My wife and I started showing our dogs this year and I've been carrying under the assumption that it is NOT a sporting event. Many dogs are handled by professional handlers, so if it is a sporting event, then adding the word professional isn't a stretch. Since we will be in Art Acevedo's playground ...

I propose

“Common Sense Gun Law”

Or

“Common Sense Carry”.

Re: Can We All Have Differences of Opinion?

On quite a variety of topic some folks seem overwrought if another member expresses a difference of opinion. Must you agree with me? Of course not...nor I you. Can we agree to disagree civilly? Yes, yes we can. Maybe it's just me noticing of late it seems if I (and others too, of course) think subj...

Re: Curious as to what the instructors/“experts” carry?

As a general rule, the EDCs that new LTC holders should be using are different from what an "expert" can use. If I were advising a newer person on guns to check out for EDC, I would go with the following 4 and have them carry whichever one they like the best. As far as size goes, the bigge...
