Conceal to carry - if so what? Or what do you own?

[QUOTE=PK;214548]Same thing as if you are not the quickest to draw and shoot I guess - you loose.
But at least here, 99.5% of the time, all you are likely to loose is a verbal argument, or a fist fight - not your life.

Hey I thought Australians all carried those big 'ol Bowie Knives...Or did I see that in a movie once...

I too have a Walther PPK/s, but I prefer my Colt Commander and matching Thompson M1A1.

I just feel sorry that you still feel the need to do so.

Although I have the permit to carry, I really never do. 95% of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area (population of about 3 million) is "safe", and even the other 5% isn't that bad until after dark.

Having said that, I know there are other metro areas elsewhere that are not so lucky.

I guess I just feel that guns are a great equalizer for those who are not physically able to defend themselves, and as Marlin said, a means of deterring government tyranny.

I carry a 241mm Merona...



And I have a fire-poker on the side of my bed...

There are too many rules in Chicago. I almost got my CCW when I lived in Vegas, but then I was moving to IL and haven't done anything because we weren't allowed to register handguns in the city up until a month or so ago. I hate this city. Texas here I come!

I am going to be honest, I never would have guessed you would carry a gun!!! Good for you. Some parts of Texas are awesome, and I would love to retire in that area.
I heard that there are still places you can homestead there?

It used to be this, but it proved to be impractical, because I kept drinking the ammo



So looking for something more practical. I found this to be a better solution

And though I lost 15 pounds and water weight. Again 20 in gun

This image caught my curiosity. After a thorough search on the internet, I discovered the above pictured weapon is a total hoax and doesn't exist. Further, the official Barrett Arms website indicate that they only manufacture "rifles" (namely .50 BMG cal Sniper Rifles), and do not manufacture any kind of handgun/pistol platform weapons. Keep dreamin'.

I like guns... I have a few of them.

I have my CCW but don't carry.

I think gun laws keep guns out of the hands of law abiders, but place them in the hands of criminals.

Penn and Teller did a great episode on Bull****! about gun laws.

Posing this idea.

All women (since women are the ones generally preyed upon) should be government issued a handgun that they are required to carry, and that would take care of 95% of the gun crimes.

Who wants to mess with an armed woman. Not I.

If everyone knew everyone else was armed, no one would want to mess with anyone. Guns... the great equalizer.

[Jolly Roger VX'er]

had....key word being HAD....an AMT .30 Carbine AutoMag III by Irwindale Arms for like 10 years and sold it during my last serious relationship (she hated guns).


OH the pain...the pain...



contrary to some of the bad press AMT has gotten...mine performed flawlessly on either new or surplus ammo.

[JHarris1385]

I got a Savage .22 as my first gun....and it has been great. Very accurate.

[Gizmo42]

I got in on this late and didnt read through all the other posts lol. I dont conceal carry yet since I havent gone for my class and permit yet. But when I do I already have what I'll be carrying.

Ruger SR9 Compact. Its 1/2" shorter barrel and 1" shorter grip (with 10 rd mag) then the standard SR9. Loaded with Hydra Shock rounds.


For home defense and open carry while camping I have a Ruger KP944 .40 cal loaded with Hydra Shock rounds.


If I didnt already have the 944 I would get a Ruger SR40 which they just came out with. A .40 cal version of the full size SR9. The SR9c has a bit more snap then the 944 but its more controllable and much lighter and easier to conceal.

I havent become a fan of the pocket pistols yet. I've fired Mikes (protetype) LCP and it hurts my hand. Maybe one day I'll get one anyway. As a side note, the LCP is the exact same size and shape as the Kel-Tec P-3AT. I would rather have the Ruger.

My other toys

Ruger 10/22 - many internal mods


Remington 572 pump action .22


Ruger Single Six .22 LR/WMR


Western Field (Marlin) bolt action 12 gauge shotty


I'm on the hunt for more Rugers. I still want a new model (580 series) Mini-14, a Mini-30, PC9 (9mm) rifle, and PC4 (.40 cal) rifle.
