I have a question, it's been a while

[budbreak96]

Hello,

If this is in the wrong section I apologize in advanced and you can move it to the right section. I finally talked my 70 year old Mother to get her c.c.p. She just semi-retired from F.D.L.E. 20+ year's but never had to have a c.c.p. My question is what is that place in F.W.B. that you can go get your license at? She will probably have to take the c.c. class, which I figured I would just take her this weekend to the fairgrounds and get her to take it there. She has been around firearm's since she was a little girl, her dad has property in Navarre that is hers now but he used to take her out there shooting when she was young and him and my father pretty much taught me just about everything I know to do with gun's. My Father is a retired Special Agent 30+ year's at F.D.L.E. so she has been around firearms her whole life. The other question I have is the place in F.W.B. what all will she need? Do they do the picture, fingerprints and the form there? so all she would need to do is go to the GunShow this weekend and take the class and just get the certificate?, or should she go ahead and get her picture, fingerprints, the packet filled out and everything and instead of mailing it in call F.W.B. and make an appointment and when she goes bring all of that with her?

Thank You in advanced,
Sorry again if this is posted in the wrong place, please move it for me. I have been a member since this forum started I just have been to busy lately to get on here and shoot the bull.

Do you have to make an appointment, or just walk in?

I believe it's by appoitment only. I had a six month wait last time I went but that was a while ago. I hear they are not nearly as backlogged now.

My appointment was only a week out when I did mine a couple months ago. Not sure how wise it is for anyone 70 plus years old in general to have a drivers licence much less a gun. Everyone is different, if she has the mental capacity still then go for it. Only you can make that call.

I know more sharp 70 year olds than 30 year olds, and I only know a handful of people over 65.

I think there's some 70 year olds on this forum who aren't going to appreciate that comment!

No problem, I've got 3 more years on my drivers license.....don't try to take my gun, if I can find it.

My dad is 84 yo and nothing wrong with his mental state. I do know a lot of 30 somethings that I wouldn't trust with a super soaker. Depends on the person.

Speak of the devil. Denny, I was just last night discussing aging with my wife. Your name came up. When I first saw you I thought "That can't be Denny, he's about 70 yo". You look about, maybe, 50.

Unless you are a competition shooter or something crazy like that, I will put my $$$, $$$$ where my mouth is, on her. We can go to the range anytime.

Just for poop's and giggles my Father is 71 and I will put it out there, you want to put a wager on going to the range with him I have at least 5k on him.
F.D.L.E. you have to go to Tallahassee I believe twice a year, might be once now because the state is so cheap to qualify in shooting, not just target shooting it's a bunch of different things, you have to qualify driving and several other things. There is a member here that still work's there that I'm pretty sure he would know what all is involved now. Dad's be retired a little longer than I thought, with everything going on time gets away. If I remember a buddy that works at the SO said they have to qualify quarterly and if they don't they cant patrol until they qualify the next time, they are still a LEO just cant patrol.
