Lately my Facebook page has been flooded with these ads announcing that seniors can get concealed carry permits on-line, with no safety course, range time/competency, etc. They want to charge $95, presumably to process the application and mail you the permit. The particular ad I looked at made me suspicious, so I closed the page and searched for "KY (my state) concealed carry permit." There was n mention of any change in the laws benefiting seniors. As far as I can tell, you still have to present a certificate of completion for an approved firearms course, undergo the usual background checks, pay the sheriff and the county. This seems like an obvious scam. Has anyone tried this and succeeded?
Texas is a Constitutional carry state also. But, if you have a Texas concealed carry license, there is no background check when you buy a gun.
I don’t blame you one bit.
Yeah, Illinois has no reciprocity with any state. I think if I wanted to carry legally in any other state there are two or three states that would allow me to get their non resident CC. Something like that.
Do you even have to ask......
Facebook has lots of scams...some company selling silver coins put out by the US mint at about half the price of legit businesses.
Yes they are..
Really? You go online to advertise your gullibility or very smart setting up a new idenity
THERE ARE SO MANY SCAMS ON THE INTERNET
NOW A DAYS.
SEND ME $19.95 AND I WILL TELL YOU HOW TO AVOID THEM.
lol
Do you really have to ask - go yo your State.gov sites to get the real info.....I keep getting missives saying, “congrats (my email name instead of my name) your PayPal account has been credited...” and other such crap - I found a way to tell gmail to put anything I label as spam directly into my Trash folder.
Be still my heart! My safe is jammed full already!
I live in Florida. Concealed carry, okay. Open carry when fishing, hunting, or hiking.
If you think it’s a scam then it is.
I use FB only to see/hear from friends and family. The rest of what appears on my feed is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. Perpetual motion machines, MISANDRY-laced videos, scams, Chinese propaganda (they invented warp drive and teleportation!!!), WNBA is great!, etc..
I’ve stopped posting to any of it. Pure cesspit.
Going after dementia but still greedy seniors.
