I enlisted in the Army Reserve back in October, left for Basic Combat Training in January, and finally graduated from my Advanced Individual Training a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to recieve my signing bonus soon and plan on using a small portion of it to add a CC weapon to my personal arsenal. I looked up the requirements to get a concealed carry permit and it said that military training could be substituted for the taking a class requirement. Do I just go down to the circuit court with the completed application I got off their web site and my military ID or do I need something else proving I know how to handle a weapon?

I would think that a military ID should suffice. You should called your county clerk's office and ask them what they need from active duty military for a CHP.

Those of us who are veterans just have to show our DD-214. You don't have one of those yet

thanks, yeah I'll probably just call ahead.

Your current military ID will be fine. Just bring it to the Clerk's Office with the completed application and $50.00

also bring a copy of your current orders that put you in that state. i had to have them in Norfolk when i just put in for mine since i had an out of state drivers license.
