    Most people do not handle firearms safely!

    When showing my pistol to anyone I always make sure it's unloaded but the same thing happens. Non-gun owners, gun owners, and ccw holders all do the same thing. 1. First thing they do, or let's say do not do, is verify the gun is unloaded. 2. They pick the gun up with their finger wrapped...

    Leaving gun in car - liability issue?

    I sometimes leave my handgun in the car. It fits perfect in my center console. If I run into a place where I know they don't like guns or where guns aren't permitted I leave it in the console and close the top of the console so no one can see it. If I lock the car, roll up the windows, and...

    I think CC is more suspicious. Opinions plz...

    I think CC in the wrong way can look more suspicious and draw more attention than OC. By "wrong way" I mean you are CC with a tight shirt on where the outline of a gun is evident or a short shirt that rides up and exposes a portin of the gun. I think it gives the impression as if you are...

    Have you ever been asked to leave due to OC/CC?

    Has anyone here ever been asked to leave a business open to the public by the owner/manager due to OC/CC a weapon? The law in my state specifically states OC/CC is permitted in "public buildings". Of course if the owner of the private property the business is located on asks you to leave you...

    Having a difficult time finding a belt / holster

    I haven't had much luck finding a holster or belt for my 3" Kimber 1911. I bought a Dutyman belt today. The problem I'm having is that I have a paddle holster and the gun keeps pulling down the belt and my pants. I want a nice tight fitting gun. Problem is if I tighten the belt any more the gun...

    LEOs only see your CCW data if they scroll to page 2 on their screens. Sometimes they get lazy and don't do that.

    Pleaes read Google warning

    This has nothing to do with Google being anti-gun. The web site is infected with malware or a trojan. You can see it in the web site code. The site owner doesn't know about it obviosly. They have to delete the malware code then alert google using the webmaster form. Google will then remove...

    Question about open carry in Nevada

    As I understand it, Nevada is an open carry state. There is no state law that prohibits you from carrying an exposed handgun in your holster. If it's tucked under your shirt you need a CCW however. So, if my 1911 is outside my shirt in view in my hip holster and I walk town Las Vegas Blvd or...

    Penna CCW valid other states?

    I have my PA CCW. I see several web sites that show the PA CCW is accepted by dozens of other states. But on the back of my CCW card is says "Valid in the state of PA only!" So is it valid in other states or not?

    UPS loses my gun in the mail...what do I do?

    I've used UPS for 10+ years. They NEVER pay on insurance claims. It is always twisted around to be the fault of the shipper. I have NEVER in 10 years once been paid. Last year they lost or totally destroyed/damaged 25% of my large boxes. The inside packaging, type of box, amount of tape...

    Need a holdster - where can I buy this type?

    Would you have used your handgun in this situation?

    No I'm dead serious this did happen. Last week. Large cities like Los Angeles and NYC it is very common for police wait times. In the end the cops wrote tresspass warnings to the burglars but basically let them go. When I was in Miami last year I called 911 to report a huge fight on Rt 1...
