I'm using (handload wise) 200 grain XTP in .45 ACP, and commercial ammo is (for occasional carry) is Hornady45 Auto +P 200gr TAP FPD. My handloads are not nearly as powerful as the factory ammo.

Same thing I'm hearing. Bad guys lawyer will swear you loaded elephant rounds in your handgun. I have carried handloads, and not afraid to do so, as (knock on wood) I've never had a "bad" round. It's good to hear these different opinions.

I researched and didn't find anything. How many carry "handloads" in their carry weapon and what bullet? I've heard this was a "no-no". Opinions?

Welcome!

How does "LEO" know that you are LEGALY carrying if he doesn't ask for your permit? They get paid very little to "ASSUME" anything! How does "LEO" know, that YOU aren't JOE SCHMOE the criminal?

Welcome!

Welcome!

Enfield Musket, .577 (58 cal). Very accurate and fun to shoot. This by the way is a "Confederate" Infantry Rifle. SSSSWWWEEEETTTTTT!!!!!!!

I think so! It's bad this year Friends!

If asked for your HCP and you denie it....You'll probably have to scrap your face off the concrete (or whatever the surface you're standing on). I CALL BS on that story!!!

Was standing in the boat fishing and had a tick crawl up my leg...well......

Lids off of tin cans and pieces of sponge makes good detonators also. A 1lb can of *********, a 9 volt ******* and 00, and you can blow someone to **** and back while in a defensive position! Old "ranger" days keep coming back for some reason....

I used a "Dummy Cord" in the Army, but have no interest or reason to use one now!

OK, I'm lost...

I don't O/C because I don't want to be the FIRST TARGET of the BAD GUY in a SHTF situation or any other acronyms you can come up with! I want the UPPER HAND and ELEMENT of SURPRISE. Nothing like the BAD GUY saying "Oh S***" when ya pull your toad on him and he didn't even know you were pack'n!!!

+1 LOL!!!!

I'm in shock about this. I'm still in shock about Steve McNair. What a loss! Both were great people and did good things for the communities.

There's a guy that carries a nickle Ruger GP100 .357 that matches that description. I've run into him at RK and Kroger. His handgun is usualy under a vest with part showing sometimes. He belongs to the Vietnam Veterans Bikers club. If it's the same guy, he tries to conceal but not very well. Last time I seen him, he had a joe s*** gold carry badge on his belt. But I've never seen him completely OC.

I ran into a young guy (probably mid 20's) who was the cockiest, most arragant, rudest person I've ever came across. I hope it wasn't because he was O/C. I don't know how he would act C/C or not at all, but this dude was primed for trouble. This is not the first time I've come across someone with an attitude while O/C. That's why I'm so against it. Maybe if I met someone O/C who wasn't presenting themselves as a hotshot, I might have a differant opinion. It just hasn't happened yet....

I had the Walmart "Greeter" stop me going into the 41 A store and told me I had to "cover up" my weapon". That was the first and last time I open carried. To me it's no big deal and not worth the hassle.

What kind of "corn bread" you eat? Mine is round! Worked on the boat for a few yesterday and plugged in a new "power trim relay" and sparks shot off it. Burned a wire out of the back of the 5 prong female plug. So, last night I went on an E-Bay shopping trip and bought new everything for the relays. Plugs, relays, wires.....and on and on and on....... Maybe that all will fix the problem. That just moved the Bass to $92.00 a pound.

Scum bags!

Have a FAT bank account too! Buy an intertube instead...

No body counts, right? lol
