Gun owners
Gun owners
I wanted to start this thread to find out how many members are gun owners and ask a few questions?
- Do you own pistols, long guns, assault weapons, antiques, etc?
- Conceal carry, if so, what is your preferred choice?
- Method of cc, I.E; waist, ankle, butt crack, crotch, etc?
- Target shooting, personal protection or just like guns?
I currently own one - Kimber ultra carry II .45 ACP but find it a little heavy for everyday carry. I am considering selling or trading it in for a S&W Bodyguard .380 semi.

Re: Gun owners
I don't own any weapons nor do I feel a need to, but I defend any American's right to own one.
Just for the record, I've considered a pistol many times, but always spent my money on tools.

Re: Gun owners
My answer for question 1 and 4 are YES I carry a Taurus 1911 .45 with Crimson Trace Grips as my CC. I have a high ride holster that my belt runs through for daily use and when Riding I use a Police Style under the arm holster so that it stays concealed but allows easy access should I need it. I have it loaded with star fire Hollow points
Who says building a border wall won't work?!? The Chinese built one over 2000 years ago and they STILL don't have any Mexicans ...
Re: Gun owners
My daily carry weapon is a Sig p938 Nightmare 9mm. It's probably smaller than a S&W Bodyguard. I carry it in a Recluse pocket holster. Preferred carry ammo is Hornady Critical Defense 135gr.

YES,YES,YES,YES, YES

Probably 97% I carry Glock 23 another 2% when too dressed up to conceal the Glock I carry Walther PPS also 40cal and the other 1% can vary between a couple wheel guns and a couple other autos.

IWB, I have many holsters that I've bought and tried but I like my Brigade Gun Leather IWB best. Expensive and takes well over a year to get but worth it
- Target shooting, personal protection or just like guns?
YES, YES, YES
I currently own one - Kimber ultra carry II .45 ACP but find it a little heavy for everyday carry. I am considering selling or trading it in for a S&W Bodyguard .380 semi. Kimber is a very nice choice, your right it is heavy. Heavy has a lot of benefits but CC makes a little more difficult. A good quality holster can help with size and weight ... I conceal everyday, some of the handguns I carry are larger and heavier then your Kimber
I would discourage the use of any 380 for primary carry weapon but if you really want a 380 I'd go with Sig Sauer just because reliabilty issues with the SW BG ... As others I use Hornady Critical Defence for ammo.

Re: Gun owners
I have several handguns both autos and wheel guns that I carry concealed now and then but now that our wonderful NY state government has passed a law that auto clips can only be loaded with 7 rounds one might as well carry a wheel gun . Wheel guns are more dependable anyway . I'm thinking of buying a 410 Judge . I know it's a large handgun but at close range , wow .

Is your CC License for "county" or is it valid throughout the State of NY? Does it expire/how long is license valid? Do you think with all the stupid crap being pushed through the legislative they will continue to issue license to you guys or go the way of IL with NO CARRY? I'm legal to carry in most states (I have multiple licenses) but NY, NJ, CT and MA I always have to unload and lock up ... when passing through
They sure don't get it ...

Don , my carry concealed permit is only for NY state and as far as I know it's forever unless these assholes come up with another new law . I know it's risky but I have carried in other states .

That is great it is valid through the entire State ... NY will not issue an out of state permit and I hear even resident permits are VERY difficult to get. You should look into a non resident FL or UT permit ... with either one of those it would make you legal in a good part of the country. There will always be a couple States that just plain SUCK and could care less about our SECOND AMENDMENT rights and won't honor the permit ... but many more that do honor them! I have PA, FL and NH and I carry 99% of the time.

Re: Gun owners
Don , I forgot to mention that I can't carry in NY city . The main place where you would probably need a gun . Go figure .V-MAN wrote:Jack -hogv8 wrote:V-MAN wrote:hogv8 wrote:I have several handguns both autos and wheel guns that I carry concealed now and then but now that our wonderful NY state government has passed a law that auto clips can only be loaded with 7 rounds one might as well carry a wheel gun .

I should apply for non resident or UT permit before it's too late to make me legal in other states I just haven't gotten around to it .

Re: Gun owners
A lot of states are reciprocal States, Meaning they honor a concealed carry issued from another State. There is a list of states that participate somewhere online and MOST of the southern states are on that list. I never looked in to the northern states as i do not ride much up there very often.

Re: Gun owners
Thanks for the comments so far. Found this online, owners manuals for many guns manufactured except for S&W, their attorneys asked to have them removed.
