Thread: How many people CCW here?

I've had a new chainsaw and a 3 ton jack carried off from my house and I do lock my door. My neighbors watched them do it in broad daylight. They thought they were friends of mine.

I've also seen screwdriver damage in the lock area on my doors. Fortunately I have steel doors.

Crime has been dropping steadily here after a certain law started to be enforced involving our southern neighbors.

Depending on the situation and whether and fortunately my age, when I was 21 I carried a model 19 four-inch barrel Smith & Wesson combat Magnum, as time went by, switched to a snubby S&W model 60, in the summer, a Walther ppk/s and in between these pistols depending on whether clothing situation and what I was up to my favorite is always been my colt combat commander, big punch, small package. From time to time. I have carried a few mouse guns such as a small Beretta 22 on North American arms in 22, and occasionally one of my favorites is my H&K P7 M8. Unfortunately, that one's hard to get holsters for which is a shame because it is one of the most accurate handguns I have ever shot. For a pistol with a four-inch barrel, at 50 feet It's like plinking with a 22 rifle. JMHO

Personally....

When ordering a Baconator at the local Wendy's at the counter I get the good fries when the handle of that 1911 is sticking out of it's shoulder holster... on top of my T-shirt.

In winter I use the drive through... it's crappy fries all around and it's not worth shooting up the place for...



It's a permit to carry... you carry... if a cop tells you to put your hands up... put your hands up.

It's not really rocket science.

The cops generally get peeved if you're carrying and flames are coming out of the end of it... if it's holstered and your hands are up they're much more understanding.

I had a CCW permit for about 15 years or so now, I carry, [In Ohio and WV] a Ruger SP-101 2'' plus length, with the right ammo it will do the job, God forbid, Just nice to know that if It's me or those I love, against someone with the moral compass of a Taz/Devil, it will be them. But if that situation never comes up I'll be every happier.

tinkersd of SRP, NRA and Proud!!

When I am in the US I carry a Kel-Tec P-3AT in my right front pocket. In Canada I have my hand in my right front pocket... sigh

CPL in michigan. Ruger compact 9mm. 17+1 with two mags.

I have four guns for ccw and you'll never know where it is on me.So just be nice,ok!

I wish all the states would get together and iron out their differences. I recently traveled to WV. I had no problems in the airport in Texas or VA, but TX CCW isn't recognized in WV because they only require a 3 hour class. TX is all day. While I'm there I have WV residents telling me that they _never_ go out at night unarmed.

It's a hassle checking out gun laws when traveling. I feel nakid without my gun. I'm glad I can carry in OK. I fire off a couple of warning shots as I cross the border.

You're probably right. I am thinking of buying a long bow though, just 'cause. I've got a paddock to the rear of my backyard, and no neighbours. I plan on getting three large round hay bales as a backdrop.

I don't yet, but I will in 2 years or so when I turn 21.

when I do, I will carry a revolver in .357 or more than likely some variation on a 1911.

My choices so far are a double action .357 by Ruger or a Wilson Combat 1911
