You can not control stupid !
I always try to look at each sides perspective of a given issue and what I find is a lack of empathy in every case. I understand why some feel it is best to control guns however, like all other controls/laws the root of the problem is never addressed. This is evident in places that do have strict gun laws. Our society seems to think that curing symptoms is the way to go about everything. Ignoring the the cause of the problem. I would agree that this world would be a wonderful place without gun violence but let's face it, utopia is a very difficult goal to achieve. If you are afraid of harm then your best course of action is to have the capability to defend yourself and/or stay out of harms way. This is a basic human right. Relying on others is certainly no answer for me. There are people who should not be allowed to own dogs , but what are you going to do ? Tell me I can not have a dog because your neighbor lets his ferocious pit bull run free? I can give you a long list with you tube links and news clippings of why some people should not own guns. But I can not think of 1 reason I should not have a gun. I can not think of 1 reason you should fear me UNLESS you plan on doing me or my loved ones harm. There are bad things in this world but you can not punish good folks in your solution to a problem. Your just creating more problems than you already have. Even without guns people will find a way to hurt you. Those people are what you should focus your solutions on. I do not CCW and I walk thru this world with no fear of those that do. If I knowingly go somewhere that I think I may need a gun to even the odds of protecting myself I do. I do not need a permit to actually do that and realize that if I am caught I may be arrested and fined. If I do something stupid like get hostile with an officer of the law in any way, and say I get shot. Do you think I deserve it ? If I do something stupid I know there will be consequences. We unwittingly give up freedoms in the effort to control stupid. If you take away stupid's gun he will use a knife, make a bomb, or any other means of inflicting his will against you. Why do you want to take away my right to defend myself against stupid ? If I was to CCW and, I feel anybody that does, should be properly trained and tested. I will say that it may be to easy to get these permits. I am not sure about that. I would favor a law insuring that, over just obliterating someone's right to have one. Does this not make sense? Is that approach more favorable to the majority ? I would favor any law that prevents stupid as long as it didn't take away any of regular Joe's rights. It is my feeling, that is what this country is all about and what others in this world envy about us most. The world is getting more and more senseless and it doesn't have to be that way.
How many people CCW here?
Everyday.
Glock 19 carried at 1 o'clock and a fixed blade carried at 11 o'clock.

How do you carry a full frame glock digging into the right side of your junk and a fixed blade digging into the left when you sit down? Not trying to be rude but this seems to be the most awkward ccw set up I have ever heard anyone claim to use.....:shrug: I have a very hard time thinking you actually carry much less every day. Sorry but I need pictues to see how you could pull this off.
AIWB. Appendix in the waistband.
Aka Mexican carry.
I use a remora no clip holster, tucked in my shorts and wear dockers with a dress shirt tucked in.
ETA: I'll provide a pic when I get home.

I often hear from the ladies, " Are you just happy to see me or is that a full size 1911 I see?" :nj
Mine retracts like a tape measure so I just keep it reeled in if I'm carrying.
;)
Seriously, the barrel rides right next to everything in the hollow between the pelvis and thigh when you're sitting down.

I leave the house with an American Mastiff. Haven't gotten my CCW yet, but my plan to soon. In the meantime, can't think of a better, more loyal deterrent/protector for my wife and kids than our lovable gentle giant. Attachment 113793

The only weapon that is carried cross draw and very rare occasions is the S&W snub airweight 360. But with that I can count on one hand the times I do that over the course of the year. I don't see the advantage of 11 and 1 o'clock carry over 4-5 oclock in a crossbreed holster style. I've tried them all in civillian and combat carry.
You sir will LOVE IT!!!! I expect updates once it comes in!!!!

I don't carry anything cross draw.
I'm a lefty that was raised to shoot righty.
I feel much more in control with the gun in my right hand and knife in the left hand.
Comfort? I'm either behind a desk or on the road, at work. Never even know its there. I can bend over at the waist and pull weeds out of the flower bed and not even have to readjust it.
Where it might be different for us is that I wear the waist of my pants at the top of my hip/femur socket versus some that wear them higher because I sport noass and a Dunlap gut.
