Had to qualify today for my CC Permit under Federal Law for retired LEOs. Tempature was already in the 80s at 9 am and going up, humid , dew point at60. Now for a fat old man this is not good, besides arthritis in my hands hurting. That's my list of excuses, took 2 1911s with me, a 9mm and a 45 acp. Opted for the 9mm as it is easier for me to rack the slide when hands hurt. Went through the course without a clitch, so am good for another year. Funny thing our state permit doesn't require and qualifying, $50 for 5 yrs. the retired LEO cost $50 per yer and an annual shooting qualification. BNecause of the ease of obtaining a state permit it is not reconized in a lot of states, where the retired LEO one is valid in all states, even Illinois.
