When you say "turned of age", you do know that you have to be 23 (not 21) to get the permit don't you?
Wow!, How did they come up with that rediculious rule? Old enough to go to war,buy a handgun, drink but can't legally carry a concealed weapon.That doesn't make sense.
Ruger-Redhawk, yeah, it's a weird ruling. I don't know how they came up with that. Maybe they used motor vehicle accident data and figured by 23, you're a little more mature.
Oklahoma has had CCW for about 8 years now. I got mine when they first started. It's good for 4 years and I have to renew (for the 2nd time) this summer. Missouri should be getting it soon too. They just approved it I think. Funny thing about Oklahoma, they'll only reciprocate with other states if those states have similar requirements. South Dakota has virtually no requirements other than to apply at the local Sheriff's Office. So they won't allow a SD license here, and SD won't recognize mine because of it. We recip with Florida, and Texas, but not sure who else.
