The Nation We Live in

Jon, its scarey in NY with the new legislation. Whats more, NY is the hardest to get a CCW and doesnt honor any other states license. But those who dont abide by the laws have the ability to do as they please with no way for us to protect ourselves..

Better to be judged by 12, than carried by 6...

I carried in NC LONG before they got CCW - I didn't get my first permit 'til I was 32, but I've had one ever since. I'm a big guy, so I'm partial to carrying a 1911, mainly because I can... but i also have a couple of pocket .45's & a Taurus 605... just so I can pocket carry even on a moment's notice, if necessary.

Damn, you carry a 1911?!?!? Definitely a guy Id want on my side, hand cannon!!

I have 2 main ones I carry
Springfield GI Champ Mil Spec 4" 1911 or a H&K Full Size USP 40.
Happy with both. If I am not at work, I will have one of them with me at all times. I am not going to give someone a chance to harm my family or me if I have something to say about it.

I don't carry as often as I should (should be always! If I knew when/where something bad was going to happen I could just avoid it...) but I have been carrying a lot more lately. I NEVER travel without at least one.

Kimber Tactical Ultra - 3" 1911 either open carry in a Galco Paddlelite holster or concealed in a Galco Kingtuk. Either a Ruger LC9 or LCR for light summer carry.

Mini-Kimbers are nice. I have an Ultra Covert II. Would never have shelled out three & a half bills for the laser grips, if they hadn't come as party of the package!

That is a BA gun.

Going to submit my paperwork for my CCW tomorrow. The course was great, and I encourage anyone to take it, or even a general handgun/gun course.

Going to get an XD9 or 40 Subcompact for car/carry - Shot the fullsize and fell in love with the feel. Going to try a friends 40 subcompact next weekend to see how the little frame feels.

Personally I can't comfortably conceal a fullsize xd9, I'm 6'3 200lbs, normally wear a tshirt/jeans and I felt like I was printing all the time. It's great when I would wear a jacket though..
