JRT -- We're still good. My wife and I hold valid resident permits from another state (not recognized by AL, unfortunately); have driver's licenses from another state; vote legally in other states; own real property in another state; have our cars registered in another state; we just got...

Yes -- but living in Coffee.

Thanks, guys. By luck, I happened to be talking to a co-worker and he just happens to have a Coffee County permit. It didn't show any restrictions for anything. Speaking of which, if the permit is unrestricted, does that mean that it would allow carry in all places allowed under AL state...

Hi, folks. I just moved to Coffee County, AL, (military) and I am looking at getting my Resident CCW. Currently carrying on a reciprocal permit from NH, and I am following state law on off-limits sites (very few limits, actually). I'd like to get a sense from anyone here who has such a...

Recommended... The wife has a Kahr K9, which I have shot. I loved the trigger, which is what made me consider the T9. I got an awful price on the K9, so I won't talk about that. I did get a really good price for a NIB T9 from SportingArms in Lewisville, TX. These folks come highly recommended...

Ever since returning to the States (from Europe), I have had a lot more opportunity to practice with my actual carry pistol (CZ P01). I've practiced a variety of grip holds. I've downloaded and bought training videos and montages illustrating these holds, and I find some merit in all of them...

Seems every place I go online, they are "Out of Stock" or don't list this model at all. And forget the local gun shops -- they don't even carry the models that abound on the 'Net. What's the deal? Is Kahr discontinuing the T9, or is it just a momentary "dry spell" for this model?

OK, guys, this one you’re not gonna believe! So, I head down to the courthouse to file for a resident concealed handgun permit (I got a non-resident permit). Since it’s illegal to carry inside a courthouse, I left my pistol and full spare magazine in the car. It’s a PITA to take off the mag...

Did the search thing, but didn't find a good answer. OK, I need a good dress, leather belt for concealed/open carry with an OWB holster. Are there any belt makers that do odd sizes (35, etc.)? Alternatively, I'd welcome suggestions on belt makes where I don't have to size the belt to the...

I'm Afraid... ...that this can't be sliced neatly into a liberal/conservative dichotomy. The will-to-power is alive in adherents on both sides of the political spectrum. While liberals may feel no remorse in advocating unconstitutional means to address "gun violence", I've found that...

I'm not sure that one can assume every "parkway" is a no-loaded-gun zone. This only applies to those "parkways" managed by NPS or those considered part of a state park if your state prohibits concealed carry in state parks. As for the status of an RV in a national park (i.e., "it's my home"...

I'm not sure what the punishment was, but carrying a firearm in a national park is a felony IIRC. (Which means, of course, that the defendant's firearm rights are null) I think (but don't quote me on this) that you can still travel on the highway with your weapon unloaded and in a (locked?)...

I found this thread at opencarry.org (Virginia sub-forum). To make a long story short, a VA CHL holder is driving down the Blue Ridge Parkway in VA; he's stopped by National Park Service, arrested for having a loaded gun in a national park, and convicted; he appeals the decision, arguing that no...

Like the title says, I'm looking for a good, solid, trustworthy FFL in Northern Virginia to handle transfer of two pistols coming from another state. Suggestions gratefully welcomed. :)

Not To Hijack The Thread... ...But it seems that this incident is also making waves among cops. Check out this discussion at the Officer.com "Squad Room" (postings limited to LEOs). This post was interesting: "Contrary to all of their beliefs, and that of the last poster... it is NOT...
