what?

agreed, not wearing a seat-belt is just plain stupid. What's the point of carrying a gun for protection if you don't bother wearing a seat belt? You are waayyyyy more likely to be involved in a vehicle accident than you are a self defense shooting.

I prefer a combo edge. I recently purchased a combo edge Spyderdo Tenacious, however when it arrived at my house it was a plain edge:mad: So now I'm thinking about buying another one that is ACTUALLY a combo edge. I find that most of the things I cut do better with the serrated edge.

no problem, I thought it was pretty interesting myself but apparently you and I are the only ones

what is a DOT sticker? Department of Transportation I'm guessing? and what was wrong with your helmet? Sorry, I don't know much about this.

I like my xd sc 40. I also recently shot a M&P compact 9mm and was very impressed.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Is there a river near your place? I hope you have flood insurance.

BAHAHAHA Rightwinger I'm pretty sure you put your foot in your mouth on that one!! but you were absolutely correct!

Just when the economy was starting to improve.... I was blown away by the pictures someone posted from that Facebook page.

Farman's a brown noser.....

No offense but after shooting the LCP I would never recommend it to him. But I agree with the idea of something smaller. His job requires that he wear business casual so and no guns are allowed in the building. He has yet to carry anywhere though so I really don't think problem is the weapon. He just needs to WANT to carry.

That is a lie. Everyone recently is getting theirs in about 3 weeks.

congrats, they are definitely getting faster with the permits. Now it's time for the Wally World Walk!

Ya he's been around guns all his life but never had a desire to carry till i got my permit. I think the reason he doesn't carry 1 in the chamber is because he has seen 3 different people shoot themselves on accident. He's very anal when it comes to safety, to the point it's annoying sometimes.

I agree, and I haven't said anything to him yet because I wanted to give him some time. Plus, I'm not really sure how to approach it.

Very well put, I think you summed it up nicely

So my dad got his permit about a month ago and has yet to carry 1 time. I think he has carried the gun in his car a few times but that's it. I'm not sure how to persuade him to start carrying more or if I should just let it go. He won't carry 1 in the chamber even when he's at home with the gun despite the fact that both his guns have a thumb safety. I offered to buy him a nice holster for his Ruger SR9 but he told me it was too big to carry. His other gun is a Beretta 85FS which isn't exactly the most practical carry piece either. He has a decent holster for that gun, and so I know the problem isn't the gun/holster but rather his lack of interest in carrying. I'd like some opinions from some fellow TGOers because a lot of you are closer to his age so maybe you can understand where he is coming from better than I can.

I have been tempted to try their .380 ammo. Cabelas usually has it in stock. Does anyone know how to pronounce the name? I've heard it about 4 different ways.

I have a feeling this poll is going to stay pretty much 1 sided. I don't want to kill anyone, I want to stop the threat. If the person dies as a result then so be it, however it would never be my intent.

drop some lithium batteries in it and it gets even brighter.

It's a little too big to carry in a pocket but overall it's a great light. The strobe feature is blinding! It is currently my night stand flashlight if the power ever goes out.

yes. my manager says he feels safer knowing I carry.

are you all forgetting the fact that these "bars" can opt out of the new law by posting a proper sign? I'm not even sure what is being argued anymore but I thought that should be mentioned. I am personally very grateful for this new law. I work in a Restaurant where we were robbed at gunpoint!!! This is a huge sense of relief for me.
