I use a boresnake as the first step even if I am going to field strip and use patches and brushes. Not only saves time, it is one more confirmation that there is no round in the chamber before disassembly.

In the summer, mostly an Airweight, sometimes XD40sc. Once I'm wearing a jacket, I generally switch to the XD and only occasionally use the Airweight.

One gun is usually unlocked when I'm home, usually on my person during the day. At night, and when it isn't on my person it sits on the pistol safe near the bed. When I'm not home or when I have guests, unattended guns are locked.

J frame or XD40sub, depending on what I was carrying that day. There's night sights on the XD, so if the J frame is on duty, it will likely be only until I get the safe open.

Could the manufacturers keep firearms from California law enforcement? They can refuse direct sales and raise the cost a bit, but what's to prevent a department from buying from an Arizona distributor?

I have a small 2 shelf pistol safe. Carry guns not in use stay loaded on the bottom shelf. Recreational guns stay unloaded on the top shelf, even if they would make good self-defense guns. While I believe it would be marginally safer to store guns unloaded, this tiny advantage is...

How are the 4 rules handled by employees at gun shops in your area? Here, when I ask to see a handgun, they will generally chamber-check, keep their finger off the trigger, but point the muzzle right at me when they hand it to me. This isn't one shop, but most of them when I've asked to see a...

I've got TFO Tritium Fiber Optic sights on my XD subcompact. Bright under almost all lighting conditions--Exception some bright indoor areas where most of the light is coming from the sides rather than overhead. They reduce the sight radius a bit, so if you are target shooting with a 3"...

In Ohio with a CHL while in a car, I may keep my gun in a holster attached to my person, or in a container with a lid. If I move the gun from the holster to the container while operating the car on public roads, it is a felony, even if I am the passenger. If the gun is in a locked container I...

I also remove all compatible ammo from the room before I dry fire indoors. That includes my carry gun if applicable-If I'm going to clean my wife's XD, I put mine in the safe and grab a pocket gun of a different caliber instead. We live on the first floor, and I'll point at a specific area...

I went through USAF basic in 84. Half a day classroom training on the M16, then half a day at the range. Range time was done with an M16 converted to .22 rimfire. First time I'd ever shot a real gun, and the targets seemed large and close for a rifle--I'm pretty sure they were at least 10...

General Daily Carry: Concealed only, only with valid CHL. Some sort of minor but annoying penalty if your gun is noticeable to an ordinary person, repeated violations will lose campus carry privilege. Guns in residences: Roommates must agree. Roommates may be shuffled to accommodate. If...

1. Guns must be carried on the person, appropriately concealed and holstered at all times in a properly fitting quality holster covering the trigger. 2. Guns may not be removed from their holster or exposed at any time, except to place the gun in approved storage if provided. 3. All...

Take a look at the Ruger 22/45 as well--Designed to roughly mimic the feel of a 1911, with controls in roughly the same places. Mine isn't fussy about ammo--works fine with the cheap 550 packs from Walmart. I have had several fail to fires, but all from the same box of ammo.

CZ-52. Bought it primarily because of the odd locking system. It's the most unergonomic pistol I've handled--Grip feels like a deck of cards, stiff single-action trigger, and oddball ammo.

Thanks for the responses. Odd coincidence--I asked this question on another forum, but they crashed before I got answers. Shortly after I asked here, I couldn't connect...

Do you have a roughish estimate of what percent in your area post? I'm trying to get a feel if Ohio's dealers do it unusually often.

In Ohio, of businesses that are not legally required to ban carry, car dealers are by far the most likely--Possibly as many car dealers as all other businesses combined, I'd guess 20% or more post in my area. We just got rid of our stupid "open carry or locked case only" car carry laws--I'm...

I conceal to avoid man with a gun calls, and so criminals don't know until it is too late. The chance of a criminal recognizing me from here is nearly nonexistent.

Age 42. Gun experience: First time shooting a real firearm was USAF basic training. Had an Indiana CHL in the late 80's, sold the gun and was without until about a year ago when I bought my first (of 5, so far) pistols and got an Ohio CHL. Gun Education: NRA Basic Pistol, Advanced CCW class...
