I learned some really great news today. I recently moved from SC to TN and haven't been able to make the time to take the TN qualification course. What I found out from an LEO (and confirmed local DL office) is that I can simply "swap" my SC CCP for a TN one. I'll have to wait whatever processing time takes which they guessed at 2-4 weeks and pay $50, but I'm a pretty happy camper. I new about the reciprocity, I just never guessed they'd issue me a permit. I'd even asked at the DMV if they'd honor my SC training cert. and they said no.
I have no idea if other states will do this but I figured it was worth sharing.
A side note: I was talking to the LEO in my front yard. I took the opportunity to ask what his department's response time would be if I called in a break-in in progress. His response was "As fast as you can pull the trigger". That was before I'd asked about a recommendation for a local CC class. I suppose I should have phrased my question differently to get the answer I was looking for, but was too taken off guard to regroup and ask again.
I know someone is wondering... He was looking for someone who used to live in this house. I haven't seen him or his cocaine kingpin buddy. Interesting conversation all the way around. And no, I am not taking his answer as legal advice.
