This is my carry choice (when I carry) - Ruger LCRx .38 Spl + P

my wife received hers in yesterday's mail from our home state of North Carolina

The process too about 6 weeks (and $187)
Training (9.5 hrs) cost: $90.00
License Application cost: $97.00
Application review period: 5 weeks
License duration: 5 years

Her carry choice == S&W J Frame 38 Special with Crimson Trace Lazer

Congratulations to both of you, you have fine revolvers there! I am very happy for both. I still carry this old .38 special model 68, with plenty of "heft." I got the concealed permit wallet from the NRA. I will not get into the cost and regs to obtain a permit here in Pennsylvania because I feel like it would make me sound like I was bragging.

Congrats. Both are nice choices.

I was thinking today how much I'd like a Ruger Alaskan in 44 mag. Not so much as a carry pistol but for what it's meant for. I intend to do some backcountry western travel over the next couple of years. I have a nice 45 ACP carry pistol. But only connected cronies can get permits in the wretched state. Go figure. 30 miles from here the murder rate is one of the highest in the country!

Excellent Steve, glad you made it through the process.
$300 is steep but the peace of mind is valuable.

Congratulations! I like your carry choices!
