Any CCW people here?

I like the Sticky holster too. Keyboard for scale.

Worse yet as it should be understood that in most every case the perp was not doing as the officer asked.

That is true from what I have seen.

The shouting part of an officers training has to come in question as well.  Shouting raises the tension and lowers the options.

I live in a very small apartment, I barely have enough space for 3 days worth of food.

Anther thing, where I live, there's no hurricanes. No tornadoes, nothing like that. It doesn't snow or rain more than a couple of inches. There's no flooding.

Anyone should be able to keep large bags of rice and beans around with a few jugs of water. Not expensive and could keep you alive for weeks or months in a catastrophic event like an EMP attack.

OK,

That was an interesting read.

I live in California and have a CCW. I have had it for years now and it is in jeopardy due to the Democrat super majority here in the state assembly and senate and governor.

I also carry different depending on day and temperature outside. Here in California we have to disclose 3 weapons and can only carry those. It cost 10 bucks to change it.

I have 3 1911's one an original Colt and one tricked out for speed Springfield Armory TRP. And my Carry one is a Remington R1 Enhanced. I carry that one due to it's smooth outer surfaces and slides in and out of my holster easy.

Yea it is heavy so I purchased some Tactical Tupperware also. I have a Springfield Armory XD in .40

I also have a RUGER in 9mm but do not like the trigger having a long pull on the first round and easy on the rest.

I have many others but those are my carry.

As far as the home defense issue I still have a hand gun near my bed upstairs and another under my desk downstairs. I have 3 shotguns but the amount of damage to drywall and furnishings is too much. I also have a M1A upstairs for the event that S*#T gets serious.

I believe in being prepared. I lived in Oklahoma for 10 years and twice had issues where having some food around was good. We had a severe ice storm that knocked out power for 3 days. After the first day the local grocery stores were empty. Then we had a tornado blow through that took out the grocery store. Ever since I have been someone who keeps stuff around. I have food for a month and water also. lots of ammo  ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE.   

I have tried a lot of holsters but I have really come to love the "belly band" it is movable and I got one with the trigger guard. I carry appendix so it is good to be able to move it around for sitting.

Medical kit? Yes you should have one, you never know when you could be the difference between life and death of someone you love.

Training? YES  as much as you can afford both in time and money. Saving money on education is like stepping over dollars to pick up dimes.

As far as reaction go to those simulators, they are awesome.

Good topic

Thanks for playing

Now back to our regular scheduled program.

    I also am a fan of the belly band. Very comfortable.

Well I myself have made dozens of good decisions under pressure with firearms and Im nobody special. In fact thousands of legally armed Americans make good decisions every day that you never hear of.

You hear the few "allegations" cause they sell newspapers and then somehow transpose those "few allegations" into a thing you call "common" in a country of 330,000,000 people that crosses four time zones. The truth is CCW incidents are extremely rare, I havnt heard of one in a city of 3,000,000 since they instituted the Law. And there is no way to weed out people for bad decisions they might make in the future. The Pre-Crime unit isnt up and running yet.

I wouldnt be so quick to criticize on a subject you seem to know little of. After you chase a gangster for a few blocks, exchange fire with him, find him 10 mins later full of holes and the gun recirculating in the neighborhood armory, then come back and lecture me on the bad decisions Police make. Its gotten to the point the only good decision is to make no decision and as long as he's running away from you why risk your freedom and paycheck?

 

I carry a Glock 20 10mm mostly, some times a Ruger LCR 22

I carry IWB and really like the Alien Gear holsters and the Comp-Tac MTac. I am looking to probably pick up a belly band as well after seeing how well they work.

[KCDitto]

I have an Alien Gear for my 1911. Just to rigid and uncomfortable for getting in and out of the car.  I also have a Serpa but after all the horror stories of the gun getting stuck I do not use that one anymore.

You will love the Belly Band

Rich is was not meant to criticize our law officers just point out the need to weed out the very few bad decision makers.  I so much dislike the prosecution of our law officers when the problem should be focused on the officer selection process.

If you ever find the "perfect world" then give me a call and I'll be there the next day. The "officer selection process" isnt controlled by the officers ; Its controlled by the people you put in office and I cant mention the standards they use cause it violates forum rules. If you think you have a problem with some of the balloon
heads "they" hire you should try working with them.

But its not my problem anymore. My Christmas present to myself, as of today I'll never wear a uniform again. I'll just sit on my big butt collecting a pension and playing Aces High.  is now  .

Merry Christmas.

Congratulations on retirement Rich    I'll be sure to tip one back today and give you a cheers.

Merry Christmas!!
