I hace read in some of the forums that some members have a concealed carry permit for some States. Does anyone know what states we can get this permit for and how to apply?

They have tons of reference material on what to submit with your application
Getting a Maine permit enables you to apply for New Hampshire, I think these 2 together open up a quite a few states you can carry in vis a vie reciprocity agreements.

Thanks Onagoth I'll get started right away. It would be nice to get a carry permit in all the states on the way south to and including Florida. That would make me and the wife feel a lot more secure. Actually instead of starting right away I'll wait and see how you get on.

I've got both the Maine and NH CCW permits. Straight forward and simple.

You'll need to send in Criminal Record Check (get it from local RCMP); Driver's Abstract and money order bought from US PO for Maine's... They woudn't accept MO from Canadian source even if it's in US$.
There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of the law.

I didn't send in a criminal record check. I'm pretty sure the US will do their own check. What I did do though, was walk into the local RCMP detachment and ask them to fingerprint me. That raised a few eyebrows I'll tell you.:D They didn't want to do it unless I told what it was for. When I told them is was for a CCW permit they said "What the hell do you need with one of those?!?!" I said "because I can't carry a gun in the States without one!!" Duh!! After a few minutes of scratching their heads they finally relented and fingerprinted me. I sent the prints along with a drivers abstract, birth certificate, the forms Maine wants you to fill out, and of course a money order. The money order was drawn from a Canadian bank in US funds. Three months later to the day I had the permit in my hands. I photocopied my Maine permit and sent it along with some more money and the NH forms and a few weeks later received my NH permit. Dead easy.
