Lou--I had one when I lived in Iowa, just because I was more interested in the process used to obtain the permit, not the likelihood of having to ever use a gun for protection. That was about 15 years ago.
When I took the Iowa class, there were people that got the permit that had NEVER fired a handgun before, that were then going to buy one for "protection" reasons.....BAD IDEA to me.
The one thing about the class that I remember, was the police instructor saying that "EVEN IF someone was armed, in your home, and PERCEIVED to be a lethal threat, that BEFORE you pull the trigger, you had BETTER have warned the intruder more than once to leave, AND YOU THE PERMIT HOLDER better be backed into a corner and CONVINCED you were in a LIFE THREATENING SITUATION, or you would end up being the one getting the worse out of the resulting end.
I like the idea of WI allowing CC Permits, and will get one when available. I also would like to see anyone that is allowed to get one, be required to pass an annual Psychological evaluation each and every year in order to keep the permit------Law Enforcement personnel as well.
Someone wrote in this thread-- "Think hard before going for it , it can get you in a lot of trouble. The education corse is a great one to take even if you don't get the permit. Take a corse thru a place that knows what there doing."
I would add, make sure you REALLY KNOW how to handle correctly any handgun you plan to carry.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
