Ohio was my first, just a few years ago after I left the PRK (Peoples Republik of Kalifornia). Getting a carry permit in Cali was and is damn near impossible being that it's a "may carry" state where you have to show a compelling need to carry. I got my Ohio CHL in 2015 about a year after arriving there. Then changed to Indiana in 2017 when I moved. My carry gun was and is a S&W M&P9c in a Bravo Concealment IWB Torsion holster.

Massachusetts 1981, was home on leave and had to renew my license, so was able to upgrade to personal protection, that's what they called
it back then. first carry gun S&W model 19 .357. Put it in a shoulder holster thru a lite jacket on and walked down to the local variety store to buy a pack of smokes it was about 10pm. as I got to within 50 yards of the store a guy ran out with a shotgun, jumped in a van and took off. First time carrying and was 5 minutes late to being in the middle of a robbery. I HAVE BEEN CARRYING EVERSINCE!

Again guys, yes I was in the US Army, Ft. Bliss TX a Buck Sergeant, in an 978 MP CO, other soldiers in my unit had one, so I filled out some forms, I went before a Judge, in his courtroom and was issued a white CCW card.
I still got it someplace, never used it or showed it and by 1981, was back in Korea.
Judge only asked me why I wanted one, and I said for personal protection, I think it was $35?!?
It was a white card with the Texas Sate Seal on the front.
