Unless your violent crime rates were significantly lower than ours or Canada's, your gun ownership does nothing for public safety.

Granted, this is only homicide, but still.
Belgium scores much better than the US, and CCW does not exist here for regular civilians. In fact, gun ownership is strongly discouraged. It is a hassle to get all the paperwork done, a hassle to recertify annually, and if you use it against anyone not directly threatening you with deadly violence, you're in a heap of trouble.

And yet we fail to be overrun by violent criminals.

I am not arguing for or against gun ownership btw, but what gun ownership does for a society is much more complex than what you imply it to be, and the results are not straightforward as is shown by e.g. the difference in murder rates.

so what guns do you carry bruno? what is your CCW??

Please keep this on topic...

The laws do suck and I'm sorry for it in canada. I remember a time hunting and carrying there without problem.

OK. Back on topic. I have read this thread and was not going to reply at all, but to help get it back where it should go:

I almost always carry and do so concealed and I have for many years and what I carry does depend on what I am wearing.

If my shirt tail is out, I am wearing a jacket or something to cover my side I prefer my Kimber Pro Crimson Carry II in a Fobus paddle holster. That holster is very comfortable and keeps that 1911 very close to my side. If I need something smaller to fit into my pocket say in my insulated vest I will carry a Beretta 21A in 22 LR. And, sometimes I will still carry my ever faithful .38 snubnose in an iwb holster and this one was my primary carry for a long time. I don't really like iwb holsters any more since I had a few inches of colon taken out a few years ago. They just aren't comfortable to me anymore. Nowadays that .38 resides in my car console while I am on the road and it's twin resides with SWMBO!! Now we know one more reason why she MBO! Just kidding she is a real sweetheart, I just couldn't resist.

Does anyone have any experience with a Kimber Ultra CDP II? About to "pull the trigger" on one, but wanted to check here with my buds last minute...planning on a Christmas present to myself. Reviews rave about them. I've handled a "ultra", but not a CPD. Just hoping for someone to chime in...

It's all about options and versatility. "Concealed" can mean on your person or in a vehicle, and the fun part is that there's no limit to how many you can have concealed at any given time... So, here's a Kimber Ultra Cover II .45 ACP in a Crossbreed, a belt slide and another IWB, Also an FEG PMK .380 and a Kel-Tec P3AT .380 for backups. Then there's a Ruger P89DC 9mm, a S&W 686 .357 with Crimson Trace Lasergrips and a Taurus .44 Magnum. Some agree and some don't, but either way, I will win in the end.

Fantastic weapon. carries well and accurate. YMMV but the only PIA with a kimber is the take down pin on some of them. I am not sure if the ultra cdp has that or not but it would never stop me from buying one.

Forgot that I added the Ruger LCP with a crimson trace laser a few months ago. Love it! Had an initial issue on first magazine but none since. 102gr hollow points and it is a excellent second carry back up. Plus i found 10 round mags for it!!

Also bought a few crossbreed style holsters off ebay for glock 26 and the 1911 style 45's. if you haven't tried these you are missing out. Give them a shot, if you don't like em, I'll buy em off ya! Fixin to get one for my FNP 45!

I'm about one benjamin short right now, but should be ok as soon as I move my Judge

Yeah, a HUGE +1 for Crossbreed holsters! IMAGINE CARRYING WHAT YOU REALLY LIKE TO SHOOT, and doing it comfortably and effectively, with the fastest presentation possible! Turned my .45 into an EDC. The mouse guns are backups now.
