I never knew him other than someone who gave me generous and wise advice in this forum. I am so sorry to hear this news.

When I was a child in the UK, my mother told me she hated guns because her brother committed suicide with one, long before I was born. As a child, I somewhat shared her anti-gun feelings. Strangely, I played with toy guns and she and my father even bought me a David Crockett outfit when I was...

12 gauge slug .500 mag .44 mag .357 mag 10mm ...or whatever you have to hand.

I'm more accurate with a semi-auto and the semi gives me more rounds -- so long as is not a tiny semi auto. So I prefer to carry a full size or compact semi auto when clothes permit. A snub nose makes a nice backup when possible. However, a lot of the time, I'm limited to pocket carry and then...

I have not found a gun belt that does not warp. But they all warp to my rotund shape so arguably they fit better after warping!

I didn't think it would happen. I had almost given up on IWB. Early experiences were that the gun printed too much unless I wore a tee shirt with a long untucked, unbuttoned shirt over the top -- in which case I might as well carry OWB with more comfort and convenience. Recently, I had another...

My most usual daily carry since I acquired my CHL about 3 years ago is a snub nose in a de Santis Nemesis front pocket holster. The retention (outside the pocket) is such that I can rotate the holster to about 30 degrees below the horizontal without the gun falling out. In a tight pocket I could...

Depends how you dress. In the office, wearing slacks and a tucked business shirt, I find the most concealable gun something that fits in the front pocket. For me, that is a J-frame (S&W M&P 340 CT) - light enough but not ridiculously light. I stoke it with Gold Dot .357 magnum Short Barrel ammo...

I read it as including handguns. If you go down the Special Items page to Sports Equipment, you will see there is a Shooting Equipment category that mentions putting the locked gun case in a soft-sided piece of luggage. But I agree that it is ambiguous and more likely than not intended to cover...

Feedback from OP Well thanks everyone for the advice. I just completed my trip and all went smoothly. Based on the advice, I ran a zip tie through the action. I could not have the pistol locked open because of the way I had shaped the foam in the little Pelican 1170 case. But the zip tie...

Was that at the check-in desk you were asked to show clear or somewhere else? How exactly did you show clear? With hindsight, I should have gone with the Pelican 1450. I didn't realize quite how small the 1170 is.

TSA unhelpful on query I sent these questions to the TSA: The TSA responded by sending me an extract from their website. They completely ignored my two questions, which were asked because their website does not cover these two specific points. :banghead:

I have printed the airline and TSA pages on flying with a gun and will take them with me. Also, I've printed salient concealed carry laws for the states I'm visiting. Plan to also take with me a picture of the gun and a note of its serial number.

Yes, I started with that TSA page and the airline (Delta) website. Then I searched the internet generally but could not find the answers to the questions I posted.

I've sent TSA an email with a question about magazine in gun. If I get a response, I'll post it.

Some very helpful suggestions, though I see we did have a difference of opinion as to whether the magazine could be inside the gun inside the locked box.

I'm about to fly for the first time with a firearm. I'm taking a Glock 23 and magazines. I bought a small Pelican case (the 1170 model) and suitable locks. I've researched for hours and understand most of the requirements but I cannot find answers to these questions: Q1. TSA state "Firearm...

I've had my M&P 340 CT for just over 3 years. The Crimson Trace laser grips have ripped. I believe the warranty is 3 years so I am probably just out of luck. I emailed Crimson Trace in the hope they would stretch a point and give me a replacement but do not appear to have had a reply. So my...

I carry Gold Dot 357 short barrel magnum in mine. I shoot 5 rounds of this at each range visit. Five shots usually rubs the skin off the web of my thumb causing profuse bleeding, which is not fun. It's not a plinking gun when loaded with 357 magnum even in the short barrel variety. But I do...

Nor me until I saw a THR thread that pointed out the substantial likelihood of two or more assailants and the high probability of missing under stress, plus the likely need to hit more than once to put someone out of the fight When you allow for all these factors, you need as many rounds as you...
