just bought a smith and wesson model 637 in 38 special + P, for a concealed carry gun. problem is i can't pick it up until aug 8. kalifornia 10 day waiting period. i even had to take a test just to buy the darn thing. finger printed and the while nine yards. now am on a waiting list to take my concealed carry test, have to wait until there are enough people taking the test to make it pay for the instructor.
test so i could buy $ 25.00
revolver $450.00
sales tax $ 32.62
DROS $ 25.00
dealer fee $ 10.00
concealed carry test $125.00
concealed carry permit $250.00, renewable every 2 years at $80.00 a pop
darn near $1000.00 just to have what i need to carry, not to mention i have to drive 80 miles one way just to take the test.
but i found out that the only way i can legally transport a pistol in kalifornia is to have the permit or spend the money for a lock box when i transport,
![huh :huh:](./images/smilies/huh.gif)
even just to shoot for some fun, and i have to keep the ammo in a different compartment from the gun. now what the heck is that about! if the gun is locked up, what the f--k good is the ammo!
guess i am just too old school.
anyway i went ahead and done it
ps; i also ordered laser grips for it too!
