Background check for buying a gun

We are still an open carry state. There is a bill in the legislature now that makes it clear. You do not have to have any training to get a concealed carry permit but you do to get the "enhanced" concealed permit. You are correct that the instructor can charge whatever they want and teach whatever they want also but they generally follow the NRA course.

Additional info: this has passed the House and is in the Senate

Same here canebreaker must have training certificate 8 hour class teaches mostly gun safety because a lot of people are handling guns for the first time also teaches places you can carry and you shoot 50 rounds. Some other things on OSBI check you must send finger prints and passport photos with application and one question asks if you have ever been committed for mental health problems. I think most of the southern states will honor other states permits while traveling.

The reason is to prevent people with mental health problems or felony convictions from walking around armed even if most felons do anyway. But former felons who are stopped for a broken taillight or something with guns get to go spend more time with their convict buddies. I carry concealed because I don't want the bad guys to know I am armed.
