This is when someone who gets a carry license goes out just so they can carry. There's no real reason to go out, just going out to carry since they can.... often at Wal Mart.

Thanks, USAF385.

This is what I figured it meant, and I have something to say about this....
I think too many guys are walking around like a kid with a new cap pistol. I believe there is a thread here somewhere about guys who go around flashing their CCWP every chance they get! You would have to be a total FOOL to show your permit to anyone except a LEO.
Well, I could go on for pages about this so I'll just end it by saying I think there are a lot of individuals out there carrying guns that have no business being within 10 feet of one. But I'm not telling anything we all don't already know.
 
Limit their rights, you limit your own, of course.

I can understand someone wanting to carry just to carry when they first get their license. It's the exileration of a person who has thrown off the yoke of oppression and is enjoying their God given freedom for the first time.

rdhubba, now that you're packing, don't go anywhere that your mother wouldn't want you to go. I wish you the best of luck!
 
Yeah! Wal Mart is the designated first place to conceal carry. It is called the "Wal Mart walk". It usually includes a John Wayne type swagger. It also includes a lot of adjusting and checking to make sure your piece isn't showing or printing.

OR, if you live in Tennessee, my neighboring state, as gregintenn does, or here in Georgia, like I do, you can just carry open and you don't have to worry about it showing or printing.

Great job getting your new license/permit. :) Be careful out there!
 
No one did, brother. Just a gentle reminder that as you limit the constitutional rights of another American, you put a limit on your own.

That's cool.... Just didn't think any one here needed a reminder.
 
Just think of it like putting on your socks and know where you can't bring it-it'll be second nature before long :D

And pray you never need it.
 
Im not sure why I should only show my CDWL to cops, I don't go around with it clipped on my shirt or anything. I don't see why I shouldn't be able to show it to a friend or family member if they ask about it, they already know I carry a gun, so how is seeing my license is going to do anything.
 
The big question is so many guns, and which one to carry, and the second big question is where do you conceal it.

Be safe. Use common sense.

Remember, just because you have a gun means that your ready for the world. Having a gun is part of the equation. It's a tool that must be used responsibly.

Study your states concealed carry laws, the use of deadly force, disparity of force and anything else you can get your hands on.

Good luck,

This goes very well with the above post!!!

Congrats!!! I remember how I felt the day I got my conceal permit. I had saved quite a while to be able to take the NRA handgun safty course. An then I had to wait almost two months to take the course. I went two days later to my local Sheriffs office and payed my fee and waited. To my surprise I received my permit in only 10 days.

I was like you and couldn't wait to carry. Guess what, I get up every morning and still have that same feeling. I am 63 years old and having a carry permit gives me piece of mind. I have no real idea what I would do in a "bad" situation, but I intend to be the person who walks away.

Feel good about your decision to carry. Welcome to the brotherhood!!!

TLG in WV

Not trying to hijack the thread but got a question for ya TLG. How is it getting a CCL in WV? I plan on getting mine ASAP. Where did you take your class at, and if you dont mind me asking how much did it cost? I live in Logan county.

Friends & family are O.K. (obviously.) I figured it was a given.

I was referring to the jokers that go around flashing it in public.
