Reborn in America: I Have an Equipment Slot

Irving searched for the application requirements and procedures for a CCW gun license in Florida and was immediately dumbfounded.

He hadn't understood why the black market for guns was so developed in America, or why so many people carried guns without a license.

After reviewing the application requirements and procedures for a CCW gun license, Irving immediately understood.

This gun license is so hard to get!

First, there are the application requirements. The United States has many states, and the procedures for obtaining a gun license may vary from state to state, but the basic application requirements are similar.

In Florida, three conditions must be met to apply for a CCW (Criminal Control Warrant) license.

Article 1: Applicants must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents; nonimmigrant visa holders are not eligible.

Article 2. No record of prohibited gun possession: such as no serious criminal conviction, no record of domestic violence, not being judged by the court as mentally unstable or having been forcibly hospitalized, not being subject to restraining orders, not being an illegal drug user, and so on.

As for the third requirement, proof of address in Florida is required, and it is usually necessary to have resided there continuously for at least six months.

These three conditions alone basically reject 99% of people who want to legally carry guns and cause trouble.

Only after these three conditions are met can the process of obtaining a gun license begin.

First, you need to complete a gun safety training course, which usually takes 4-8 hours. After completing the course, you will need to spend $50-$100 to get a certificate of completion.

After completing the training, you can submit your application to the Florida Department of Justice or the designated sheriff's office. The requirements for these documents are complicated, including proof of identity, proof of address, utility bills, lease agreements, and a training completion certificate.

After submitting the application, you will have to go through at least 10 days of background checks, followed by a gun possession test, payment of fees, and receiving your license, etc.

The fastest processing time is at least one month, and that's assuming everything goes smoothly and all the required documents are submitted.

After reviewing the application requirements and procedures for a CCW gun license, Irving finally put down his tablet and couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder so many illegal immigrants want to become legal citizens of the United States through various means.

Putting aside all the other benefits, just the fact that one can legally possess a CCW gun license is a significant advantage.

Once you have a CCW gun license and a security guard certificate, you can easily interview for a job similar to a security guard or bodyguard.

You can easily earn over $40 an hour. If you're lucky, you might get a chance to work at a celebrity concert or as a security guard in a wealthy area like South Beach, where you can earn at least $90 an hour. It's definitely better than washing dishes or working as a waiter.

After all, people who can obtain a CCW gun license are basically legal U.S. citizens with a stable residential address, tax returns, and ID cards.

Standard blue-collar jobs like security guards and bodyguards are not open to undocumented immigrants who have "smoked up" in the United States.

Moreover, the actual work of jobs like security guards and bodyguards differs greatly from what is portrayed in the media.

In most cases, the main task of security guards and bodyguards is to maintain appearances and provide a facade. If they encounter criminals or special circumstances, their first priority is to ensure their own safety, then call 911, and finally take care of the safety of their employers and facilities.

What? What if the employer disappears?

If it's gone, it's gone.

Kyrie Irving often sees a lot of people on social media complaining that bodyguards and security personnel are useless and a bunch of good-for-nothings.

But they don't even consider how much bodyguards and security guards are paid in total?

Even if you're a presidential bodyguard and earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, it's not worth it if you risk your life in a dangerous situation.

Besides, if you could do everything, what would be the point of the FBI and patrol officers? Wouldn't your competence make them look useless?

This is the main reason why important figures in the United States are frequently shot in the head.

Kyrie Irving was very envious of the CCW gun license and even wanted to ask James to make a fake one, but there was no way around it. Compared to other fake documents, making a fake CCW gun license was too risky.

If someone reports you or you are caught in a police check, you could face a lifetime in jail.

Just to be on the safe side, it's best to get a legal gun license yourself.

With that in mind, Irving took out his phone and texted James, asking if he knew any reliable agencies that could help him obtain a legal gun license.

James replied to the message less than 5 seconds after it was sent.

James: Dude, why do you need a legal gun license? I can just make one for you, can't I?

Irving: ...

Irving: Stop joking, man. I need to get a gun license quickly for work. Do you have any connections? If not, forget it.

James: You look down on me? Of course I know some agents in this field, but I'll probably need you to provide some documents and paperwork, and the price you'll quote will probably be quite high.

Irving: What's the specific price?

James: Wait a minute, let me ask for you.

Irving waited patiently for a while.

James' message arrived a few minutes later.

James: I just asked. A single gun license, if expedited, costs $1000, all-inclusive. You'll need to provide some necessary documentation and attend gun safety training courses, live-fire training, etc. If you buy the whole package, I can give you a discount.

$1000?!

Irving gasped.

He had considered that expediting the gun license process might be expensive, but he never imagined it would be this expensive.

After thinking for a moment, Irving asked: What is a "family bucket"? Does it include a CCW gun license?

James: Of course it's included. For the whole package, you only need to pay $1500. Not only will they help you get a legal CCW gun license, but they'll also help you get a legal security guarantee and gun purchase permit, saving you a lot of trouble.

Irving: $1500...that's a bit expensive. If I get all these documents myself, it probably won't even cost $400. You're not trying to rip me off, are you?

James: ??? You doubt me? Dude! I'm just giving you a friendly reminder! If you need it urgently, the best way is to find those intermediaries or scalpers. Yes, it would only cost you about $400 to get these documents yourself, but it would take at least a month.

James: Although I don't know why you're in such a hurry to get a CCW gun license, you'll definitely need the other security and gun purchase permits. I suggest you pay an extra $500 for the "all-in-one" package.

Looking at James's suggestion on the screen, Irving hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to buy the "Family Bucket" package.

no way.

In America, spending money is the most efficient way to achieve your goals quickly.

Anything can be expedited as long as you pay.
