In my state, SC, the conceal carry permits are issued by SLED (State Law Enforcement Division; similar to a state police force). We are required to have a background check, attend classes, pass a written test, and pass a performance (shooting) test, all of which we pay for out of our own pockets.
We also avoid private businesses that don't permit guns. Hubby has even quit serving an entire gated community with his business because they forbid firearms. When potential clients call him from there, he tells them that until the homeowners change the "laws" of their community, he won't enter. (He doesn't normally carry when he works but it's the principle for him.)
Almost all of my assignments are in schools, hospitals, and government buildings, so I'm stuck.
