How many have concealed carry permit to carry a gun ?

[DAD1220]

Where do I carry them? And yes always...never show at a gunfight empty handed!

Full size .45 (IWB) inside waist band, small 9mm in my pants pocket, folding knife in my other pants pocket, high power flashlight on my belt, lead filled leather slapjack on my key ring, another 9mm in my wife's purse, 4 "D" cell Maglite in the truck door, shotgun in my truck,...

Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean there isn't someone out there trying to kill me!

As General Mattis said, "Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet."
or
"I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you screw with me, I'll kill you all"

I live in Maryland, so like most law abiding citizens here I am unarmed becasue I cannot prove to the MSP (Maryland State Police) that I have a "Good and Substantial" (G&S) reason to protect myself or my family outside the home. This was recently proved to be unconstitutional by a Federal Judge, but of course our very liberal AG appealed it, so we are awaiting that ruling.

Now they are trying to keep pace with New York and trying to pass lots of new anti-gun laws to "save the children" in case they must change to shall issue, and they are eliminating the death penalty as well...and want to legalize pot...

I have been to three rally's in our capital and have been calling/emailing reps, but unfortunately this state is just about a lost cause.

Yep. And I've had it for years.

And, yes, I do carry daily.

And, no, (thank God) I've never had to use it.

Oh yeah...MD is about as lefty as they come!!
I moved out of MD because of their left politics and high taxes back in 1987...it's just gotten worse in MD over the years.

Oh yes my freind-especially in three areas that seem to outvote the rest of the state. It's only getting worse, now we have reduced college tuition for ILLEGAL alliens, and gay marriage. They also just re-district'ed one whole conservative are to eliminate a republican candidate. Now they want to raise gas taxes to pay for who knows what social program for the takers. I could go on for hours, but t hat is not the point of this thread so I will stop here.

Unfortunately that is not possible for us to do in the foreseeable future. I am glad to hear you escaped the PRM.

Strong side IWB

James,

Which one do you use?

I have one IWB that will hold my full size Taurus 9mm, but too many of my pants don't work and it will take me some time to change out my wardrobe completely.

I've been looking at two things. 1 - an IWB in the middle of my back, and 2 - There is a new smaller Taurus I am VERY interested in...

I just collecting data still...

Be well,
David

I have noticed lately folks posting on message boards they have a lic to carry and I have even noticed some here locally carrying holstered pistol openly...makes me wonder if I should apply....I hate to be one of the only unarmed folks out here...

I have a CCL. But here in Kansas, it is legal to carry openly without a license and it is illegal for to carry open with a license.

Not to misdirect this thread, but as a pacifist that is pro gun ownership,
I read the gun threads to learn. And frankly what I read is a pretty constant
wake up call. And you aren't a bunch of "right wing gun nuts", you are guys just like
me, sitting in the barber seat yesterday, hoping what happened below doesn't happen to me.
And hoping that someone else in that barber shop is both cool and quick. And carrying.

Me? Give me a non lethal alternative, a seriously powerful taser, and tough luck if your heart gives out buddy
since you are pointing a gun at me. But so far no one will sell me one, and talk about getting harassed and arrested for
owning one, in all the different jurisdictions, some of whom likely consider chewing gum an offensive weapon.

Walk and talk quietly and carry a big stick. I want that big stick, but I don't want to kill anyone with it.
We don't have stun lasers yet...

How quickly can you get your weapon out and get an aimed round off? That might be an interesting comparison too.
and I'll be quiet now and let you guys continue. Drew




The string of incidents began Wednesday morning. Authorities first received a report of a fire at a residence at 9:29 a.m., D'Amico said. The call was followed minutes later with reports of shootings at a barber shop and at an oil change business in Herkimer, authorities said.

Police believe Myers spoke to some people at the barber shop before firing repeatedly, D'Amico said.

Harry Montgomery, 68, and Michael Rancier, 57, were pronounced dead at the scene. Two other people were in critical condition at St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Utica.

At the oil-change business, employee Thomas Stefka and Michael Renshaw, a 20-year veteran of the State Department of Corrections, died.
