Yes. Pretty much every state requires the same process. Pistol safety course, paperwork, waiting, more waiting and more waiting.

My friend has been waiting several months for his paperwork to come back. Don't delay.
Can the spouse of a 100 percent disabled veteran who gets compensation work?
As far as I know, there is a strict limit as to how much money you can earn and still receive 100 percent disability. I have heard that even working a part time job could put you over the limit. This goes for anyone rated 100 percent or anyone at 60 percent or higher who has been classified as "unemployable."

What is the name of the flower that is closely associated with veterans?
In 1915 Moina Michael was inspired by a poem written by Canadian physician Lieutenant Colonel John McCrea titled In Flanders Fields. McCrea was a doctor during World War I. It is a poem about a very deadly battle during that war that was in Ypres salient where he treated wounded and dying soldiers for seventeen days straight.
When he was writing that poem near the location of the battle he could see poppies springing up from the ground and the first and last lines of the poem mention poppies. Ms. Michael was touched by the poem and conceived of the idea of associating red poppies with Memorial Day. She chose red to symbolize the blood that is spilled during war. She started a campaign to have people wear red poppies on Memorial Day as a symbol of respect. Since then poppies have come to be associated with both Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
Can a non veteran render a hand salute?
The hand salute is a sign of respect given with the right hand to show no weapon held against the one you are saluting. As such, it could be rendered by anyone, military or not, as a sign of respect.
When standing for the passing of the colors or the playing of the National Anthem, however, one's right hand should rest upon the area of the heart as a similar tribute.
Recently, the U.S. Congress passed a law allowing veterans to render a salute for the national anthem or passing of colors rather than hand-over-heart at their option.
