    anyone carry a bersa thunder 380? a couple questions...

    I carry mine with a round chambered and the hammer at half cock. My main concern has been with the hammer getting snagged and falling with enough force to drive the firing pin all the way forward. If it indeed does have a firing pin block, then I'll start carrying with the hammer down.

    Outed By my Mother

    I got outed by mom at the dinner table yesterday. "You know, metallic carries a gun 24/7" :banghead: And this was surrounded by people that barely know me (step-grandmother's very large extended family)

    CCW and relationships

    Girlfriend found out about 3 weeks into the relationship when her son rammed into my 1911 at dinner with his head :what:. But she was cool with it, told me that she feels a lot safer around me knowing that I carry. In fact, she kinda patted me down when I came over today and gave me a...

    Why carry a 1911 in Condition 1 over Condition 2?

    It's mostly just a safety issue. If you want to carry in condition 2, you're going to have to pull the trigger and then lower the hammer on a loaded chamber. One mishap and you're potentially going to have a new hole in the floor. Much safer to simply rack the slide, flip the safety up, and then...

    Tattoos

    I have a relatively large one on my shoulder blade that is non firearm related. I also happen to be a white collar worker (software developer). Just make sure that it's somewhere that isn't visible and it won't be an issue career wise.

    That one night....

    Check the laws in Missouri. In Louisiana, you can use deadly force to stop forced or attempted forced entry into an occupied private dwelling or place of business. Whether or not you choose to use it is based on the circumstances and your own morals on when you are willing to take another human...

    Concealed carriers can be the worst people.

    Can't really say that I disagree with anything that rainbowbob has said in this thread. If you carry a weapon, you owe it to yourself to check your ego at the door when you leave in the morning. This applies if you are carrying that day or not.

    Dan Wesson Bobtail?

    If you don't like it, I'll make an offer. Sounds like a fairly low risk arrangement to me.

    Hostile Response to "No guns - no money" letters?

    It would be interesting to see who posted with hostile responses. That way I know exactly which businesses to avoid the next time I come to visit Arizona. Lovely state, truly wish I could relocate.

    Questions from my Doctor

    I'd either politely refuse to answer his questions or turn it around and start asking HIM questions that go beyond the doctor/patient relationship that make him uncomfortable. Hopefully he would get the idea and stop asking others as well.

    Would You Give Aid

    Like others have said, they're still a potential threat. My goal is to maintain my distance until law enforcement and the paramedics get there. To that end, I feel my only responsibility would be to call 911 and ask them to send help.

    CCW Holster Wear

    I just consider it a badge of pride. It shows that your weapon actually gets used, unlike a safe queen. That said, my 1911 started showing wear after a couple of months in a kydex holster. It bugged me at first, then I got used to it. I can always get it refinished later.

    Ammo Shortage merged threads, aka UberUltraMasterAmmoThreadOfPower

    I'm having a hard time keeping any of my guns fed. I'm going to the range tomorrow with 100 rounds of .45, 50 rounds of 9mm and 50 rounds of .380. That constitutes the majority of my ammunition stash :( Guess it's time to get into reloading, but I don't have any kind of space suitable for...

    I carry every day. About the only time I don't carry is when at church or when at work on a client's property.
