Who totes ?

[HotGuns]

How many of you here tote?

By that, I mean carry a concealed weapon?

Legal like with a permit...

[AlPackin]

I always carry my P3AT

[GLOCKENNBOOMER]

I always do, either a S&W 642 w/ CTC laser grips in my pocket, or a Glock 36 in a Comp-Tac "CTAC" holster, mainly...anything else everyonce in awhile.

[freakshow10mm]

Been licensed since 9-29-2005. I mix open carry and concealed carry.

[Longbow]

My G-30 is my best friend, She is always at my side when ever I may need her.

[lcarreau]

I have been licensed since the fall of '03. Sometimes, I even carry...God forbid...**RELOADS**.

-Lonnie

[killarbb]

jframe, k9, 1911, oh and the p3at.......most generally have one of them with me

[MakeMineaP99]

Been licensed by the state of IN to carry since I was 18. I carry a 2nd Gen G17 with 3 mags and 52 rounds of RA9TA, every day.

If I have pants on, I have a firearm on me.

[sparky241]

I conceal carry a glock 21sf or 26 all the time. I never really understood open carry,it lets everyone know you are packing. If you are in say a stop and rob, and a robber walks in, when he sees that gun on your side guess what,you just gave him his next gun, Or you have to deal with the mind numbing "OMG he has a gun" crowd. Open carry is legal here in Indiana but i'll stick with conceal carry.

[WalterGA]

Carry just about every day. Encourage my progeny to carry. Too many uncivilized savages amongst us, witness, the murders @ Auburn and UNC.

[RustyFN]

I just got my lisence the end of last year. I have carried since but not every day. When I have carried it was a G17. But then it's winter and that's easy now. I'm not sure what I'm going to carry in the summer.
Rusty

[Tack]

I always carry my


P32

[HiddenEyes]

Always carry a G21 or G23. Mostly the G21.

Never carry reloads unless hunting with the rifles. Of course those are not really reloads since the components are all new.


Mr. HE:cool:

[Anvil]

I don't have a permit, just HR218 so I'm good for my duty gun and my back up. I'm thinking of getting my permit just so I can carry .357 mag.

[Nature Boy]

Allways carry the 642 S&W or the Glk 27 in the summer and fall. In the winter no telling what is in the Carhart and sometimes it even surprises me. If it is a large caliber revolver it means I drank a lot or wine the night before. I do know that much.

[HiddenEyes]

Does HR218 limit what you can carry?

I almost always carry my duty gun so I never worried about it. But I do seem to recall reading an interpretation by the AG of a state that said basically LE could carry whatever they wanted. I was looking into if CA would let me carry the standard capacity mags under HR218. They seem to think that you can't, ten round limit.

Mr. HE:cool:

[glock27mark]

been carrying my g-27 for almost 2 yrs. now. (cpl)

Mr. HE:cool:

Yeah, it limits that what you carry has to be alike to what you qualified with. I guess you could make the case that a revolver is similar enough to a DAO semi in that the grip, trigger, sights and power of cartridge is similar but since we have an authorized .38 backup I just carry it or my duty gun. There really isn't much out there that I'm gonna face that needs any more than one or two .38's to be very honest.

I just don't think for a second a thug is gonna take two .38's to the chest and say, "Oh, Thats only a .38 +P and you've only got 3 more shots!".

The times I've needed it the strangest thing happens! (about 4 times) I reach in my pocket and get a grip (I keep it in a pocket holster) and without pulling it out the offender disengages like he can see it through my pocket.

I don't get accosted alot, I just don't trust cracked out beggars.:leaving:

[MakeMineaP99]

[Kastiron]

Yup. 642 more than not. Once in a while, I step up to the G22 though.

[Steve Koski]

G35 or P3AT.

[BigSlick]

Twin Lightweight Commanders in Milt Sparks SSII's or CompTac Minotaurs, depending upon whether or not I need a tuckable.

Stoked with handloads

Sometimes, just da G23 wit a VM II wit handloads.

It's all good.

I feel naked witout my carry pieces.

One way or another I got a piece on me 24/7/365 just outta habit.

Got my license to carry back in '93 an carried every day since except when I was traveling or in a spot for work where my CCW wasn't reciprocal or legal. I went about 1½ years during dat time witout carryin because I let my license expire an had ta take da class all over again an get it renewed.

[rangeruger]

S&W 340SC is always in my pocket except when I am at work. Light, reliable and easy to conceal. Just fits nicely in the pocket.

[WalterGA]

I just don't think for a second a thug is gonna take two .38's to the chest and say, "Oh, Thats only a .38 +P and you've only got 3 more shots!".

PLEASE don't take this as pompous, but what happens if you flush a covey of DemocRATs? You still going to be satisfied with that five-rounder? (Or is it 6?) :) I'll take my chances with my little 11-round G26, with a 15-rd. G19 mag as a backup. :)

My knowledge of the behavior of uncivilized savages is that they're a lot more prone to run in coveys, as opposed to attacking singularly.

[Jerry Snyder]

Yep,,,,,
I alternate what to carry.....

Getting that tenth round in the G26 mag sure does take some muscle.

[WalterGA]

Getting that tenth round in the G26 mag sure does take some muscle.

I've never had any trouble getting the 10th round loaded into a G26 mag.

I've never had any trouble getting the 10th round loaded into a G26 mag.

Those thumb exercise must be working for you then.

[Mogollon]

2pieces: a Keltec P-32, and a 4" Springfield Armory XD in 45ACP and an extra mag.
At home, an M1-A1 carbine, at work a MAS 49/56-gotta be able to stop a truck if need be:blues:

[Trailbate]

G20 carried IWB most of the time, J-frame when it's too hot. Nevertheless there is always something on me unless there is one of those 'no guns' signs... I hate those

[WalterGA]

I have had some trouble with Klintonista G21 mags and with G30 mags, but never with any of my 9mm mags.

[lcarreau]

I have had some trouble with Klintonista G21 mags and with G30 mags, but never with any of my 9mm mags.

Mr. HE:cool:

I read that too. CA penal code stated that a LEO can import a hi-cap mag. The problem is that a visiting LEO from another state is not a LEO in CA unless he's on official business. So if you're on vacation, you should carry 10-rounders. But I would not worry about mags. My experience with local DAs is that they love cops no matter where they come from.

[DssG19]

S&W 642 in a pocket holster, or a G26 in a galco iwb deep cover holster. Both carry very well. I don't like to print through my shirt.

[AFPD 118]

G27 is my daily carry, but may soon be replaced with a G30SF

[Con43]

Alternate between G19/G23 in a MTAC and 44 Bulldog in Bianchi clip.

[Rugerman13]

I carry a Ruger P-90 or a Glock 23 in the winter. I'm not as excited about the P-90 because double/triple tapping with it is a pain. In the summer it's the Glock 23 or a Ruger SP-101 snubby nicely concealed with an inside thew pants holster. Problem is I am getting that middle aged belly fat and the SP doesn't fit so nice lol I plan to add a Glock 30 or 36 with a tac light to the firearms portfolio and will probably solicit tac light opinions in a post somewhere on this board.

[glock27mark]

I've never had any trouble getting the 10th round loaded into a G26 mag.

use'd to have the same trouble with #9 on my g-27
but over time it got easier.

[gokyo]

I carry either my Kahr P9

or I carry my Walther P99

I would kind like to get the glock 29 but i am not sure I am enough of man for that weapon.

I can not carry at work (teacher) and if I printed in public and the wrong people saw it could be bad. However evertime I leave the house and am not going to work I pack. I almost always carry in a over the shoulder purse like bag (the only thing that is in the bag is the weapon). The draw is slower than from my belt scabbard. However I train with it and it is the best I can do in my situation.

[mbradst]

I would carry 24/7 except I can't at work or school. I also can't carry anywhere else our stupid laws prohibit.

[ept000]

I carry my G19 every day. I have two G19's on my permit, amd even my daughter's Ruger MKIII, just in case. Currently looking for a 38 snub nose for pocket carry.

[stumpjumper]

Have had a concealed permit since 1976. I carry a G27 ,G30, or a Bersa 380cc depending on the circumstances.

[SnooseGoose]

I carry every single clothed waking minute. Either a S&W mdl 36 in a pocket holster, or G32 OWB depending on the plans for the day.

SG.

[coltc]

I carry, everywhere and everytime I'm legally allowed to do so. Usually a G26, G19, p3at, or G30. One of those is my normal carry.

[Rugby]

G19 and S&W 442. All day, everyday.

[Blackdog]

G36 or Kahr PM9.

[nitesite]

I've had an AL pistol permit since about 1995.

Sometimes pocket carry a 442.

Usually carry a G29. Actually, it's a daily CCW sidearm.

On car trips when my attire allows, a G34 or maybe even a 4" Highway Patrolman.

And when I think of it, I sometimes carry a 5" Gubmint 1911 cuz' the gunrags love a 1911 above all other sidearms. At one time I worried about remembering about the manual safety when carrying one, because my muscle memory is really more accustomed to DA revolvers and Glocks. But I've shot 1911s for thirty years and the minute my hand wraps around one I just know what's in my grip.

I reload for all of them, and shoot enough so that I'm very familiar with the nuances of each and every one.

[Frost]

If I am wearing pants I have a P3-AT in my pocket.

[brahmabull8413]

Sig 229 in a Kramer #3 on a Beltman belt. Spare mag and Surefire 6P in a Mitch Rosen SOS carrier.

[slowride]

G19, in Galco concealable, on a belt by Beltman.

[JLarsson]

If I am wearing pants I have a P3-AT in my pocket.

Awwww.....I was SURE you were just happy to see.....somebody. :toetap05:

Anyway, I go G23 or G21. I used to carry a Firestar 45, but for not much bigger and actually less weight, I get 13 rounds of 10mm short vs. 6 rounds of .45 ACP. And I'm a big enough guy that the G21 isn't a challenge.

I still haven't found my favorite holster for either one yet. Right now I've got Fobus paddle holsters. They're good for what they do. I tried the Fobus IWB holster for the G23 and HATED it.

Open to suggestions.....:coolgleamA:

[Jammer Six]

The times I've needed it the strangest thing happens! (about 4 times) I reach in my pocket and get a grip (I keep it in a pocket holster) and without pulling it out the offender disengages like he can see it through my pocket.
If you've felt you "needed" a gun four times, you're not qualified to be my friend.

[chewy]

Been Lic. to carry since Jan 2006. Usually carry my G-27 in the summer, especially while runnin' my miles, or my G-19. I just traded a old' bolty I ain't shot in a decade for a new OD G-23 and I really dig it lots. I usually carry them with a Clip Draw and them safty-blok thingies. Works good fer me, takes lass than half a sec. to pop that little basterd out. Oh, when I run I carry what ever in the plain jane basic plastic Glock holster cuz it's thin, light, and ride high and tight (just like my ex-wife use to be on "date nights.") .

[Bogey]

My G30 is my carry piece. It live in a Sidearmor IWB holster. I also carry a P3aT as a bug.

Every now and then, I'll change up and tote the 21.

[Frost]

Glad to see someone huh?:animlol:
Consider me as having made rude comments regarding size of "stuff" vs the size of a P3-AT.:prrr:

The Kel-Tec get carried so much I don't even think of it as a weapon any more. It's just pocket stuff like the 4" Cold Steel Voyager it shares a pocket with. If I going someplace actually dangerous like the local movie theater I will carry a real pistol, generally a Glock. Which one depends on the day of the week and which direction the wind is blowing. Shoulder holster fits the 23, 27, or the 17. Have never carried the 17 if I am going to carry a full sized pistol it will be a 20 or maybe the 21.:coolgleamA:

[HotGuns]

I see lots of people here tote.

That tells me three things...

one is..
that people here do have an inkling of a clue..

and two is...
the world is getting crazier by the day.

three...
there probably arent many Democrats here...:rofl:

Then dang Ritis brothers Arthur and Burr keep me from running or throwing down like you young guys.

If I can't talk my way out of it then the I will just have to show them the error of their ways.

Do any of remember Bernard Getz?
Do you know what mistake he made?

[HotGuns]

Do any of remember Bernard Getz?

I do. He made two mistakes.

1.He "fessed" up
2. He did'nt KILL all of the SOB's.

Shoulda kept his mouth shut.

I'm getting tired of this...

Before you geniuses started talking to everyone and his brother, I hadn't hurt anyone in like thirty years.

[JLarsson]

Jammer, you're a hoot. You and BushPilot ought to put an act together. Notice I didn't say, "...ought to GET your act together." :rofl:

Bernard Goetz - NYC, as I recall - accosted in the subway and shot several of his accosters.

Oh, all right - here's an article from a website called "heroism.org"

BERNARD GOETZ

On December 22, 1984, Bernard Goetz, otherwise known as the "subway vigilante," shot four young men in a Manhattan subway car after he said the men threatened him and tried to rob him.
The shooting became a national sensation, as many subway riders, concerned about subway muggings, applauded Goetz's actions. But others criticized Goetz as a racist because the four young men were African-American.
Three years after the shooting, Goetz, a 39-year-old electronics specialist, was acquitted of attempted murder and assault, but was convicted of criminal possession of an unlicensed weapon and spent 250 days in jail.
Goetz said he started firing because he thought the four men were about to rob him. Many suspected however, that Goetz acted as an "avenging angel" because he had been mugged twice before. The youths said they were panhandling money to play video games when they asked him for $5, not trying to rob him.
One of the four men, Darrell Cabey, was paralyzed in the shooting. In reaction to a $50 million lawauit filed by Cabey's familiy, Goetz said in a December 20, 1994 Toronto Star article, "If you're injured, paralyzed or whatever while committing a violent crime against me, that's not my fault."
After the verdict, Goetz' lawyer Barry Slotnick said, "I think the true message is that people have a right to protect and defend themselves under justifiable situations." Goetz said he wants to "go back to being an anonymous stranger in New York," said Slotnick in a June 17, 1987 Toronto Star article.
Supporters and critics argued outside the courthouse immediately after the verdict. Anti-Goetz demonstrators chased his car, shouting, "Goetz is an oppressor, murder no more." Another man carried a sign, "Criminals, think twice or we will Goetz you."

[mbradst]

Bernie Goetz is the "subway vigilante". He shot four dudes that were trying to rob him in a subway car in NYC, 1984. The mistakes he made were that he didn't kill the bastards, he spoke to the police before his lawyers, and he spoke with the press.

JLarsson beat me to the punch. I went to the bathroom in the middle of my post and he already put his in.

[mbradst]

BTW, all of the criminals Bernie shot lived.

[Jammer Six]

Not a very good shot.

More time at the range, more ammo.

[rico567]

Packing in IL......I keep a pointed stick in my pocket.

[copdills]

Never Leave Home without one:bigun2:

[cvfl]

Had CWP in Florida from 1992-2004. Wife and I are CHL holders in TX. Me with G26, her with M&P9c. Hoping we can open carry at some point...

[Warhorse]

Work does not permit me to carry, other than that, most all the time.

[nwsalmon]

I carry my G26 daily....I wouldn't leave home without it. (CPL)

[Steel Talon]

Right now its either one of these, depending on wardrobe etc.

XD-45compact
P-64 9x18 mil surp. pocket carry is perfect with dockers

Peace
Steel Talon:coolgleamA:

[saunderscc]

I carry my G26 daily....I wouldn't leave home without it. (CPL)

Same here with my G26. I carry in either a Galco Ankle Glove or an M-TAC. Just depends on how I am feeling. I may have to get a body for the M-TAC for my new 21SF with standard rail and mag release. :supergrin:

[KpaxFAQ]

I have carried everyday since I turned 21 and got my permit 3 days later. I love PA! :sifone:

[thorn]

I am rarely in a place I can legally carry. My workplace forbids it, and most places I eat serve alcohol (in Ohio, that's a no-carry zone).

As much as i hate the laws and the policies, I won't risk being caught and charged with illegally concealing a weapon. My criminal record is completely blank, and I want it to stay that way.

thorn

[Helms]

I carry my taurus M85 .38 on me pretty frequently, but I leave it at home when I go to college or work (prohibited both places) if I am just going out around town, or out to eat or something I carry it (or I know I will be in a bad area).

Unless I go to ohio :(

[ustate]

I carry my 36 with me everywhere I go.

[hugginsvilleH&A]

g36 and/or xd45 ,,,never leave home with out them

[Triggerpresser]

Whenever and wherever it's legal.

[swingpress]

Always a revolver, most often a snub; unless in a place where it's illegal. I make a point of avoiding those.

[garymolly1]

I always carry. A G19 in cool weather and a G26 or S&W 642 in warm weather.

[ASH]

I have been carrying now for about ten years. I carry my S&W model 37 .38 snub alot here in Fl in the summer with a pocket holster. In the winter I usually upgrade to my Glock 23 in an inside the waist holster. Be safe yall!

[Glooooock]

I carry my G24 long slide , in the waist ban . I only do this when I go to the ATM at 3 - 6 AM or open the hanger at work on Saturdays by myself ( when they upgrade the colors on the terrorist threat ) . Once a few guys show up I lock it away.

[ronterry]

Dan Wesson commander bobtail in 10mm. Belly band or black widow holster.
In the winter, a G20 with a shoulder rig.

[GThirtynine]

Anywhere else, I am armed with a 3" or less non assisted opening pocket knife. MS-13 fears me.

[soundwave]

Why haven't you moved back to GA yet?

Good job and friends are all that's keeping me here really. If those fall through, I'm outta here.

[45auto]

I always have my P32, and I carry my 1911 when ever I can.


It's a law you must like 1911s if you live in Utah; God bless J.M.B. :patriot:

[45auto]

If I am wearing pants I have a P3-AT in my pocket.
I don't need pants to have my P-32.








or underwear...
I that clip thingy sure can leave a red mark!

:biggrinjester:

[mdg132]

Every day G30 and G26 never leave home with out them.

[45auto]

I switched to a G30 recently, and a Keltec PF9 for deap concealment, backed up with the trusty P32 for pocket carry. :)

[zipper046]

When I work security jobs...always carry, unless the job is in a state I am not licensed in. Then I have alternate weapons I carry.

Going to my normal day job...I don't carry into the office. On weekends, depending on where I am going, I carry.

z-

[GZZA]

G30, everyday everywhere I go except when I go to work I lock it in my car.

[45auto]

G30, everyday everywhere I go except when I go to work I lock it in my car.


I don't want to preach, but I got my truck broken into at work and I lost a gun, luckly it was a cheap keltec P11 but if you don't have a lock box get one. :zoo_taz:

I got broken into a second time I assume the thief hoping I got another gun in my truck, he did see the lock box and attempted to take it.

What really sucks is each time the asshole breaks into my truck he damages the body and breaks my door handle... :hereyago:

at my work a few people have had their catalytic converter stolen in a full parking lot and during the day... The security staff is useless.

I work the third shift and the thief that keeps targeting my truck is now armed... I won't say what I do with my firearm but I don't stash it in my truck anymore.

[BoltNut]

Got my permit the same year they opened the floodgates in Florida for the general public! The same guy is still teaching the course at the gun shows down here today - LOL... nearly the same speech! :patriot:

If I'm hot and lightly dressed = .25 auto or SP101
I'f I'm able to "dress up" a little (especially a jacket) = .40 Glock 23 or Ruger P89 :punk:

[glockess]

I usually carry my 638 with Crimson Trace added.

[MakeMineaP99]

.25 auto

.25 Auto? AJ, you need to whip this character into shape.

[BoltNut]

Trust me, I'll replace it with a Ruger LCP when they finish working out all the kinks... until then, I need something that goes in the pocket of jeans and shorts in 100 degree weather! :yuk:

[MakeMineaP99]

I carried my G17 when I was down in FL, you just need to put some pounds on (life size as I say).

[BoltNut]

If I'd lose about 25 pounds, then maybe I'd do better carrying oher irons... but the convenience of sticking that .25 in the back pocket and going out is unreal!!! I'd rather carry SOMETHING then nothing at all, which is how I roll when it is too hot or bothersome to figure out a way to carry the bigger stuff. If I was a hip black man like Creophus, I'd have more clothing options that carrying the big stuff provides! :yesnod:

[creophus]

Trust me, I'll replace it with a Ruger LCP when they finish working out all the kinks... until then, I need something that goes in the pocket of jeans and shorts in 100 degree weather! :yuk:Go with the KelTec P3AT. It's available now, cheaper and won't shoot you in the head if you drop it.

If I was a hip black man like Creophus, I'd have more clothing options that carrying the big stuff provides! :yesnod:Just untuck your shirt bro. It also helps to be wearing the gun when you go to buy new clothes. It took me a while to realize that if I try on the clothes with the wallet, keys, cell phone and gun on, I'll get a better fit. Also pants that are a little longer would hide that SP real well on the ankle.

Oh yeah, and skip that skin tight superman blue shirt from the game!!! You can't conceal nothing under that!!!:animlol:

[creophus]

.25 Auto? AJ, you need to whip this character into shape.
How? He's the one that got me into shooting!!!

[45auto]

I saw a cute little .25 for sale at a local gun store that is just like the first gun I ever shot... Brings back fond memories.
I may go back and pick up the cheap little pos... :)

[MONTEGOD7SS]

I got some Italian .25 job that is pretty fun in all its chromed goodness. Was left to me by my stepdad when he died so I won't ever get rid of it, but it dang sure ain't gonna sit around and not get shot. So far I've done pretty good shooting it and in a SD situation I feel a headshot would stop the altercation pretty quickly.

[MakeMineaP99]

How? He's the one that got me into shooting!!!

You know me, bigger is better.

[BoltNut]

I like the "head shot" argument! :yesnod: I'm actually really accurate with the stupid thing, and if .25 auto wasn't as expensive as gold, I'd shoot it ALL THE TIME just for good measure. I try to shoot it about every 3rd or 4th time to the range, just so I can say I'm comfortable in a moment's notice if I ever pulled it. Imagine 7 angry hornets stinging you at the same time... I'd likely be able to run away at a bare minimum!!! :slick:

[MakeMineaP99]

I'll stick to a J frame .38.

.25 Auto is freakin' expensive. Time to start reloading.

[BoltNut]

I'm about to start, but I've not heard of ANYONE actually reloading that bullet yet.

[MakeMineaP99]

Ask Koski about it, he's got a 1050 set up for .25 Auto.

[BoltNut]

I'm all ears! :yesnod:

[creophus]

Ask Koski about it, he's got a 1050 set up for .25 Auto.Say it ain't so Koski!!!

[Glock G20]

never leave home without it. most the time it's the G19, but do switch to the cataclysmic 10mm when in certain area's (such as the east side) or the 21SF in the south. all run DT's for carry ammo

[Gashira]

Been licensed for a few years now. Either a G30 or a Taurus 85UL. Used to carry a G36 but had too many FTF/FTE issues.

[tnpatriot]

I was toten before toten was cool :gun2: cause I'm a Tennessee redneck and that's just what we do :yesnod:

[gokyo]

Mostly my Kahr P9
or my Walther P99

Though I really like to carry my FNH High power. However I am not perfectly comfortable with the safety yet.

I pretty much always have 2 extra mags with me too.

[CZ93X62]

I've been hauling around some kind of retroactive birth control device for over 30 years. Legally, too. Anyone in CA who doesn't carry is asking to be a victim. I ignored several hundred PPKs, Chief Specials, DetSpecs, and other assorted armament carried by tax-paying law-abiding God-fearing child-raising decent folks that I worked for, and made a point of recommending good ammunition at the times I located the pistols. I'll be G-- d---ed if I'd EVER arrest a good citizen for carrying the means to defend him- or herself from the attackers I couldn't keep off of them.

[Big Wes]

Yes since 1972 :2gunsfiring_v1:

[Steviewonder1]

Since the CCW went thru, at least 20+ years. Before that I had a wallet of Blue cards, one for each gun. Only problem is don't get caught with one at work (HR takes a dim view of employees that can defend themselves in the office), and I carry in my vehicle in the paking lot, we don't have any of those stupid laws in Georgia. We also updated our Castle Doctrine to in Public you do not have to flee someone trying to do hard to you. We also can now carry on public transit, eventhough I don't and won't use it. Too many target opportunities. Have just switched over to the new DPX type of Ammo from Hydro's. After another 1500 rounds on my new G35, it will go into rotation with my other two that I use depending on what I am wearing and where I am going. Yes some things work better than others when you are wearing a Tux or Jeans and a Pullover shirt.

[Werdna]

I've been totin my G19 since last october, finally got my CHL. I carry 124gr gold dots, always went bang at the range so I stuck with them.

[MONTEGOD7SS]

1500 rounds of DPX??? :yikes:

Wish I had that kinda money, cuz I'd have about 10k rounds of homemade Gold Dots.

[Steviewonder1]

Not DPX, I keep that on the Gold Shelf, these are reloads to insure reliability. Until I run a good 2500 rounds thru a gun, I do not carry it for Personal Protection. Wish I had 2500 rounds of DPX, I could be an Ammo Store.

[creophus]

What you're doing makes sense Stevie. I too was wondering about the 1500 rounds of DPX.

[MONTEGOD7SS]

Not DPX, I keep that on the Gold Shelf, these are reloads to insure reliability. Until I run a good 2500 rounds thru a gun, I do not carry it for Personal Protection. Wish I had 2500 rounds of DPX, I could be an Ammo Store.

Whew. I was going to either ask you for a loan or an adoption.

[gutterratt]

I carry when I feel the need and I always carry when I'm on the harley

[ISUSteve]

Missed this tread a long time ago.

I now tote.

[MCK45ACP]

Guess I missed it too. I've had my permit since 84. Carried different guns off and on, but now I carry my G26 most of the time. Except at work. They are kinda of an anal rententive, bleedin heart, screamin LIBERAL type of company. Why they advertise "Imagination at work" is beyond me!!!!

[pkr hd]

I tote. I tote several different guns but i prefer my little 38 revolver.

[jawjaboy]

I tote. I tote several different guns but i prefer my little 38 revolver.

What 38 ya carry PH? S&W,Taurus, Charter, Colt...?
.

[pkr hd]

Mostly charter now, being my wife took my tauras. Both 5 shot.

[creophus]

Nothing wrong with a Charter.

[Messenger]

I always carry my P3AT


Me too, never leave home without it.

[HotGuns]

Let me tell ya ll a little story about the ONE time I decided NOT to tote.

This further reinforces my belief that if you are going to TOTE, then TOTE. Don't leave home without it!

A Friend of mine was going through a nasty divorce and wanted to give me his rather nice bedroom furniture because he didn't want to move it. He had already got an apartment and was separated from his lunatic wife.

I didn't wear my gun because it was hot, I sweat like a pig and I was going to be moving furniture up two flights of stairs.

So I get there and lo and behold PSYCHO bitch shows up and starts raising cain. Since my friend is there with his girlfriend, she freaks out and jumps on her pulling her hair and punching her in the face. My friend, knocks her off and she runs down the stairs towards her car. I was certain that she was running to get a gun and kill us all.

I run to my truck, open the door and pull my HK.45 out from under the seat and the worst case scenario is going thought my mind. I wasn't about to let her go up there and kill them and the situation was looking grim.So I stand at my truck to see what happens. She starts unload the stuff in the back of his truck and throwing boxes full of stuff all over the place.

Lucky for us all, she didn't produce a gun, instead choosing to play the loud obnoxious crazy woman part that had the neighbors calling 911. So the Cops came and asked us what was up. I had to file a report as well as my friend, as we are both county officers. Since it involved us both, they took it up with the Sheriff and turned it over to him. It all came out well but I learned one important lesson.

You'll never know when you might need that gun. If you did, you'd want to carry a shotgun or a rifle if you knew you had to use it.

Even in the most seemingly harmless situations, carry the gun.

As of now, I dont leave home without it. I'd rather have it and not need it, rather than needing it and not having it. That sucks. Totally.

[Zeus]

I couldn't agree more.

[chewy]

I wish I could carry at work. Working in the behavioral health field with unstable criminals always presents potential problems. Especially when I discharge some on non-compliance with treatment issues then, since it's always someone else's fault with majority of this population, some will blame us at the agency I work for. It ain't happened but the ingredients are always present for a bad cocktail.

[GLShooter]

Phoenix has enough reasons for me to carry anytime I step out of the house. I also carry anytime I am on a trip thanks to the LEOSA letting me ignore the need for a CCW permit.

Greg

[helitack32f1]

Had a CWP since 1992 or so. Been carrying Glock 23 every day for about a year now. Mostly Carry the G23 but may switch to my LCP once shorts weather arrives. I carry at work as well, driving a propane delivery truck. Happy to have it along for company.

[Randyc74]

I carry one of my Glocks all day every day. At home, a Ruger LCP in my pocket.

http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy117/BulldogCustomGunLeather/RugerLCPfrontpocket.jpg

[gjk5]

Usually a 638 with CT's. Occasionally a Kimber Ultra Carry II with CT's.

[HotGuns]

Obama has done much to stimulate the gun buisness.

[Pitmaster]

Obama has done much to stimulate the gun buisness.

That may be but he also caused the increase in prices.

[ddcarter3]

I carry a G26, G38 or a Kimber Pro CDP II in a Comp-Tac Minotaur. Sometimes my LCR in a pocket. I was asked by my wife once if I had to carry everywhere? I said with a permit and training I would never forgive myself if I decided it would be inconvenient to carry one day and some JACKA$$ decide to shoot one of you. She has never asked again. Good woman she is!
I told my future Son-in-Law, if he screwed my daughter around one more time, I would shoot him. And I practice at 15-25 yards so run in a zig zag fashion!LOL! He is 6'6" and about 260 and I ain't!

[mdg132]

G 30 or S p220 every day the p220 is new A present to myself for no reason and I like it.

[VN350X10]

Well, it's not legal here in the Democratik Peoples Republik of Corruption to carry.....
That said, when I feel a need,(works out to about 40% of the time:hideingbhindcurtian) it's a G27 w/Gold Dots, in the Gunshop it's always my G29 w/Silvertips & ALWAYS my Cold Steel "Gunsite Tanto" in the 5" flavor.
Had people at work see the CS & ask "Is that LEGAL?"
I respond "I have yet to see ANY jurisdiction that would not consider this to be, legally, a knife".
That usually ends the stupid questions.
If & when we get CCW here in Ill, it will be my G29 in a Galco Concealable.
I wear that in the shop, hidden by a t-shirt & only the customers that know me realise that I'm carrying.
Sold a LOT of that model Galco to LEO's over the years that way.

Good luck with that.

Until you get rid of the Mafia bosses that run Chicago, it aint gonna happen.

[VN350X10]

Well, Ritchie the Twit was REALLY squirming the other night on the T.V. news.
The "Supreme's" stepped on his pee-pee REAL hard lilke !

A Federal Appeals court has no choice but to go by the Supreme Court ruling, so the next challange to ChiTown will wipe that B.S. ordnance off the books !

And that will open the door for concealed carry here in IL.

uncle albert

[jawjaboy]

I shore hope you right there Uncle. You good folk need some relief. Big time.

[helitack32f1]

Temps got up into the upper 70's today so I wore shorts and t-shirt to work. This meant I went from packin' the G23 to the LCP. I felt naked.

[Panhead Rider 1]

I have a permit for concealed handguns. Texans don't need a permit to conceal carry AOW shotguns and SBRs (tax stamp of course)

[HotGuns]

You got one? AOW or SBR?
