Lol! Amen, again I'm not trying to start a debate. I love guns and truly believe in having one on me at all times! Not always available with laws and schools ect... But man there are some crazies out there and they don't care where you are or who you are, evil is evil. God bless all you gun toting citizens. Wish there were more of us! I dont think guns are for everyone but if you can be safe with one and keep it safe from others arm up!

No worries, it's the Internet stuff happens:) go get your cc. If nothing else it gives you the option. Plus at least in Michigan it makes buying a gun much easier. After sandy hook, god bless those victims I bought as much ammo as I could afford. Times are changing.

If you guys have any tips for someone considering conceal carry please pass them on. Caliber you prefer/poly frame or steel frame/holsters, etc. And pics of your carry rigs would be awesome too! :D

Collectively, I have six handguns, an AR-15, two hunting rifles, and oneee shotgun!

Handguns:

the baby Ruger .22 cal
Ruger SR9C (9mm) - my newest baby!
Bottom Row (left to right):
Walther PPK .380
Ruger P85 9mm

Here's another picture of my Ruger SR9C ;) and yes, it is on my Hello Kitty blanket. Don't hate <3.

And here is the AR-15:

The next one I want is a Sig 226 special, but I've been spending too much money on snakes and have to wait a bit longer :please:. I do not currently have my CHL, but will hopefully get it soon. I've been procrastinating and haven't set aside the time to get it done.

Check back in the morning, ill put up some picks of my carry set up. It's a Glock 27 .40 cal. With a IWB holster. One tip I've found. Holster is everything, don't care what gun you have (obviously super large frame guns excluded) the right holster can make most guns disappear. A good stif belt is important as well.

Sho220,
Usually the shooting test is nothing more but making sure you can hit paper.

As for carry options I have almost as many holster as I have guns. Don't skimp on a holster. If the carry rig isn't comfortable you will not wear it. With the holster a good study belt helps a ton.

Some of my favorite holsters are the bladetec iwb, desantis iwb, and tuff products pocketholster. I also really like the blackhawk serpa cqc holster. They are harder to conceal but are comfy and secure. They have a nice draw too.

As far as gun or caliber. That's all up to you. Just pick a gun you feel confident with, can operate, and at least field strip for cleaning. If you can shoot a 44mag that's great. But if you can't hit your mark the big slug is useless. A hit with a 380 is better than a million misses with a 45.

Once you pick your combo. Practice drawing. Most ranges will not allow drawing on line. If you can find one, train there.

Most shootings happen close, 3 to 7 feet. Anyone can shot a human size target at that range. What most people forget to do is practice drawing. A bobble drawing can be all it takes for the situation go bad. Practice in different positions sitting, kneeling, standing, in your vehicle, with a jacket, etc.

Also practice reloads. I suggest using snap caps.

Always triple check you have an empty weapon when you practice drawing.

I have a Glock 19 in my nightstand and I carry a Ruger LCP .380 (perfect compact size, fits great under any type of cloth with a small of back holster)

Thanks for all the info. Appreciate it!

I carry my glock 26 pretty much everywhere I go.

I have owned a ton of handguns and swear by glocks.

I do want an lcp or similar for pocket carry though.
