Who else is now always carrying because of this crap?
 
Me. That's who.

Just another day :yesnod:
I'm 60 years old and too old to fight some "youngster".

I'll be dammed if I get pulled out of a car or attacked on a street.

Conceal carry a .45 and back it up with a 17 round 9mm in the truck with an extra magazine.

I always carry, you never know. :seasix:

I never have before, but this year I went ahead and got a ccw license. I have to figure out what I want to carry, and then find a holster for it. I'm damn sure not going to get pulled out of my truck and beaten without a few people meeting their maker too. I used to feel comfortable just having a pocket knife handy, since I'm a reasonably big guy and haven't been in a fight since I was in junior high. Seeing what's going on now though.....these are not normal times.

Having said that, I'll be staying away from mobs if I can help it.

Just like a wop to bring a knife to a gun fight. :rolleyes:









Never owned a gun, and haven’t shot one since I was a teen, but I am thinking of getting a handgun or two.

If you ALWAYS carry you wont have to explain to the Jury why you decided to cary just the day that trouble found you. :yesnod: I suggest always carry or never carry...but also never ever admit to when you're carrying :needcoffee:

I carry 220 lbs of raw steel. I don't go to places where i need to carry.

I'm surprised we haven't seen someone who does not give a shit about life, lost their job, has no money, wife left, has terminal cancer, then decides to take a vehicle loaded with explosives, and just run down a bunch of looters and then for the finale, blow themselves up taking out a bunch of looters.

Pointer # 1
the most important word in "Conceal carry" is the word conceal.

Pointer # 2
it's a specialized weapon, designed and tailored for CCW.

example;

although this makes for an excellent highway cruiser:

I always have access to a firearm.

Top, I was considering getting a "Reach out and touch some one" rifle to fill an empty spot in my safe. But truthfully my 30-06 can fill that role, so I'm lacking in the shotgun dept, I have an old Mossberg 12 ga that I got off of the USS Iwo Jima when we decommissioned her but it's old and in bad shape. I've been looking at some 12 ga bullpup style shotguns, have you got a recommendation on anything like that?

Have legally carried since the early 1970s. Peoples republic of NY no less. Have a few out of state permits and can carry in a lot of states if necessary!

Normal up here in the boonies where I now live I have a Ruger LCR.38 with me.

Going in harms way like a city or a bad situation event has happened I then go to a .45 semi auto. Always well concealed as the liberal assholes in the cities just love to do a man with a gun call to police.

My house well lets just say it has sufficient weaponry in reach, and my wife is a steel plate shooter and my very good backup!:seasix:

Will have to wait for the renewed one to get here. :ball:
