Z owners that carry, a question...

BrianMSmith

A small firearm can tuck under the rear edge of the floor mat under your right leg, or even in the door pocket, same place I keep my sunglasses case.

Man, weird that all you guys go driving with your guns between 4 and 5 o'clock ... what do you do if it gets later in the evening? LOL

I carry either a Springfield Micro 45 in a Crossbreed Supertuck or a Taurus 380 with a laser sight, also in an IWB. I carry both around 3 - 4 o'clock...I have RA and a hip that's threatening to blow out any time that precludes me carrying further back while riding, hence my choice for the auto tranny also. Spare mags ride on the opposite side. Cans and full auto are legal here in SC too < life is good! >. I don't have any comfort issues with the seats in the car while carrying.

Not to thread jack, but perhaps a more pertinent question for me is where do those of us who do carry secure our arms when we go into locations that don't allow us to take our arms with us? Do you have a lock box in your car? A cable and padlock (this is the option that I will most likely pursue, having just purchased the car)?

while i don't condone breaking any law... if its concealed, its concealed right?

Depends on your local laws. In VA, the glovebox is good enough, so that's where it goes. I pretty much never leave my piece in the car though.

I rarely go to places I can't carry, and I try to leave the piece at the house when I do.

I am curious about how many who carry do so legally.

i have my concealed carry permit and appropriate tax stamps for all my nfa items

WorkinMan

Ditto.

I suggest you get a handgun case that can bolt into the floor of the car and comes with a combination lock or key lock or both.
It's impossible to tell how many carry handguns, legally or illegally. With that in mind, I carry mine most of the time because I don't want to be caught unprotected or get involved in something that needs my attention.

In the US, every state has a different law regarding permits to carry.

Again, that would almost be impossible to tell.

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.

Although SC allows concealed carry and NFA items, etc, the state is still behind times otherwise. I cannot carry into an establishment like a Ruby Tuesday's because they serve alcohol, for instance. That I don't indulge while there is irrelevant. If I'm planning on going to several other places where I feel I ought to carry then I need to be able to make my sidearm safe and store it while eating or plan on eating somewhere else. If I'm traveling, the same applies if the locale I'm visiting (I have permits from several states that pretty well cover reciprocity, also) has similar restrictions. If I am to leave the firearm in the vehicle I want to be as certain as possible that some cretin doesn't just break into my vehicle but also end up with my firearm also. Due to the limited space available, I'll have to rig up a simple solution.

wheee!

just curious... what percentage of American's carry handguns anyways? As a Canadian, you pretty much have to be a police officer or Brink's guard to carry. Even us soldiers have to move heaven and earth to get a license let alone a permit to carry. You can get a transport license, to and from a range, no deviations... but anything else is almost impossible.

not as many as you would think. i'm ex military and do a lot of competition shooting. i would like to think i could assist/prevent in bad situations if one were to happen. my training and experience just reminds me that the situation can always be worse armed or not.

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.


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