You can borrow weapons and .22 are ok. It can be autos or revolvers. Just have a clean criminal record. No felonies or anything domestic. You fill out stuff for the class. But all you are really getting is an affidavit that you completes required class/range training. THEN you fill out ppwork from your sheriffs office, supply a passport photo and a $67.50 fee and they make a CCW ID for you. Seach the AGs site and it gives you all the info. Also your countys sheriff website will have info as well.
