Dear Bullitt,

I can't help you with a specific letter but the links below should help you. You might also ask around your club/range/neighborhood gun store for someone who has applied for a permit and may have a copy of a letter you can look at. Good luck! Gary

Something like:

Dear Local Chief of Police,

I would like to recommend Bulitt5172 for a Concealed Carry license. As far as I know, he hasn't shot himself or done anything else stupid with a firearm for the last 10 days.

Sincerely,

(Seriously, if you have a requirement for a "Recommendation Letter" you need to check with the powers to be in your locality to see what they require. No such requirement in my state.)

Well, when my friend, karate buddy and shooting student needed a letter back when Utah required one I gave her this (along with a real one).

** March 20**
State of Utah
Bureau of Criminal Identification


Gentlemen,

This is a letter of reference for Mary M*****. I have known Mary for several years and have observed her to be a woman of sound character and judgement at least when she is sober. Despite the fact that she is a trained killer and mean as a snake I don’t feel that she would pose a significant public menace unless seriously provoked. Having trained Mary in her NRA Basic Pistol class and for her Utah Concealed Handgun License and surviving the ordeal, I can attest to her knowledge of firearms safety and her desire to seek additional training to become a more proficient killer. All in all, I believe her to be far less of a threat to the social order and general public than other routinely accepted hazards such as 16 year old drivers, women voters and democrats in general. I therefore recommend Mary M***** for a Concealed Weapons Permit without any serious reservations.

Sincerely,

M. G. B***
