Concealed Carry Hand Gun

[Bill S.]

Glock 23 and Glock 26. I put Xgrips on the 26 so I can use G19 magazines.

Glad I live here I live, no concealed carry necessary where I live, I go to town once a week for groceries unless I'm on the road. Never felt a threat where I live in any way. Awhile back an insurance salesman called me and asked if I was interested in a security system, I said no I already had one, He said great what company do you run with , I told him Colt , He paused for a moment and said OK I get it and went on his way...

Ruger SP101, 3.5in barrel, .357. I am partial to Ruger revolvers. Wife carries a Glock 43, so both are good for us.

Seen a few folks in AZ who pack open carry, was up near Payson a few years back passing through and the guy at the next pump had a 1911 on his hip, I gotta a lot of respect for that.

This is a great thread.

Big responsibility to have a carry permit. I think most folks don't realize beyond getting the permit what challenges lie ahead of them when carrying a weapon for self defense. I hope everyone here is planning for the worst and making sure insurance etc. is part of the game plan. I managed a large gunshop for a decade and found most folks allow bravado to lead their decisions. Carrying soft weapons (good US made pepper spray) along with hardware will also give you non leathal options that could keep you from taking someone's life, which in turn is life altering for you, the permit holder.

Just some food for thought.

That's a really good point.

This YouTube channel has some great tips.

WOW! The wait time has gone up a LOT in a year. When I did mine, I submitted my app and had the interview a couple of months later. I guess that shows how many people are now applying now that the "good cause" requirement has been stricken and how many people are concerned for their safety and want to carry.

Totally agree with this statement, Having to use lethal force is not something I ever want to face.
