I'm taking the Concealed Carry Weapons Class this weekend!!

[Cavman]

Yep, the laws in GA are the same. But now they are trying to screw things up at the capitol.

I have three carry permits because GA doesn't have reciprocity in all the states I travel. UT and FL permits make up the difference. If I can't carry in a state, I don't go there with the exception of NV where Front Sight is located.

I've been shooting quite a bit lately and this weekend we take our concealed carry class. I'm excited about it. I am going to qualify for both the revolver and semi automatic and I'll take the Utah and Nevada courses. That also qualifies us for the Florida permit.

Lookout this old broad is packing heat!

Congratulations!

I have had my CCW in MN for 10 years. Matter of fact it is time for my renew again. BH and I were in IPSC/USPSA for 8 years.

Take your time in choosing your carry gun. I have 3 for different circumstances and the time of the year.

Again, congratulations!

[SPYD1]

In Michigan, no restrictions on which handgun, revolver or semi.

[Babyblue]

Good for you!! My husband and I got our permits in a couple of weeks ago. My big problem is finding the right holster. My normal winter wear is no problem. Summer time is a different story.

We get our holsters from Alessi. Long wait, but worth it.

[Flight Risk]

I too have my CHL. I took the coarse with my SA so I can carry SA or revolver...no idea why it matters. It has become a part of me. Everyone remember to continue practicing after you get the license.

I feel safer and very glad I have this.

[shrubs]

Excellent and glad your taking the class. In the "old" days one had to go looking for trouble. In today's work, trouble looks for an opportunity to exploit us.

My wife and I both have ours. I wanted her to get one even if she doesn't carry, I can leave the gun with her and she won't get arrested. Having her arrested wouldn't be the worse part. It would be after bail is posted!

[Cruzr Joe]

Now, Joe, it just might hurt my feelings if you stopped giving me a hard time. And you wouldn't want me to cry and not be able to sight in my target, now would you?!

Uh-oh this is the true meaning of a dilema.

Leslie,
I'll dig around a bit and see if I can get you pointed in the right direction; I've never owned a Kahr though...

[Dustybell]

I'm leaning toward an appendix crossbreed holster or a smart carry holster. If I was a bit more ah well a "blessed" I would absolutely go for the flash bang holster.

The Missus uses a Gloria LeMaster concealed-carry handbag.

I have had a conceal carry license since my military days (Uncle Sam issued it - job related) and continue today to carry. Anyone else find it strange that you have to "pay money" to exercise your 2nd Amendment right to "bear arms"? Seems like that in and of itself is an "infringement". But no one argues that the poor, who may not be able to afford the licensing fee or class, are being denied their right to "bear arms". The reason I, a certified instructor, instruct for free.

Final thought, our Founding Fathers gave each of us the right to own a firearm (and possibly carry) and was found by our courts to be protected under the 2nd Amendment. Anyone know where in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights the right to vote is found?

End of rant.....

We're not getting Political yet; are we??

[bruiser]

I sure hope not.

[Bob Denman]

Me too! I'm already weak from all of the deleted posts...

[bruiser]

Thankfully I haven't had to pull mine yet and I hope i never have to. I had a small incident in the local Target parking lot last year and all I did was pull my coat back and the guy changed his mind real quick.

[Bob Denman]

Didn't Danny DeVito describe lawyers as being a lot like nuclear bombs in the move, "Other People's Money"?
"They're handy to have if you really need them; but they sure do muck up the landscape."
I think that firearms can also be lumped into that description.

[ma and pa]

I've had mine since 2000,It's hard to roll the windows up and lock the doors on my spyder.

[Bob Denman]

Frunk, or Top Trunk; they lock up pretty solid.

I won't mention 'Remington, Winchester, Ruger ,Savage etc.' AA-12 Automatic Shotgun should probably be on my not to mention list also.

You have to be careful doing this. Some state laws may consider doing just that as being legally defined as "brandishing a firearm" and now you're in trouble with the law and its attorneys. These people do not look at the facts that your doing so ("non-lethal") did in-fact end the possible escalation of the situation which may have resulted in a shooting incident ("lethal").

I am real happy to see all of you going out to take the cc course. Carrying a weapon is an awesome responsibility not to be taken lightly. I found a few resources, like the NRA, and concealed carry magazine to be very educational. I would also urge you to get involved in protecting your rights as a gun owner and responsible citizen. Happy shooting!

True... But if you have a valid reason to fear for your life or well-being; you're pretty much good to go...

[boborgera]

NYC, Is going to allow concealed weapons, .......
As soon as they Outlaw the Stop and search policy.

[jerpinoy]

Just got my permit to carry, Indiana has no class. So guess I'm good to go. Funny thing is day after I get a gun someone steals something off the house. Go figure?

It won't be funny if you killed somebody accidentally.

Here in NC we are an open carry state. No permit is needed to open carry. You do have to get a permit to buy. It is only $5. And that is a sheriff fee for a background check. I have also held classes for free in some cases. Depending on the situation of the particular individual.
