I'll affirm this & go a step further. New proposed legislation would enshrine in our state constitution the right of all citizens to carry anywhere law enforcement does except fed govt buildings. I believe there is also talk of making it policy to ignore fed gun bans in NC also. Sent from my...

Yeah it was 9mm & I sold the 2 extra 17 rd mags today. I should have posted here to see if there were any takers. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

So I'll qualify this 1st by saying I had no intention of trading my daily open carry pistol when I went to my dealer. The Taurus 24/7 tactical I carried I bought brand new with the case & all accessories. I put close to 600 rounds through it on the range with nary an issue. None of the problems...

I still own a Hi Point .45 JHP that has been nothing but solid & dependable for me. I've had nary a FTF, FTE, or stovepipe using anything from steel cased to hand loads. In fact, the very reason I spent so long not commenting on this board (almost a yr of reading in the background) was due to...

Well I went a & bought the 9mm 24/7 OSS. I'll have to post some pics of it later after I've had time to do a thorough review. A few initial observations however. First the build quality, compared to others I looked at, was quite good. It has a nice balanced feel when fully loaded & ready to...

I keep my 1851 Navy loaded in a stand on my bedside table. It always can get a conversation started when people see it. They are even more amazed to know that it is loaded & can step on the back deck & fire a few rounds without fail. I've had mine loaded for almost 4 years without firing it...

I'll throw my vote behind the 1851 Colt as well. I have a Pietta 1851 Colt that is in .44 caliber & it point & shoots like a dream. The notch in the hammer for aiming is a perfect complement for "getting a bead on the target" quite literally. It does tend to shoot a little high to the left but...

You may have convinced me with this testimony. I was looking all around the net & found these particular pistols to be quite well done & receiving high praise almost everywhere. They both felt good in my hand & from everything I read they shoot well too. I guess if anything I was hesitant...

OK folks I'm checking at my dealer today & he has in his stock a couple of brand new Taurus 27/7 OSS in .9mm & .45 calibers. Both in the case with all extras included. Now I'll not even ask which caliber & start that kind of war. Just general buying advice here. The 9 is $379 & the 45 $409...

Oh & to those that have asked... My business is called Daltons General Store. We are in Lake Lure, NC if you should want to stop by & say hi. Ask most any of the locals in the town proper & they can tell you exactly how to get there since it's been a landmark here since 1937! Many owners have...

Well after a few days of tending to other matters I return & see more advice. Thank you all for the input. I especially like the communication with the local police info. Beings this is predominantly a resort/vacation community, with only a couple thousand residents at it's peak, we enjoy the...

Thank you Sam1911! Now this suggestion I like. I've spent a great deal of money & man hrs building/installing cabinetry behind the counter for tobacco & medicinal goods that are easily pick pocketed. So for the most part the under counter space has some electronic wiring for...

An interesting suggestion, but the economics of it aren't very feasible. The modification would be an enormous expense on me. And I've incurred many since buying this business in June of this yr. In this type of business, which isn't your typical chain retailer with hundreds of corner...

And you should be bothered by this. The same with the Polish immigrants in the upper Midwest & the Muslims in the Detroit area facing undue discrimination. But don't have blinders on to reality. The generalization was about 'Illegal Aliens' not legal immigrants or Hispanic-Americans born or...

This scenario is the very one that I'm agonizing over & trying to work up a solution for in my own business. It's good to read about the abundance of caution so many of you are advocating. Me personally, having faced an attacker who wanted to slice me to ribbons with a large kife in a...

I always find the debate over Democrats = anti gun/Republicans = pro gun both fascinating & comical. Politicains on both sides, & indeed the Hollywood elite who predomninatly favor one party, are hipocrits & quite in denial of historical facts on this issue. Thomas Jefferson was in fact the...

You folks have brought to my attention some excellent information. I'm certainly all over the liability insurance issue. As long as all employees who choose to arm themselves are NRA certified & trained all is well there both in terms of liability & legal compliance. I have that already...

@Hugo I spent quite a penny on the upgraded security system with full HD recording to a 48 hr DVR. An unfortunate side effect is once the cameras were installed above the register & behind the counter I got a real good look at just how thin my hair has gotten the last 5 yrs :uhoh:. But...

@Sam1911 I appreciate those sentiments. I already have checked with my insurance carrier on liability issues & that is the reason for the NRA certified training I'll provide. NC state law does allow for 'Stand Your Ground" situations but of course one need only look to Florida for a good...

So I think I've settled on the 9mm for it's practicality & easier to handle properties. The 40 S&W & 45 I think might be overkill as mentioned earlier. That is not to say I don't like them or favor the 9mm. But I have to consider what would be easiest to train with & I think the 9mm is a better...
