CCW Permit

[BIGSHCLUNK]

Remenber the more Liberal the area you are carrying in , ( if you had to defend your life and take a life ) the more days you will spend in jail while your lawyer fights to get you out for defending yourself. Hope it don't go to the 9th Circus of APPEALS  or it will go all the way to the supreme court.

 

Our Governor (Scott WALKER) just signed the "castle" law here a few days ago. All the libs here were pissn n moanen bout that. But even before they passed the CCW they were all cryn it was gonna turn into the wild west ect ect. DIDNT HAPPEN! Got my permit the first week they were available. Got my papere work for the Utah & Florida permits ready just need to mail them. Oddly Wis did not require fingerprinting as Utah & Forida do. Anyway currently tote my CZ P-01... but I've got a few others to choose from.  Getting used to an IWB holster altho have a paddle also.

Use a Ruger LCP (light carry pistol).
Fits in my pocket at 10oz and I love the crimson trace laser.
To me its important that it is small and comfortable enough to carry all the time. If it wasnt I would always find an excuse not to have it on me.

I have a concealed carry permit. It used to be a hassle to get one (I live in VA) and you used to have a darn good reason to obtain one. I owned a business and there had been a rash of armed robberies, so I got mine then. Now it's much easier to get one unless you're a convicted felon or have a domestic violence charge on your record. They are good for 5 years and there are many reciprocal states that will honor the permits of your state in their state. Virginia is a gold star state as there is an open carry law meaning if you don't have a concealed carry permit, you can openly carry a loaded weapon, but if you conceal it without a permit & get caught, that's a problem. I carry a very lightweight Charter Arms Bulldog .44 special 5 shot revolver. Boy does it pack a punch!! And GranCuda; the Kimber is a top notch weapon! I also whole heartedly have to agree with Cody. God forbid I'd have to use mine. A few years back a thug walked into a local liquor store, produced a gun, waved it around, made threats to the store personnel and customers and robbed the store. On the robber's way out, a customer with a concealed carry permit pulled out his gun and shot the robber in the back (killing him) as he was leaving the store. He was not charged because he stated that the robber threatened everyone in the store and he feared for his life. It's all about protection & I've looked down the barrel of a loaded gun before and I'm just glad the man didn't pull the trigger!! I don't want to be there again. We live in a crazy world. Be safe, be smart & be careful!

You're so right.  IMO, the LCP is probably the best all around carry gun there is.

Remember guys, if you pull it out.... use it.  Don't pull it out unless you're sure you're going to pull the trigger.  Be ready (right or wrong) to go to jail too.... It's just the way the system works.  You will need to prove your life was in danger and there was NO OTHER WAY OUT.

Been really thinking about a kimber .45 one of the neighbor friends has one and I have been trying to get him to sell it to me. They are a little more nimble and not as bulky as my Desert eagle .44. I finally found the desert eagle holster with the logo on it at the gun show and have a lanyard I can attach to it.  No sense in concealing the desert eagle as it is so big people will know your packin or think your a long lost relative of the hunchback of notre dame.

Just FYI, I was out shooting with my buddy and his Kimber .45 blew up in his face. He sent it in to them and they claim it was a hot load and would not cover it or offer him a discount on a new one. I would think you could triple load a .45 ACP and that gun should take it. Oh well, needless to say he wont be buying another one.   Matt

I've had a CC permit in MA for about 10 years now.  Better to have and not need than to need and not have.  It's a tool like any other.  Imagine being stuck on the side of the road without a lug wrench to change the spare.  You're screwed for want of a tool.  I feel a firearm is the same way.  Just as some would rather call AAA than change a tire themselves I'd rather have the ability to protect myself at the moment than wait for help to arrive.  I have a Glock 27 for conceal carry, and a Sig Sauer P226 for work.  That Sig is so accurate I was hitting 6" metal discs at 100 yards!  The Glock, not so much.  But if it needs to come out I'll probably be far less than 100 yards from the problem anyway.

Good thing that happened in VA, if that happened in MA the customer would still be in jail.  Commonwealth vs Klein,  Julian vs Rendazzo, etc
In this state, if you shoot a "fleeing felon" in the back, you're in big trouble.

Depends what you triple load it with..

bingo!

Got mine in Texas.  I've had it for about 8 years.  You can take a 10 hour course with practical exam.  It's pretty easy to do.  The reciprocity seems to change all the time, and will vary depending on your state.
