Thread: How many people CCW here?

This has gotten way off topic from what I intended. As with all things that opinions are wildly opposite, emotions get fired up. Please keep this to if you carry, what, and how. Not stories of bad accidents from negligent discharges etc.

Have a CCP, and I have a Ruger GP100. It's a little big to carry around in my waistband though, and I live in central florida where its usually too hot to get away with a shoulder rig, and flip flops don't make for good ankle carry options. My daily defensive carry weapon is therefore a sizeable, fairly sharp folded blade. In florida there is no stated size limit on the books for legal carry size without a permit, and nothing about legal carry size with a permit either. So basically without a permit they can nab you if they feel like it, for even the smallest knife, if they want to. I have a friend who was on 3 years probation for giving a cop lip and having a 3 inch folder in her purse which he decided was an unlawfully concealed weapon. Nothing on the books saying I can't have a sword in my pocket either, if I can figure out a way to carry it, as long as I have a CCP. I recently upgraded to a cold steel AK-47, a gift from a friend.


I used to have a Springfield Armory micro compact GI 1911 but it was a piece of crap. Constantly failed to feed and stove piped at the range even after 1000 rounds put through it and one trip back to the manufacturer. After that thing I was happy to switch to a revolver for in home defense and just carrying a good knife. If I get into a situation where my size and a blade aren't enough I should probably be running considering I've got 6 kids and my lady to get out of harms way.

Usually I carry a very modified Ruger super Blackhawk .44mag. I carry it either concealed, or open, depending on the circumstances. But, mostly open carry. I choose a .44 because where I live the biggest threat is bears, more than bad guys.

Since my surgery, I have been carrying a .38 special snubby. Things are still a little sore... . I should be back to my regular pistol soon.
