Agreed. I used to work in the DOD contract arena. This type of stuff is very suspicious.

I don't know what State you're in, but where I'm at that's not true. You're view on that would not hold up in court here. A business owner's business property is his 'private' property, and he makes the rules. That is a legal fact as you say. If he doesn't want you there, then you have to...

I only take one or two with a plan of what I want to practice. In the past, I'd take everything. Then I realized I wasn't learning anything that way.

I voted to keep carrying and go shopping anyway, but it's really more of a 'sometimes' answer. If it's a business I really need to use, then I'll just keep carrying concealed and go shopping. If it's a business I don't really need to use, then I'll go elsewhere out of principle. In my State...

I think many anti-gun/anti-carry folks don't understand this simple concept. Law enforcement is reactive by design. We respond to crimes AFTER they take place. By then, it's usually too late for the victim to be protected. But, we can't go around arresting people for crimes they haven't...

That's exactly what I do every time as well. Always lock the slide back and get visual confirmation that it is indeed empty. I also always unload and lock the slide prior to handing it to someone else (friend, etc) to look at.

I'm a fan of natchezss.com They have some nice sales once in a while. The trick with online shopping is don't forget about the shipping. Shipping charges can change a good price into 'too much' quickly.

Glad your friend is ok. That's some scary stuff. How is he handling it mentally? He doing ok? I've never fired on someone, and I pray I never have to.

Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever been asked that question. My gun owning friends understand. My other friends don't think about it. My 1st wife once asked me to pawn some guns. Hence...1st wife as in "ex." I don't sell guns. I did once and have regretted it ever since...

That is so true! My wife and I both carry semi's and 642's. If we're wearing really light clothing in the summer, then it's just the 642's. It's an excellent little revolver.

Depending upon how hot it is outside I carry... (From hot to cool/cold weather) Hot: S&W 642 Med: Sig P239 & 642 Cold: S&W M&P & 642 My body size makes it tricky for me to conceal with light clothing without printing. The 642 blends in with pretty much everything. I love that thing.

As mentioned, you never know when something could happen. You could step outside to take out the trash and someone could assault you. I carry when I mow the lawn. It's not being paranoid, just being a realist; and I live in a nice quiet rural area on a few acres (although we do have dog and...

Also, something to remember is that most if not all of the casinos are tribal owned in Oklahoma. They have their own laws. You can go in a check with security and see what they say. They are usually pretty decent folks and will let you know if you can or cannot carry in there.

OK...that's just crazy. And a military vet? Well, military vet could be anyone from a special forces rambo killing machine to a typewriter admin assistant. Sorry, but as a mililtary vet I find it hard to believe that anyone who is worried about pulling the trigger while pulling the weapon out...

Anyone who carries a semi-auto without one in the chamber does not understand why he is carrying a weapon in the first place. My wife and I both carry semi-autos DAO. Same as a revolver. There goes that debate out the window. If you find yourself in a defensive situation with a gun, you have...
