fact that I never get delayed when buying a new gun anymore also due to not having to go through the check.

    They are based on the northshore but the class is all online. I just did my renewal with them a month ago. Start and stop modules at your convenience. Can't recommend it enough. Go shoot your qual with them when you are done.

    Permitless carry doesn't help you when you want to carry out of the state lines...

    I second this. I took my renewal with Bearco online and actually learned something. Didn't have to listen to everyone chiming in with their war stories. I shot my qualification at Bedico range, but I believe that you can shoot just at just about any qualified range.

    Just want to say that I have taken 5 Concealed Carry Classes over the years in person and just took the online one from Bearco and was really impressed with the detail set up of the class.

    The shooting part was good too. Barret is a great instructor as many of you I'm sure already know.

    I highly recommend his class.
