Good luck with your new Utah CCW permit - you should have it in about five to six weeks.

I wrote the check a little over two weeks before it showed up in the statement from the bank. The permits started arriving at just about sixty days after they received the applications.

Since the USPS managed to deliver my application four days after Damsels, my permit arrived that many business days later than hers. I think they have an assembly line approach to the permit process.

Some people get it, like the folks at that site. I appreciate the comments they left here and encourage anyone who wants to get the Utah CCW and who can get to the vicinity of Salt Lake City to sign up for their course.

The instructor is a vet of the Utah Army National Guard. An appropriate comment to come in on the evening of Veterans Day.

My niece attended the DLI in Monterrey several years ago. She trained in Russian to eavesdrop on air to ground transmissions in Eastern Europe. Alas, she is a hopeless liberal living in Paris these days. Her dad and granddad are rolling in their graves and I just shake my head.

Probably next year we’ll be in Monterey visiting our daughter who will be attending the Defense Language Institute. She’ll be there for a year and a half or until the Army gets tired of training her..
