RW>RN> I've had one of those in the trunk of my car for two years now, along
RW>RN> with a certificate from a firearms instructor (a requirement).
 
RW> I've got the app, but never filled it out. We need that cert from the
RW> instructor as well. I haven't had the time to do that.
 
Here, it costs anywhere between $50-100 for a licensed instructor.  I
probably know as much about handguns as they do, but that doesn't count,
unless I want to become a state-certified licensed instructor.
 
RW> Yeah, those are the ones who shoot themselves in the foot, or shoot the
RW> instructor with an unloaded gun.
 
And with a chambered round in a Glock, that is VERY easy to do.  (-:  Not
possible in a Colt .45 auto, however, unless the hammer is cocked.  By the
way, the nurse, all 5' of her, who outshot me was using a Walther PPK.  I
don't know (or care) where she got it, but she took her sweet time firing
it. I'd like to say I had a better pattern than she did (for what I was
trying to do), but I don't remember.
 
RW> One of those faster than I am deals.
 
See above.
 
RW> Brandishing that firearm is also a no no...does it say that too?
 
As I recall, it does.  If you do that, you'd better have a darn good reason
that makes sense to the LEO you're explaining it to or else you can be
charged with reckless endangerment and have your license revoked.  And if
approached by a police officer, you have to state that you're
"carrying" and produce your license -- very carefully.
 
Also, I am not allowed to take one on a plane with me.  I tried to do that
back in 2005 without a license, but those mean ol' TSA guys, whom I had
that wonderful rapport with, frowned on that. I finally got rescued by the
head gal at the Southwest desk who let me leave it with her and I called a
friend of mine from here to go pick it up at the N.O. airport.
