I wear a friendship bracelet and smile a lot... would that work down there? lol

Work for what? Tricks on the corner? :roflpuke2:

I carry legally, and in response to the question about securing your piece in the car if you have to leave it, I don't personally have this but I have seen lock boxes universally designed to fit in the footwells of the car, black plastic and cabled down. I'd have to hunt for the link

Yeah, it's tougher to lock a box down in the Z though, unfortunately.

I carry legally with a Bob Mernickles external holster carried on my second belt loop around 4 o'clock and a sweat shirt over it. Wether it's a SIG 220 or 229, S&W 640 or Glock 27, all work in one of his specific holsters. Dillon's Blue Press offers holsters or call him. The gun rides high, here is a pic.

No state is above 10% of the population with CCW permits, most are well below half that amount. I live in Kansas, where the rate is about 0.3%.

The exact info seems to be hard to come by, not sure why. This list is from 2004, based off of the 2000 census. Only lists out Shall Carry states. Kansas isn't even on here because we didn't become Shall Carry until 2006 I believe.

Keep in mind as well, that even those with a CCW permit...don't actually carry our guns around everywhere. I live in the middle of soccer mom land. 10yrs ago you couldn't spit without hitting a mini-van...now it's all SUV's. Nobody is car jacking anyone around here. Very little crime. I'd bet most people don't even lock their doors at night.

I believe most people who legally carry around a gun all the time are typically some type of law enforcement or military, past or present. That's just my guess based on what I've seen.

The only time you need to draw your weapon is when YOU OR SOMEONE YOU ARE WITH is threatened with mortal harm.

You don't know what is going on. You don't have a clue what a situation is about. A mugging or robbery might well turn out to be an undercover narcotics bust for all you know. A CCW permit is not a Superhero card.

:shakes head:
I never carried illegally. I got my permit, and now I carry. I also do not carry at work as that is illegal.

i am not a super hero, i understand the law and abide by it, that being said i still say the same. in nc you can open carry, which i think its most states, visible by 3 sides without a permit. i prefer to ccw my weapon as not to advertise it and carry it to defend myself and whoever i'm with. it would be highly doubtful i would ever have to assist someone other than myself/passenger because the Z is so fast everything around is a blur... besides those getting robbed and not carrying are sheep and believe guns are evil things that kill people by themselves

You don't have to assist anyone. My CCW permit even states on it that I do not have LE responsibilities or privilege of arresting, etc.

You are not a cop (are you?), and you are not a superhero. I think you took my post to mean "just because you have a CCW..." No, I meant don't go trying to be Mr. Do-good. You won't like where it is likely to get you.

so true.. :shakes head:

oh goodness this thread is going down the drain

:iagree:

Yikes! A dangerous mindset.

:facepalm:

So you believe that well over 90% of the population is scared of evil and dangerous guns? How do you rationalize the fact that 40% of all US households willingly own and sleep in the same house with these evil and dangerous things?

Mine does as well. I'm guessing they all do. Probably for this very reason.

Right now I'm carrying a M&P outside waistband holster. I normally carry on the right hand side. While it seems to fit just fine, the seatbelt interferes with being able to draw. Because of that, if I don't have a passenger, I just put it on the seat.

Since there seems to be a lot of curiosity about gun laws, I live in AZ. Both open and concealed carry are legal without a permit. However, the state still has a CCW permit that allows for a couple bonus things.

Wow...this thread scares me. Didn't know so many of you carry. Then again, I live in Canada. I do have a Swiss Army knife. What's that saying about bringing a knife to a....nevermind.
:wtf2:

Knives are brutal. If someone pulled a knife on me I would probably drop my gun and run.

That would suck for you...i'd have a knife and a gun. But then again, I'd probably end up accidentally ejecting the clip while trying to fire. LOL.

If you're close enough, not only could you kill me, you would be able to walk away without anyone knowing.

A couple quotes for fun:

"Americans [have] the right and advantage of being armed - unlike citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms."
-James Madison

"Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA -- ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the state."
-Heinrich Himmler

"Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom."
-John F. Kennedy

Excellent. :tup:

i've always said i'd rather be shot that stabbed

again, thanks for the idea's/options i think i'm gonna go with this one carried at the 4:30 position
Galco holsters; Holsters; Gun holster, pistol holsters, western holsters, shoulder holsters, leather holster and Glock holsters

^ good choice

Personally, I've always found it odd that this country allows 1st the right to free speech and 2nd the right to bare arms. Those 2 things right there seem like the perfect storm scenario for every domestic dispute that goes down in this country. Person A can say whatever they want and Person B can carry a gun. Hmmmmmmmm, what kind of reality show could we make up on that one? :)

Right on! I prefer long sleeve shirts myself.

It's called you need to taking the high road.;)

i carry a glock 23 .40cal and glock 31 .357sig usually inside waist holster, if im going on short ride ill keep it tucked @ 2 oclock position, if going on a further ride like someone else mentioned take it out when i get in the car and store behind passenger seat cubby with the handle skyward so i can grab it quick. Im licensed concealed carry and love having a sense of security when im out in the crazy state of washington!

Whoops! I think I meant ...

.... the write to bear arms. :bowrofl:

Isn't the English language fantastic - makes you wonder what the founding fathers actually meant doesn't it?????

Or maybe it's just that Canadian air playing tricks on my brain ... help me out here wheee! :tiphat:

^^^ They meant the "right to Arm Bears".

It couldn't be any clearer.

I'm still searching for Polar Bear Arms

I bought some on Ebay. I had no idea that the bear they got them from was part of an experiment ... a terrible experiment.

Could you even keep a holster at 4-5 o'clock with those babies? Comfortably of course. :roflpuke2:

:tup:
