Concealed Carry Weapons, Firearm

[richwrench]

Hey Warrior, holy $&!#, you need a concealed CANNON license. :rofl_200:

 

[06VMAXIMUS]

I don't conceal carry yet, due to the fact that I live in a good area and don't really travel to any "bad" areas. That being said, I do have a large collection of guns at the house and if anyone breaks in they will get to see them all!!

I got this in my E-Mail Today:..................... Why Grandpa carries a gun

PEOPLE ASK WHY?​

Why Carry a Gun?​

My old grandpa said to me 'Son, there comes a time in every man's life when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and​

usually it's when he becomes too old to take an ass whoopin.'​

I don't carry a gun to kill people.​

I carry a gun to keep from being killed.​

I don't carry a gun to scare people.​

I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.​

I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid.​

I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.​

I don't carry a gun because I'm evil.​

I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.​

I don't carry a gun because I hate the government.​

I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.​

I don't carry a gun because I'm angry.​

I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.​

I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.​

I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.​

I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy.​

I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.​

I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man.​

I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.​

I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate.​

I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.​

I don't carry a gun because I love it.​

I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.​

Police protection is an oxymoron.​

Free citizens must protect themselves.​

Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.​

Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take an ass whoopin'.....author unknown (but obviously brilliant)​

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY​

------------------------------ ​

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. ​

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens. ​

Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late! ​

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson. ​

With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.​

During WW II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED! ​

If you value your freedom, please spread this antigun-​

control message to all of your friends. ​

The purpose of fighting is to win.​

There is no possible victory in defense.​

The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either.​

The final weapon is the brain.​

All else is supplemental. ​

SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!​

SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE.​

SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!! ​

IT'S A NO BRAINER!​

DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.​

I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment!​

Yes, 45 acp's the way to go. Never owned a Sig but I've heard good things about them. Very Cool that you can just stop in at Gander Mountain.:biglaugh:

Pretty much always.carry my Browning HP 40 SW in a bianci 100 iswb with 180 hydrashocks. Carried my Glock 20 10MM with a friends holster & 135grn CorBons for a while. Just put a bobtail on a fullsize 1911 and will carry it once I've put a serious round count thru it. My wife threw a **** fit first time she saw me load up before we went out. I told her the permit was pretty much useless without a gun to go with it. During the argument she asked why I thought I needed to carry, I told her"because I'll kill anyone that tries to hurt you." That shut her up

 

[SpecOps13]

My Wife was satisfied with me carrying. That lasted for years, then some ******** followed her all the way home from work and stopped in the street just off the driveway. That was about 1 AM. I was there behind a tree and started walking straight at his truck. That ended this story but the next day she said she was getting her Concealed Carry Permit. She was in the next available class, electronically filed her finger prints and submitted the paperwork. 3 weeks after the incident she had her permit back. That's the fastest I've ever heard of anyone getting theirs. 17 days to process the paperwork and get it out and in her hands.

 

[vmaxbill]

Wow,17days is fast? It's usually 3 from the time I go to the sheriff's office and pay my renewal fee to pulling the new permit out of the mailbox. Iowa finally passed a shall issue law so now we'll be good for five years instead of renewing every year.

 

[kaboom]

In NY State it will take about 6 months....complete background check and investigation.....valid for life unless revoked.....

NOT valid in the 5 boroughs of New York City unless endorsed by Chief of NYPD....

So I can't carry it in the only place I would REALLY want to.....makes sense don't it???:ummm:

 

[SpecOps13]

Everyone we knew who took the class at the same time she did took 2 to 3 months to get theirs. People were trying to hire her to process their paperwork. She smiled at all of them and passed.:rofl_200:

 

[Slacker]

I normally pack a little 22 auto or a 9, pt111. Depends if I'm on my bike. The 22 will fit just right under the flip seat. If I knew 'risks' around would be higher, I'd pack a 1911 or a cz52. I'd never have a 25 for defense. Like I heard, shoot someone with a 25, then a surgeon will be pulling it out of your butt in the near future.

I beg to differ, reading that a 357, 9 and 45 acp were about identical. The acp has knock down power, like the 40. The 357 has shock power, as well as tearing things up. The 9 doesn't hold a candle to either, although it'll kill, too. The 40, for economy, pounds, speed and range, seems to be the best way to go.

 

[SpecOps13]

The 40 is a good trade off between the 9 and 45.... I'd get one but then I'd have to stock another ammo.:bang head:

 

[98Redlne]

Regardless of the caliber, find a gun that is comfortable to carry all of the time and do that.

Better to have a small .22 on your hip than have a .45acp sitting at home in your gun safe.

Hey, thats what I said:ummm: Great minds think alike :biglaugh:

 

[SpecOps13]

Hey, a 22's a hell of a lot better than the 25. I read a story years ago that a woman grabbed her 25 in the middle of the night, thinking it was nasal spray. She put the barrel up to her nose and pulled off a round. She lost some sleep and the Adrenalin cleared up her sinus problem. That was the only effect it had.:rofl_200::biglaugh::rofl_200:I believe she sneezed the bullet back out......

Hmmm, sounds like complete bs for a few reasons, 1. Use nasal spray everyday, twice a day and it does't feel anything like a gun not even my jenning s22, 2. never head nasal spray go bang. 3. There is some pretty soft tissue, even a blunt pen being pushed by hand will cause major damage. 4. The flash of unburnt powder from a tiny barreled gun would realy f u up in there.

Hey, I hear ya, Only said I'd read the story....
