Seems good to me I spent a little less than 400 with everything this last go round

You spent about $150 too much, must be one of those NOLA Taxes.

I didn't shop around fingerprints at JPSO were 50 bucks I took like three different passport pictures and picked the one I liked best lol and I'm counting the rounds I shot and the notary fees maybe 40 bucks if I remember right so boom there's 130 without the rounds

 

[andimthejr]

But I'd drive to walker to save 150 bucks! Hiya doing my renewal is coming up in about 5 more years

i like the idea of the lifetime ccw b/c it's lessens the chance of gov't interference with our right to carry...shouldn't even have to jump through the current hoops anyways.

Mine expires in 8 months. Anyone know what the current wait times are? Dont want any "uncovered" time.

I'm all for family involvement, but it would have been a better photo op if he taught his kids to keep their booger hooks off of the bang switches. It's never too early to teach proper handling, even if only BB guns.

my renewal class was $55, the permit was $125, no prints but they are only $10 at LSP HQ, notary was free because the instructor has a deal with him and pic is like $10 at Walgreens.

Cool I plan on having this thing for ev er, if a lifetime does happen I can't see not spending the 500 plus all the other stuff, just not having to wait for it every 5 years is worth 500 to me and next time I'm deff doing finger prints and dropping it off at lsp I spent way to much this time then I mailed it priority with signature required and delivery confirmation I shoulda just spent the money on gas and drive up to br but now that I know for next time at least

I've only done prints one time and that was about 17 years ago. Don't let your CHP expire

I like the idea... Just like lifetime hunting licenses, it's one less thing to worry about. I do like the idea of adding some type of refresher course periodically, we can never learn too much.

A lifetime CCL probably would erase a lot of states which now honor the LA permit.

 

[LACamper]

Tom has a point. I'd hate to loose reciprocity...

On the plus side that's money that could go for ammo, more varied courses, etc.

What I'd like to see is different special topics courses that count for ccw. Have a 30 minute what's new section then get credit for a tactical class, etc. The same material gets old after a while.

Mine expired in March. On the website it said you must send in your renewal packet 60 days prior to expiring. I went on hearsay and waited till a month prior. I had to he without for 3 weeks. So, abide by the FAQ and send it in 2 months prior. Don't forget all the stupid time limits on pictures and whatnot. Thank God this one is for 5 years.

why?

4 months, they have 27 tubs of mail at LSP right now and there is a new person in charge, Sergeant Michelle King. Also there has been an increase of new applications of about 40% ever since the "weapons ban".

Be prepared to wait

$500 is a ton of money. I don't understand why the lifetime permit should cost more. Only time I ever have to deal with the permit folks is when I apply for the permit. After that I never deal with them again.

Good reminder though since mine is about to expire. I need to go grab my parish permit so I can skip the renewal class.

Does anyone know how this currently works between Louisiana and states such as AK, AZ, MT, and VT, where a permit is not required? The LSP map lists them all as reciprocal states- yet none of these states require a permit.


Personally, I agree with DZ, FWIW. This is but one step away from a law abiding citizen being able to do what he should be able to do, anyway, IMHO. It's the next best thing; I believe the states I mentioned above actually have the right idea.
