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

[JHarris1385]

First - lets not get in a debate if it is right or not.

Who carries?
Or if you don't what do you own or what is your favorite gun?

I have a Walther PPKs

But I have my eye on the Walther PK380 with mounted laser.

Side debate if you want.
9mm or .380

As you can see from the above I have a liking of the .380 but nothing against the 9mm, just like Walthers.

I've got an old Ruger p89 and a Smith and Wesson .357 as far as handguns go. I was at one point eyeballing a Walther P99, but never got around to it.

I keep the Smith in my go-bag with two boxes of ammo and the P89 stays close by in the house.

I'd love to buy more, it's just such an expensive collector hobby when I don't get to shoot nearly as much as I did when I lived out in the boonies.

I don't carry in normal every day life, but when I'm out "adventuring" I carry my Kimber .45 Stainless. It's a super sweet gun, and it's size seems like it would be intimidating enough for any person who might want to get funky, and packs enough punch for any attacking animals or zombies.


My wife does keep in her purse a teeny little Kimber .32, it's a tiny gun and I think she is ready to upgrade to that Walther PK380 that JHarris linked us to, laser sight and all. She had handled the P22 but I have been trying to talk her into a larger gun, so she wouldn't have to use all 13 rounds to stop a crack head!

I am licensed to carry (scary thought lol) but dont have room in my purse for the glock 9mm, I have had for almost 20yrs and would love to get a 40 caliber, but I carry it to and from my truck. At home I have a home defender shot gun next to my bed. I dont think larger caliber is necessarily better if you cant shoot it well.

I keep a couple rocks, a walking stick and bat....just kidding. I haven't arrived yet. but several months back I was falling asleep and said to my wife "I'm thinking about getting a concealed weapons permit and a gun" She said...I support you in that. I shot awake thinking my goodness how the world has changed because this came from a woman who didn't even like my deer rifle in the house. So I will get a 9mm some day. nice link to watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hujvV...eature=related

Let me take a moment to tell you all what triggered this. I am a practicing Veterinarian in South Florida and I am contracted by the local health dept to do submissions for Rabies testing for people who have been bitten by dogs cats etc. Several months ago I submitted a Pittbull to the state lab and this is why: This guy was out hunting on a nice afternoon- minding his business and eating a sandwich in the woods. 2 Pit bulls approached him. He thought no problem...nice doggy and offered a piece of his sandwich to the lead dog. The lead dog lunged onto his backed- unexpectedly and sunk its teeth into his backpack waterpack. He says this is what saved his life literally. the second dog joined and got a bite in but the man somehow by the grace of God was able to pull his side arm and killed both dogs. The following day he retieved the body of the dog that bit him by the health dept instructions and brought it to me for submission to the state.

The woods is a nice place only to the nieve (sp). I take a walk alone into unknown areas several times a year only with my walking stick. (this is why i got a VX) A side arm would be smarter. Panthers, black bear, rabid foxes that are nuts and crazy people make being better armed smarter.

HOW TO ATTACH PICS TO A POST & HOW TO EDIT AND ADD PICS TO A POST

~Start a post

~On right side -> it says "My Pics"...click Open

~A new window opens with your pics. At the top of the window there's a a blue header with a drop down box for selecting what size/type attachment...select "Original Image"...it will make the full size pic appear in post.

~You can put up to 20 pics in a single post.

~Separate each pic by a RETURN/ENTER or sometimes they'll end up just displaying left to right, instead of scrolling down....drives some of our members crazy to scroll sideways..

***SOMETIMES**** it won't attach a pic right after you've uploaded them. Don't know why. Sometimes it will about 2 hrs later, sometimes if I close out of the forum completely, then log back in, it will finally attach the new pics in a post. It's a mystery to me.

~You can go back to your post and delete your current attached pics....
~and edit it to attach the full size pics:
~hit EDIT
~then "Go advanced"
~then "My Pics"
~Make sure it's "original Image"
~select your pics by clicking on them.

Carry-conceal? In this way? Hahahahaha....

Chances are slim to none to get a conceal carry around this way. Not completely unheard of, but nearly impossible.

In any case, I pack this....

Bushmaster M4/AR-15 Carbine



Not mine pictured but resembles it. A deadeye at 200yds w/ my new scope.

[technocoy]

My buddy just got one of those. Very sexy beast.

I have a friend that shoots competitively. His AR15 was actually the template weapon used for the new digital blue Navy print you can get for it.

As for pistols, my wife really really wants a Taurus Millenium Pro 111-9mm. A bit expensive, but a very nice gun.

Personally I want the Taurus 24/7 Pro-.40. I dig the round in chamber feature. The new ones have the integrated key lock as well, no extra device to fumble with. I know most guns have gone in that direction for safety and liability reasons.

*sigh*, but not likely anytime soon, the big toys get most of the money and we are still building our survival kits. Just have to stick to hunting rifles for now.
