• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Carrying Concealed

If you carry:
1) make sure you get trained in combat shooting--start on a target range then go to a combat range.
2) make sure you shoot and re-train regularly. Ability to shoot is not like riding a bicycle--it takes constant practice.
3). Make sure you have it in your head that you can kill another person--not everyone can--and if you can't, there is no shame--just don't get a gun because someone will take it away from you an use it on you.
4) combat changes you, you must be prepared for that.
5). A small caliber gun is easier to handle than a large caliber--especially at the short distances in a combat situation. However, they do not make you feel as macho. A gun is a tool. A gun is not a statement.
6) decide if you might be better off with pepper spray. Remember you are unlikely to be assaulted--even in bad neighborhoods, and when you are monpving, ie. Not stopped at red lights, the liklihood of an assault drops even more.
7). By the way, did I stress training enough. Merely because someone was an excellent shot 15 years ago doesn't mean he is today.
8). If you get in a combat situation, make sure to watch the background where most of your bullets will end up--you probably don't want to injure a bystander.

Excellent advice!
 
A New Saddle?

How about an new saddle (seat)? And since we are talking about a 3-wheeler you could have one on each side for a double-draw!!

​Good post. 8 out of 10 people are in more danger when they carry. They feel secure when they carry but hesitate to use or not sure they should use it. If you are going to carry make sure you can make split decisions without hesitation and know when to unholster the gun. Make sure you are in imminent danger and there is no other way out before pulling the trigger. Reality remains could you actually shoot another person? Food for thought.

No permit is required to carry concealed in Arizona now. I still keep my permit active as I have for 45 years because of recip. out of state.

I carry a Ruger LCP 380 in a nice little pocket holster which I keep in my right jeans pocket. The handle sticks out of my pocket a little, but I leave my tee shirt untucked and it covers it. It's a small weapon, but I keep it loaded with critical defense rounds. On those rare occasions when I have to go into a place with one of those "No Weapons Allowed" signs, I just lock it in my trunk.

Do not carrie any pistol till you have spent a lot of time at the range. Get completely familuar with the safty cocking and shooting. If you have never target practiced with a pistol you are in for a shock. I care a sig p938 9mm all the time in front pocket. It is the smallest 9mm if you practice you can get very good to 10 or 12 yards. And farther you needa 3 to 4 inch barrel dending on individuals capability.

Where else?

You carry it on your person. A gun is of absolutely no value or use when you have it in the trunk, in a bag (no matter how close that bag may be to you). The only logical place to carry it is in a holster on your person. If a situation has escalated to the point where you need to defend yourself, you don't want to be fumbling around trying to open some stupid bag. A semi-automatic has the advantage of holding more rounds in the magazine. Notice I didn't say bullets or clip. If you're going to carry a firearm, make yourself familiar with the correct terminology. A revolver, while not holding as many rounds as a semi-auto, is almost jam proof.
 
I will say this: I try to avoid areas where trouble can occur, but that is not always possible. I have been trying to come up with some "goodies".
I have two items of interest for personal protection in the works. One is a means to carry concealed and have access right at hand and the other is a non lethal force option. I'll post more when we get things ready! I am especially excited about the non-lethal option.

I too now carry non-lethal along with a gun. A flashlight that is a stun gun too and pepper spray, that shoots a stream 15-20 feet. Even if you are totally in the right too many anti-gun people on the juries. I will use the option if I feel they will work enough to stop the problem.
 
well hidden

Laser sighted S&W 38 with the "right " ammo in a Crossbreed mini-tuck. comfortable, does not print with the Crimson trace small grip. I like a wheel gun--- no jam---- ever, no safety ( on or off???) Hard to beat the S&W single action trigger.
Shoot lots of different weapons untill you find one you really like. Get training!!

Being un armed in a BAD situation can cause:::::
