Well, at last it appears that I did something during my long period of really dumb choices (1963-1986) also known as my first marriage penalty-time-- I was teaching for awhile (6 years) in Upstate New York. During that time I registered for and obtained a CCP. I still have it, and just realized that it is "eternal" or rather Life-Time. The only gun on it is my Vietnam trophy Tokarev, but none the less I am actually legal to carry up there should I ever (perish the thought) decide to return to the Land of perpetual Winter. (Oswego area!!).
It will take more than an offer of free BBQ at the Dinosauer BBQ in either Syracuse or Rochester, to get me back there...But if I ever go my Tok goes with me !
