Finally going to start carrying.

[pontifex]

I've had my concealed carry license for a long time now but have never carried. I really didn't have a holster and belt that were made for it.

I ordered a $90 leather belt that's handmade for having heavy items attached to it and a leather holster made for concealed carry.

With all the shit going on lately, its definitely time to start carrying.

Don't you live in the middle of nowhere?

What kind of handgun/holster/belt? I have a number of different handguns and some fine leather holsters for them. Of course, I can't carry legally where I live, but that doesn't stop me from being prepared.

Kind of sucks to live somewhere that the government doesn't trust you enough, doesn't it? How can you be prepared when the people you run into that are going to cause you trouble are actually carrying a gun because they don't care what the law says? Nice false sense of security you live under. Being prepared in your case means either staying home or avoiding all areas where you might run into a problem. Unfortunately that could be just about anywhere these days.

What a bunch of crap as if everybody needs to carry a gun just in case.
Fuck, Ive been around for a while now and I was NEVER in a situation where i might need a friking gun. Where the fuck do you people live?

Maybe it is that dangerous to live in the US and if it is so, i am glad I don't live there.

How about, not living in fear...

I've lived in this state for almost 20 years and lived in Los Angeles during the LA riots in the early 90s. Honestly, the best way to stay out of trouble isn't to carry a gun. It's using common sense and avoiding trouble to begin with.

Actually, I really love living here. I'd never move away from the state I love based on gun laws or concealed carry laws. IMO only a complete idiot would do that.

so going to the mall and buying gifts and anything else you need is not using common sense and avoiding trouble? i wouldnt ever carry a gun but it definitely seems places that were safe no longer are.

Wait, you'd pull a weapon on someone who is trying to rob you for xmas gifts? I'd give them all the gifts and do as they say. You pulling a gun is much safer and starting a gun fight in a public place = safety!

WFT are you talking about? Do you live in South Central?

Yeah I see it on the news everyday that someone whips out an AK and starts just killing people for that xbox 360 game someone is carrying.

EDIT: I'm glad we still have the right to carry, but to use the excuse that someone might jump up with an AK to blast a mall is wrong. Starting gun fights in pubic is even worse.

Let's just ask pontifex for pics and leave the P&N-style debate on gun-control out of here.
:camera:s?

Second time I've agreed with you today. Something is very wrong here.

It must be awful to live in fear all of the time. And what strikes me as even funnier is that typically when you get people talking about carrying guns, it's always in flyover states. I guess someone has to guard that pie softly cooling on the windowsill.

right, cause Mr. Hero, who is going to stand there and shoot it out with his little concealed carry against a wacko with an assault rifle, is going to have a better chance of surviving that one-in-a-trillion occurrence than someone who drops everything and runs.

seriously, you people display classic symptoms of schizophrenia. and then you guys bring up the argument of "crazy people carry guns!" all i can say, is yes, you're absolutely right. they most definitely do.

 

[BarneyFife]

I bet this guy lives out in the country. Never had the need for a gun and if I got robbed I would give them my stuff.

I've yet to see a gun fight at the mall. Honestly, what are the odds on that anyway considering I spend maybe 2-3 hours a year at the mall? In fact, I've yet to read a story about a shooting at the mall that I "frequent." Hell, even if you lived there you'd probably never be exposed to gunfire.

I'm not saying that things don't happen but the odds really are in your favor and the likeliness of you doing something positive with your gun while armed are slim to none. Not to mention the huge responsibility of carrying a gun to begin with. I'm not entirely convinced that that's something CCW holders really grasp.

Again, living in fear isn't part of my life.

I dont carry because I feel a need to, I carry because I can. It is called freedom.

Are you sure it doesn't have anything to do with the vertigo inspiring sense of power and reassurance that you are, in fact, a big man and could "kill anyone you wanted to right this goddamn second Tina, I could do it if I wanted to but I won't because I love you," that comes along with carrying a gun?

Nah, I'm sure that has nothing to do with it.

Fine I could also carry a voltmetter with me everywhere I go, but that would be the point if I don't need it?
