You know there was a time when just about EVERY man was packing heat (openly) and it didn't seem such a big deal then. They weren't trying to do the job of the town sheriff or it's deputies, rather, they were just doing as they always have. Protecting themselves and their loved ones. You know... there's a hell of a lot more crime in todays world and I figure if I can promote safety in the confines of the law, then why the hell not? The criminals certainly don't ask permission.

The problem with gun laws is criminals don't care about gun laws. Gun laws only make it harder for the legitimate people to carry them. You think your average thief/rapist/killer cares if he doesn't have a CCW? Hardy fuckin har. I would be all for gun control, if we could get rid of every single one of them on the planet. But criminals are ALWAYS going to have guns, plain and simple.

I've heard it said this way...

"Seat belts, bike helmets, speed limits, cross walks, child seats, life jackets and the list goes on. Why does it seem normal to societyforus toprotect ourselves from everything but a violent crime?"

Yup... I keep a loaded fire extingisher in my house too. Have I ever had to use it? Nope...

Can't OC here in TX, I am currently waiting on the DPS to finish processing my CHL, in the mean time I bought a CCW, a walther PPS in 9mm. Since I got a keg for an abdomen, a slimmer gun would be a good thing for me.

As a Leo in socal, I'm all for ccw for the general population. Lots of studies have been done.... Areas with ccws to puic don't show an increase in gun related crime. As a Leo, everyone gets treated as if they have a gun, so what's it matter? The bad guys shoot like crap anyways. Lol.

An armed society is a polite society.

Driving while suspend... I got caught three times. first time I had no clue. Second time the lady at court told me if I got abstracts for my tickets she would reinstate it there on the spot. third time my sr22 hadnt cleared, another case of "youll be good in 24-48 hours"... it processed the day after I got pulled over.
I got 3 years probation, 1.5 years suspension added to my 6 months, and 30 days county jail. I managed to get the 30 days knocked down to 7.

There are 40 (I believe) "shall issue" states. Unfortunately California is not one of them (yet!), so I am stuck with open carry only for now until (if) I get approved for my conceal carry permit.

So much for the Bill of Rights eh?

I carry a Glock 20 (10mm).

lol @ 4th amendment. I think the point of the weapons check is to ensure the safety of many and damn the rights of one person. I could be wrong...

Glock 20... I think that's what the Famous But Incompetent carry....

In the words of criminals...."Hunting is no fun, if the prey's got a gun". Gun control is one of many reasons I plan on moving away from california down the road.

I don't know what the Foolish Boys In black carry. Could be.
