In this instance, manners and personal relations might trump legalities. How would you feel if the neighbors brought their dog and/or kids to your party? My concealed dog? My concealed kids? The purpose of concealed is to conceal. If you have qualms about this ask the person sponsoring the party. I...

My rule of thumb is that carrying into someone else's home is a breach of etiquette, and I don't do it. An organization I belong to regularly meets in the home of one of the members. My guess is that she would be uncomfortable if she thought I was carrying. I have not and will not ask her. I just l...

A lot of good info in the replies above. I agree with Annoyed Man that the bolt-action rifle is the best all purpose platform. That said, I like levers and pumps, too. While there is some overlap now, generally speaking the levers work best with pistol cartridges and flat-nosed rifle cartridges lik...

It depends on what you mean by "OK". It's legal unless you have received notice. You may want to mention something to the party host if you value the friendship and don't already know their feelings about guns in their home. Again, it depends on whether "OK" means legal, or somet...

I have no experience with these, but will be watching this thread anxiously. I just decided to standardize on a P938 for my BUG. I like the gun, but hate the trigger. There are other things that I would also like to upgrade like adding an extended safety and mag release, but I am having trouble find...

Has anybody ever been charged, much less convicted, for carrying under their LTC while an unpaid volunteer for a neighborhood watch or church security group?

There was one, in Florida.

Are you sure he was charged with a crime for carrying? In addition to the other charges?

I agree with the above posters. If you are asked for ID, then hand over your LTC (DL would be optional). Otherwise, just keep it in your wallet.

1911 Officers model is sold. Glock 19 model is still available if anyone needs a good IWB holster.

In theory I like your idea but under the practical application in the business world, I don't think it would fly. Money drives our society! Business owners are doing everything to keep their pricing down and still make a descent profit. The internet has changed how most purchase products and even t...

Yes.

This assumes that you can legally possess a gun in the first place. The law does not distinguish between loaded and unloaded guns for this purpose.

I finally joined the NRA just last month after hesitating to do so for many years. Personally, my reluctance was because the NRA did not push hard enough for gun rights and seemed too willing to compromise. I finally decided to join out of sheer fear at the loss of all our rights if HRH Hillary succ...

You should be all good! If you have a layover, dont get your bags. No, really! If it comes down the bag drop tell the agent your predicament anf DO NOT TOUCH. Other than that, your all good! Agreed. Just in case there is a missed connection and unexpected overnight stay, make sure you have a change...

How important is reliability in a plinker? It's not like you're relying on it in a life or death situation. I like my Buckmark, but it does fail to fire at least once in fifty rounds. Other than that, it's been totally reliable. It won't feel like your other handguns though. Good point on reliabili...

Coming from someone who votes Democrat while still supporting gun rights, don't any of you think that it might be possible that if the Republican party stopped pushing to pass laws infringing on constitutionally afforded rights that aren't the second ammendment (as decided by the supreme court) thi...
