Having a gun in your car, while under the influence in OH
So I was reading up on my gun laws and found something interesting in the Ohio Revised Code.http://ift.tt/2tvyh0v D says:(D) No person shall knowingly transport or have a loaded handgun in a motor vehicle if, at the time of that transportation or possession, any of the following applies: (1) The person is under the influence of alcohol, a drug of abuse, or a combination of them.Does this mean that if I decide to have a drink with with my friends and I lock my gun in my safe(under the passenger seat) that I am in violation since it would be loaded? Because Ohio's definition of "unloaded" would require the Mag and Gun to be separate (section (K)(5)). That means I would essentially have to lock my gun up in the trunk to be within the law?Not asking for legal counsel, just wondered if others interpreted it the same via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2utIkQP
Does anyone have USCCA? Opinions?
Ive been considering getting something like this for the past couple of months and I am still kind of skeptical about it. Is it worthwhile to have something like this? Are there any better 'gun insurance' companies? via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2u8ZPXA

Main CCW (Makarov PM) fired automatically twice in a row at the range today
Before I get down to business, I'll give y'all a little bit of background. I carry a 9x18 Makarov PM with 8+1 made by the Soviets in the 90's. Ive previously put a few hundred rounds through it before carrying it and not a single failure to feed. I've been carrying for the last month and a half legally but only just turned 21 and was able to buy more ammo at the store without dragging a friend along. I've also just been paid, so I was able to go out and get all the ammo I needed.Since starting to carry, I've left my pistol in its holster sitting out on my nightstand. I always leave the fan running and the combination of a well oiled gun and the dust from the apartment had been making for a dusty gun every morning. I really do mean it was filthy. So I started covering it with a handkerchief to protect it at night and gave it a clean. Now, I wanted to know how it would fair at the range, knowing that Makarovs are real Soviet troopers, so while I've bee going out and drinking since I turned 21, I've left it on the table collecting dust each night. Spinning the magazine you could literally feel the gritty dust grinding on the sides.So, I took her to the range today and emptied that magazine. It fired 7 rounds fine, but the eight round got stuck in the slide after ejecting. I thought "that was odd, but that ammo was filthy anyway. Better keep it clean, duh!" I reloaded the magazine and gave it to my sister,who I intended on teaching to shoot today. I had gone over gun safety with her on the drive to the range and loaded up a single shot in the magazine for her first few rounds down range. It shot fine like I would have expected. I loaded a full magazine and handed her the gun again. When she heard the trigger I heard a Blouch! Blouch! and one round hit the target and the other hit the cement roof. She was still aiming downrange with her finger pulling the trigger all the way back. I took the gun and unloaded it while I tried to think of what to do. Later I realized that (with the safety on) the trigger pulls a hell of a lot more than it did two years ago when I got the gun. It's supposed to be impossible to pull the trigger or operate anything with the safety engaged.My question is, what happened? It's not safe as a CCW in its current state, is it? Can I replace some internals to get it back to a safe state? Was it something my sister who is new to firearms accidentally did? I doubt that last bit. Any tips are much appreciated! via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2u8lRJJ
Question about waiting periods.
I live in SC and my wife is currently waiting for her CWP to come in the the mail. She sent it off on March 27th and today marks the 90th actual day from when they should have received it (it usually takes 2-3 days for the USPS to get the letter from here to Columbia). My question is, is the wait period 90 actual days or 90 business days? In our laws I didn't see where it differentiated between business or calendar, just that it will take at most 90 days from the date it was received.Should I be emailing SLED to check on the progress? Or am I to wait until August 3rd for it to come in?Also, if I posted this in the wrong sub, I'm sorry. I just figured y'all would know, or at least know of a subreddit that I could post in. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2sqi25D

Quick Stupid Question about Backpack Guns & CCW
If you're walking around with an AR-7 or similar survival rifle in your backpack would that be concealed carrying? It's not in a state capable of firing when in the backpack.I'm 99% sure if having a handgun in your backpack would be concealed carrying unless it was in a case with a lock? Where is the line between transporting and carrying? How strictly are things that enforced? Or is it all a situational gray area that depends on your intentions and who "catches you".Say I biked out to the local gun shop and pick up a handgun after passing the instant background check since there's no waiting period in my state (Virginia) I hop on my bike with the gun and ride home. On the way back from the shop I get pulled over for running a stop sign on my bike. I give the cops a heads up I just bought a hand gun & it's in the original hard case with the factory lock in my backpack. I imagine in that situation I'm not breaking any laws aside from the minor technical traffic one. But If it wasn't in a case & locked I'd be a different situation?I know with cars generally if it's in your trunk and out of the reach of the driver you're just transporting but if you're not traveling in car how are things handled?Just curious I have a car- don't own a gun since I'm just in a kinda shit college apartment with 3 roommates in a safe quiet town. Might get a .223 bolt range gun but have no immediate plans on getting a handgun/CCW/or ending up in the situation I just described. Just a random shower thought. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2u7Dx8y
Carrying on Hikes
Hey everyone. I'm just curious how many of you go on hikes and what you carry when you go. If this applies to you, what are you carrying, what holsters have you used, which have the best retention, and any other accessories that have made carrying on long treks easier/more comfortable.Thanks in advance. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2u7o9ZG

Help with researching state CCW laws
Hey folks, wondering if anyone can point me towards a resource for doing detailed research on state CCW laws. Here's what I'm after. I live in Maine. It is legal for me to consume alcohol and carry just as it is legal for me to consume alcohol and drive. And the same limits are applied. If I'm too drunk to drive, I'm too drunk to carry. The result is that it's perfectly legal for me to take the wife out for dinner and carry, but if I'm going out with the guys and pounding beers and catching a lift home, I don't carry.This week wife and I went to dinner in NH and I was carrying. It's perfectly legal for me to carry in NH. And handgunlaws.us gave me a quick answer that it's legal to carry in a restaurant serving alcohol. But since they apply a blanket policy of "don't carry and drink" they don't describe this specific aspect of the law. I've made several attempts now to search for the specific law and clauses, but haven't had any luck. ME lists these right on the state web page covering CCW. I'd also like to determine these details for VT.Can anyone point to me a method/resource for efficiently accessing state CCW laws? via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2suOvTH
(Guns & Ammo) Which do you prefer? M&P Contact vs M&P Shield vs XD 9mm?
Does anybody have experience with all of these? I've effectively narrowed down my search to those three, and have a few questions:Which is the smallest, and is it too small for a relatively large guy with large hands?Which do you prefer and why?And what is a good holster for the XD if i go with that?How do you guys feel about the LCP? I have a skinny frame and wear fitted clothes, so the smaller the better. However i do understand it isn't the best gun for stopping power.Thanks! via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2txRcbL

[Scenario] Pulled over carrying, Michigan, Wayne County
With the recent talk about encountering law enforcement and it’s impact on CCW, I thought I’d share my story.Yesterday I was pulled over for the first time (I’m 27). Livonia patrol officer said he clocked me 14 over in a 30. Im not going to get into if I was going that fast or not, but lets just say I wasn’t.Officer said good afternoon, said he stopped me for speeding, next words out of my mouth were “Officer, before we go any further, I wanted to let you know that I have a valid CPL and my pistol is in the center console of my truck”. All he said was “that’s fine”. He asked for my license and I said “officer, I’m going to reach into my back pocket and get my license, is that okay?” He said yes. Rest of the traffic stop was fine. I did get a ticket, but he only wrote me for 5 over. Said he can’t remember the last time he pulled someone over with no driving record -_-The officer was polite, and efficient, couldn’t care less about my pistol, didn’t ask for my CPL, my insurance, my registration, nada. He even gave me instructions on how to get the ticket reduced. It’s a know speed trap and they want their money, and I accept responsibility for not paying enough attention to my speed. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2uracp5
A New Zealander interested in the American rationale behind carrying guns everywhere
G'day folks. Relatively new to reddit and saw a post from this thread on the popular section. I've always been curious as to why people are so obsessed with carrying guns around in the US.Now I'm a police officer here in New Zealand and we don't carry firearms around, only have them in the boot of our patrol vehicles for when they're required (which isn't often).I'm proud of the fact that in our country firearms are strictly monitored through licences and are difficult for people to get (including criminals).Anyway I wanted a bit of back story to explain my situation so that some of you could explain yours. So why is a firearm so necessary to be carried around day to day? Not being critical just curious as to why you carry one around.Cheers. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2s9itgg
Considering a weapon-mounted light for CCW, looking for advice...
I have been researching different options for weapon-mounted lights for my carry pistol, a CZ P-07.The one with the ideal physical footprint is the Surefire XC-1, but I have read about it having reliability problems, in addition to being more expensive than other options.The one that seems to be reliable, affordable, and reasonably small is the Streamlight TLR-3.I'm planning to carry this in a single-clip full kydex IWB holster at around 8:00 - 9:00 (lefty), probably one from JM Custom Kydex which offers such holsters for my gun with that light. I'll probably also get an OWB for it in the future. I have seen other options for weapon-mounted lights that might be considered over the TLR-3, but I need compatible holsters... left-handed P-07 holsters for lights X, Y, or Z may be hard to find.I am also concerned about holster retention relying on the light rather than the trigger guard...Any feedback would be appreciated. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2sob54R
Airplanes and Ammunition: A Grievous Mistake
Earlier this week, I took my first commercial flight EVER to watch someone married to the love of their life. I had ridden in a single engine plane to go skydiving once, but I knew this flight wouldn't be anywhere near comparable to that. I was really nervous about how my interaction with the airport TSA agents would go in the days leading up to my flight because I had to bring a few necessary medications that I was afraid they'd find reason to confiscate. I knew that my fear was completely illogical, but I couldn't shake the thought that, if they did decide to, it would be absolutely devastating for me. After multiple calls to the TSA headquarters to confer with a very patient and understanding employee, I was convinced that I had taken all of the proper steps to ensure a hassle-free flight. My liquids were bagged, my prescriptions were properly labeled and stored, and I carefully inspected and packed my luggage (twice) to ensure that nothing that could possibly make me appear sketchy made it in... so I thought.I was going through the motions at the TSA checkpoint of the airport --- sent everything I was carrying through the x-ray machine, stood inside the body scanner, got patted down and cleared, the works. While I was finishing putting on and tying my shoes, I realized that my bag wasn't anywhere to be found. I asked the TSA agents if it was still in the machine, and they said yes and it would just take a second. Well, as that second passed, I watched one agent whisper to the other and his face lit up like a kid on Christmas morning! The agent told me that he needed me to step off to the side and that I needed to wait as he inspected my bag further. I didn't think anything of it until he said, "Sir, do you own a 9mm handgun?" I paused for a second and said, "I carry a 9mm concealed most places, but I definitely don't have it with me because I'm going to a less-than-gun-friendly state. I left it locked up at my apartment." A wave of fear washed over me, I was scared that maybe I put it in my bag without realizing it somehow and now I was about to go to jail!Then, the agent says to me, "Well, sir, it seems you managed to bring a handful of ammunition in this side pocket here. We're going to have to call this in, so I hope you weren't planning on boarding anytime soon." At this point, I was nervous and relieved at the same time. Relieved that I didn't bring my gun, but nervous at how serious having a few rounds with me could possibly be. As we waited for the responding police offer to arrive, the agent opened up my bag to retrieve the ammo. He initially had some trouble trying to get them out, but managed to get them out with some effort. He pulled out (4) 45 ACP rounds and said that he was mistaken about the caliber, and I was immediately upset by his words. Those rounds belonged to my father, who passed away when I was younger. Last year, I took possession of a 1911 handgun that belonged to him, and those were the rounds that were left in it before he died. I thought I had misplaced them, but it turns out that there is a little hole in the lining of my bag's side pocket that they'd slipped into.When the officer arrived, he asked who I was, where I was flying and why, etc. and explained to me the seriousness of the situation and that I could be in some legal trouble. I explained to them that it was an accident, that I had never flown before, and most importantly, that those rounds had a lot of sentimental value to me. Both he and the TSA agent were very respectful and understood that my being in possession of the ammunition wasn't purposeful or malicious in any way. The TSA agent even went so far as to say, "There's no way he could have known the ammo was in there while he was packing. I only found them because they showed up on the screen, they slipped between lining."Luckily enough, the officer told me that he was going to make a report of the incident and take a picture of me and the evidence, but wasn't going to charge me. After listening to both the agent and me, he believed that it was all a big mistake and that I didn't have some big plan to takeover the plane with 4 bullets and literally nothing else but clothes. Even though they did confiscate and destroy my dad's bullets, I consider myself very lucky and I'm happy with the way it turned out.In the end, I managed to escape a misdemeanor arrest/charge because of a few mitigating factors and fair judgement. I'm definitely going to buy a new bag should I ever need to take a flight in the future, but I walked away with a newfound respect for the TSA and the officers patrolling major transport hubs. It may sound stupid, but I'm glad that they are good enough at their job that they can catch a few small bullets while rushing to scan dozens of items at once and serving thousands of people every day. I consider myself a good person and a law abiding citizen, but some other person might try to sneak through a small .380 hoping they won't notice, and that could result in a tragedy. I'm sure I'm going to be on some list somewhere for years to come because I had a hole in my bag, but I'm happy knowing that the people guarding our airways are competent, respectable people despite popular opinion. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2t7CPrL

how paranoid should i be?
I've just recently became a father. today actually (6/29/17). As such i've been prepping for a few months a more secure home defense situation other than just a pistol in the night stand (in a holster). Our master is 4 feet from the front door, which has glass side windows. so it's a front door to a room door, so i have a few seconds.I now have a hornady shotgun hd safe. basically it blocks the chamber so that it cannot physically cannot load a round. see here: http://ift.tt/2t71LQ5, since it's a shotgun, i have a 20 round sling and a 6 round carrier. A bit of overkill, but still. As such it's blocked from shooting, but obviously the shells on the sling and the carrier are accessible and can be grabbed. My son was born today so i have over a year before he can even think about crawling.Do other fathers/families/ccwers/hd people consider this an issue necessitating fixing immediately? all my other firearms are in a safe. I'm good for a year based on anatomy, but just want opinions if i should save up for a quick access safe/hd center safe, etc. sooner rather than later. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2smTYAH

PSA: Dear God, please get training.
Went to the range yesterday to practise. There was a guy who checked in ahead of me who had just bought a Glock for home defence. He was talking to the staff member who checked him in, and got a bit of extra help. It was this guy's first time at the range ─ ever.So...he was put in the lane next to mine. This was an adventure. I was sort of praying at first that the wall between lanes was strong enough, cos I had a bad feeling about this.First indicator something was not good: The guy had never been to a range before, so he asked me how to put his paper up. Ooookay. Which was something I didn't mind showing him. I did find it dismaying that the guy was trying to clip the paper diagonally to the angled bits of cardboard, rather than the level parts. Corrected that, helped him figure out the motorised track system, then went back to my lane.Then, apparently because I was helpful, he came over and asked me the correct way to load his magazine. I started demonstrating how to do it, and in the end I found out that he actually didn't need the whole drill, but "just" wanted to know if he was putting the cartridges in facting the right direction. (No, I'm not kidding.) He went on to shoot. He seemed to be an okay shot for someone who was totally green. I didn't see him miss the paper at three yards (where I started him, advising him to focus on fundamentals first).Then came the hilarious part. He came over and asked me why his 'clip' (I gently corrected him, lest he run into a real gun fanatic later) kept falling out almost every time he fired. At this point, logic said he was likely hitting the mag release while shooting, due to improper grip. I went through proper grip, as well as indexing (which he questioned the safety of, ironically, so I explained, and also highlighted the four pillars of safety). He went back to his lane, and that must have been it, as he apparently no longer had the problem.I actually walked behind him to see how he was doing, and saw him rack the slide. He was riding it forward. soft sigh I gently clued him in to the need to let it slingshot and why. Ironically, and as if the universe sought to drive home my point, he immediately had what appeared to be a double-feed, at which point I said he should place the gun on the bench facing downrange and go get the RSO, because I wasn't comfortable clearing anyone else's malfunctions.In speaking with him, I found out that he lived in a bad area where there had been break-ins and break-in attempts, and he had just bought the Glock at a pawn shop for home defence and open carry in Kentucky.Now, what gets me is that he could obviously afford a firearm, he walked in and paid with a crisp $100 bill (and barely dented it), but he didn't bother to get training. It's the same range at which I received my own training, so there's really no reason not to. To his credit, he at least was trying to figure it out on his own before he needed it, rather than just wing it when his life was on the line. Which is good, but he could have gone so much farther than he did if he'd spent $50 and two hours with an instructor.If you're new, and you haven't sought training, please, please do so, for your safety as well as the safety of those around you. Buying a firearm for self-defence, I'm totally onboard with that. However, simply buying one is only the beginning of the process. It should be a life-long endeavour you commit to, in terms of training, education, keeping up to date with the laws, etc. Be able to defend yourself, but please seek at least minimal pistol safety and operation training.One problem I've noticed in this community is that everyone seems to jump in asking about the best holsters, belts, carry positions, etc. You occasionally see someone ask about defensive training. It's rare that I see anyone pop in and ask about basic safety and operation training. I'd love to see someone hop in and ask, "Where's the best place to learn self-defence law?" No, training and the law are not as sexy as the actual gear and such. However, they're just as imperative.You can't expect to defend your life properly or successfully if you don't have the fundamentals down. Before a certain point, you're more of a hazard than a help to yourself. So please, do seek at least basic training, if you haven't already. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2sm7vZ0
Question about Campus Carry law about to take effect in Georgia
On Saturday the campus carry law in Georgia takes effect and I was wondering if anyone had more details about how it works as google doesn't seem to be of much use.

How are you guys in Georgia that are on campus handling this new law? via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2uosg33

Convincing someone to carry- real world example
I see a lot of posts on this sub about how you convince your mother/girlfriend/sister/friend whomever to carry. I wanted to share a story about a good friend's experience.About three weeks ago my friend (we'll call her Melissa) was having dinner with several other female friends. While they were sitting down eating, a male walked over and tried to buy them drinks. They weren't interested and were just having dinner. After dinner, my friend leaves and heads home where she lives alone. A little background, she lives in an upper class neighborhood. One of those "it could never happen here" neighborhoods. Around 11:30pm that evening, the man from the restaurant shows up at her house and says that his mother lives down the street and that he needs help. Melissa doesn't open the door and sends him away. Yes, she should have called 911 at this point. Coulda shoulda woulda, but she didn't and went to bed. At 3:30am, Melissa heard someone outside at the front door. Heading downstairs, she can hear and see that someone is making their way around her house. The same man from the restaurant is back and trying to break into her garage. At this point, she calls 911. In the 4 minutes it takes the police to arrive, the man makes his way to her back door and trying to break in that way. Luckily the police arrive and take him down and into custody. He is charged with several misdemeanors.Fast forward to court yesterday. While Melissa is waiting in the lobby for the trial to start, the guy who tried to break in is brazen enough to approach her and say this is all a misunderstanding. He was so belligerent he had to be detained once again. Because of his actions, a felony burglary is tacked on to his charges and he is heading to criminal court.However- he is out until his court date. If he was willing to approach her while awaiting his trial in front of police, who knows what he would do in the middle of the night. Melissa has gone, in 24 hours, from saying that guns are bad to "oh my gosh can you please help me learn how to shoot and defend myself etc".The tl;dr is that you never know what could happen. We all have to be our own first responders. Stay safe out there! via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2slmdzu
Suggestions - Concealed carry backpack for college student
Georgia gets campus carry on the 1st of July. USG Guidelines seem to REQUIRE concealed carry. Thus I have no intention on body carry that has any chance of accidental/incidental 'revealing' (oops my shirt came up over my IWB holster - darn, this shirt material is printing badly). I personally already own IWB and chest holsters (Taurus PT709 if you were wondering) - Please refrain from dismissing backpacks as a good option. I'm aware it's off body and that can be a security concern. Myself, my backpack never leaves my side.So - a CCW backpack for students. Suggestions? Concerns? Warnings?Must fit a 15" laptopMust fit at least one textbook and one 1-1.5 inch binder. (My preference is as small as practical - College students don't usually carry more than one class's book/notebook at a time. Heck, physical textbooks are on their way out in favor of digital course texts)Must have a dedicated CCW compartment/pocket (must not reveal firearm at any time - keeping pistol in the same pocket as a TI calc is a no go)Prefer velco (hook and loop) in the CCW pocket. It allows any hook and loop holster, mag holder, etc to be used.Here is a not-so-cheap option as an example. So, are their less expensive options? Better options? Thoughts? via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2u2HqLN

Carrying as cab driver
So really I'm driving for lyft and Uber. I've read that Uber does not approve of the use of firearms which is bullshit. I should be able to protect myself.. hell even the extra police officer at my LGS gave me pointers! A downside of Uber is being a valet for drug addicts and living somewhat near one of the major heroin cities, my life is more important than a job. I have pepper spray first and my CCW if it comes to that.. my question is a lot of the time people will sit passenger if not in the band and being right hand dominant would provide some problems if I was forced to draw like that all they'd had to do is grab my arm (I'm a small skinny young man) so has anyone else had to switch to their off hand for better access to their weapon? I have a glock 43 as my CCW if anyone is wondering. I pray I never am forced to used it but god forbid that time comes I won't let anyone take me from my wife and step daughter. Where should I hold it on my person and since I'll be sitting down for 4-8 hours a days a comfortable holster would be awesome! via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2sUyIAP

Original LCP issues... ready to throw the thing out
Hi all. I bought a LCP Gen 2 (Not LCP II) last week for $190 shipped. First thing I did was put a hogue grip on it. I got it to the range for the first time today. First mag went well with Hornady hollow points. Second mag I put in some Blazer Brass and on the second round the trigger locked up. I am still confused as to what happened. The trigger became COMPLETELY dead after the first portion of the trigger reset. I removed my finger from the trigger guard figuring maybe I just didn't let the second 'click' happen. Nope. Completely dead gun. I racked the slide and dumped the round and the rest of the mag worked. Next mag I went back to the Hollow points. First round fine. Second round FTE.Sigh. I feel like a nimrod for buying a cheap pocket .380. There is no way I could trust my life to this thing. I just wanted something I could carry in deep concealment or for when I need to run across the street in a hurry and don't want to put on a belt and cargo shorts to carry my PCR IWB.I am open to any other suggestions on better pocket guns. I'd just get a J-frame and be done with it but I don't think that's going to work in jeans.Any tips? I will eat the cost of the gun, I don't care. I can't settle for questionable reliability in a carry gun. The FTE could be limp wristing I suppose. But the completely dead trigger? I can't figure out what happened there. The double reset is a big issue for me as well. This was definitely a foolish purchase on my part and I accept that. Never shot one before, only handled in the store. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2sjqgMN
Calling all Vegas Residents!
My flight leaves tomorrow so I hope someone who lives in vegas reads this. I will be staying at Treasure Island for a few nights. Is it worth bringing my gun? I already know Nevada recognizes Ohio CCW but do you honestly think I will need it? My wife thinks i'm stupid for wanting to bring it... via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2t2Nkws
AIWB Carry?
I've currently been carrying just above my right back pocket (About 4 o'clock) but I've been thinking about AIWB, but it just seems extremely uncomfortable and I don't want to bury $90+ into a holster for it if I'm not going to like it. What're the pros and cons of AIWB carry?To me it seems like it would just poke and prod your leg/abdomen when you stand and sit. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2sov9Q5
Ruger LCP2 stock pocket holster used as IWB?
Anyone have any thoughts on this. Not worried about it falling out as the pistol seems nice and secure when in the original pocket holster inserted in the waistband. Just not sure if this a smart way to go or not. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2sTevLV
Springfield XDe
Just wondering if anyone here had a chance to shoot the XDe yet and if so what you thought about it?I've been pondering getting one to replace my S&W 6904 (slimmer, lighter, etc). None of the ranges around here have them for rent yet. I've held one and it seemed okay. The double stack 6904 fills my hands better, but with the mag externder I think it will be okay.Trying to decide by Friday before the end of the gear-up offer. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2tqOZij
Anyone else have holes in their britches from carrying with a threaded barrel?
Threaded http://ift.tt/2tr5knp've been using patches but there has to be a better way. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2u0ftnN
Car Carry
I'm a government employee who works in a facility which doesn't allow concealed inside the facility. I carry a Springfield XDS with a StealthGear holster for CCW but I don't utilize it during the workweek obviously so I end up leaving it in the glovebox of my truck in the same StealthGear holster which isn't ideal since it's hard to remove the handgun from the holster when it isn't tucked under a belt. Id like to have some sort of holster in my glovebox or somewhere close by so that I don't just have the firearm exposed. Any ideas? via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2tZTCNr
Quick question about holster belt clip.
I bought my first holster from JM Custom Kydex and it was a IWB #3 holster for my Glock 19 that uses 1.5" soft belt loops. I really hate fumbling around to clip my holster to my belt together. I thought about buying a single 1.5" inch clip for my new holster.Can anyone chime in that uses the 1.5" clips for their holsters? via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2tqhixq
What if you forget your wallet?
I remember my wallet like 99.9% of the time but occasionally (like today) I get caught up in getting the kids out the door etc and might forget it. Now with that said I NEVER forget my CCW. What do you do if have that "oh crap I'm carrying without my permit" moment? Do you lock it up in the car? Switch to open carry? I guess it depends on the state. Alabama might be a little more lenient than others. This is why damn CCW permits are retarded. I wish we had them digitally like insurance cards on an app. Oh well, just some frustrated musings from someone who forgot their wallet today... via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2siz6dy
Looking for a two day training course near Dayton ohio
Title says it all. I k ow there is a lot of Ohio people on here. I see that TDI is the best in the area but it's just over two hours away from me and I'd much rather not stay in a hotel. Anyone know of a course within an hour or so from Dayton? I would say my skill level is intermediate. I go to the range regularly, dry fire consistently, and practice shooting from concealment. Thanks in advance. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2sRz7E2
