Hi, new to the forum and really am enjoying it. Have lived in MA, NH, TX and VA before coming here--work for the Air Force as a Program Manager. Had CCWs in all of those states--got mine in MA after separating from the Air Force active duty, in Middlesex County where they were virtually impossible to get. The Chief of Police are the granting authority in MA. I flew fighters in SEA and he figured if the Air Force trusted me with 1000 pound bombs--or nukes, I probably was worth allowing to carry my Hi-power. Renewal in Norfolk County (down where the Pats play) was a question of "pick it up next tuesday." So in the most (then) gun unfriendly state in the union, it still varied based on where you lived. The western part of the state also was a lot easier. At any rate, all of the other states were shall issue, gun friendly, and no problem whatsoever. Even getting my non-resident in MA a few years ago--the State Police issue non-res, was easy.
Comes now Colorado Springs. The sheriffs issue CCWs in CO. Not only was it a pleasant, easy process--although not cheap! but I received a letter from the Sheriff aftet I got the permit (2 weeks) congratulating me for chosing to defend my property and family! His name is Makita and he is the most all out pro private citizen's right of the people leo I've ever had the pleasure to deal with. El Paso county is the most gun friendly place I've ever lived. I don't normally open carry, but would have no problem doing it whatsoever in the Springs. Outside of Denver and some of the liberal lunatic tree hugger havens--Vail, Boulder, etc, Colorado is the kind of state you would expect in the West. If the kalifornian yuppies don't like it,
