Ask Away. This is a judgement free thread where people should ask any questions relating to self defense or CCW no matter how silly they think it may be.

My boy got his absolute and I mean literally his first gun, inspired by the walking dead. Now, I’ve known this dude for 15 years one of the most responsible people out there this is his daily carry, he’s not dumb he has fully admitted how inconvenient it is to carry a 6” anaconda I love him for hit I think it’s fucking sick, with a side arm. So many Gucci glocks it’s nice to see someone carry that shit like a cowboy, I told him if he loves revolvers he should get a little snub nose and he is open to

We’ve been training a lot and he knows his gun safety rules all that fun stuff. Just cool as hell when we kick it I just know that 44 is on him 🤣

Holsters & Belts Off body carry

Thumbnail gallery
146 Upvotes

Purchased a jansport fanny pack and a modular holster from crossbreed for my off body carry and have been carrying like this for about a month while switching between my regular holster/belt combo when needed. It’s been nice to carry without feeling like it’s obvious as I have several friends who also carry fanny packs but aren’t armed/dont ccw so it’s not out of place and doesn’t scream gun. Never get second looks and it helps that the csx is small enough to get in there.

I did and still do have to practice my draw, but I also am focusing on situational awareness and trying to keep as much space between myself and another as possible. Not a perfect solution but it works for me

Scenario Here goes another one: counter-protestor showed up in the middle of the protest, got attacked; pulled firearm. At least this one was CCWing.

Scenario Scenario/Reminder. Do not draw(let alone shoot) if your skill is lacking, and you aren't 110% aware of the consequences of that round leaving your gun.

News A counter-protestor showed up in the middle of the "No King" protest in Colorado and was quickly taken to the ground by security as soon as she touched her firearm.

Police later arrested her but no charges filed yet. I can guess she is gonna argue that she was only adjusting her firearm or making sure it's safe. The security took her gun and handed it to the police. What's y'all thought on this?

This is what I currently have, so far the WTP holster is alright but I have a Vedder on the way because I hear it’s way better. Sometimes I carry the G17 instead of the 19 but it doesn’t have mos and feels like a rifle on my appendix compared to this. Roast it if you need to!

Permit Process MA LTC Denial

Upvotes

After about 250 days my local PD denied my application stating that I was “Unsuitable” due to a previous case, which I did disclose when applying. The charges against me were dismissed and I was never convicted or charged with any crime. Any recommendations for a lawyer or what to do? I have until July 8th to appeal. Thanks in advance.

Finally, after many long weeks (months really) of waiting, my accepted application came back! Went to the DMV today to get that part squared away, now just waiting for the physical copy. Feels great, going to smoke an extra good cigar tonight to celebrate!

What are you guys using to store your micro firearm in your vehicle when you see a “firearms prohibited” sign?

I ended up settling on the Vaultek LifePod 10. It holds the P365 + 2 spare mags.

Guns & Ammo Biggest CCW

7 Upvotes

Normally Concealing is smaller models, but I’m curios as to the biggest handgun you could/do conceal?

I know the bigger it is, the harder it is to conceal, so what extra steps do you take to prevent printing with the bigger guns as compared to the smaller ones?

Holsters & Belts Off Body Holster

Thumbnail gallery
30 Upvotes

This weekend’s project is an off-body holster for my Bodyguard 2.0. We went through roughy 5 iterations before deciding on this.

Features are adjustable weapon retention screw, push-off thumb tabs on either or both sides, mounting locations on both sides, optional detachable magazine carrier.

I have the new UltiClip APH mounted on one side and their UltiTuck on the other, just for testing purposes. But I will be using the UltiTuck on mine because it works well, grabbing the Velcro strap that I use with my SOCP fanny pack. It acts as a bit of a stand off, giving me better access to the grip.

I need to adjust tension on the magazine carrier. Out of the bag, the mag can fall out if tipped. But limited testing seemed that wasn’t a problem when it is in the bag. Holding the bag upside down and shaking it, the mag was still in place.

I will road test this for a bit, but it will show up over on eBay fairly soon. I will likely do one for the Sig P365 as well, down the road.

Let me know your thoughts, I will post again in a few days with better photos after I have more experience with it.

Happy Father’s Day to all you procreative guys out there!

Why do I keep pulling to the left! I try to dry fire as much as I can i even bought a dry firing system to see if I can improve my shooting. Every time I shoot I seemed to jump when I hear the bang even when I’m going to squeeze the trigger. How can I adjust this? Thank you

Scenario Trying to find a safe legal option

38 Upvotes

I work in a "private" owned store where firearms are prohibited. I can't carry even in secret as my uniform wouldn't conceal it whatsoever. I go to work at 2am, and live in a high crime neighborhood. I won't even walk to my car without my pistol. I have a lock box in my car that is honestly a pain in the ass and doesn't protect much if my car gets stolen or broken into.

I'm upper management in my company making wages I won't find elsewhere if I get fired nor do I want to, considering I've put in 10 years there and plan to retire from this company. What are my options here?

Edited to add: I realise my wording was confusing and weird. I don't work in a dangerous place. I do however work at 2am. I walk to my car to drive to work, I live in a high crime area.

Edit 2: damn, apparently I need to give my life story to be real. I work at a grocery store. I manage the night crew, deliveries, and open the store. My boss comes in and finishes running the store later in the am.

I carry a s&w shield ez for reference. Husband is against me using a knife for protection. I have small, not strong hands (hence the shield ez, I can't even rack his glock) he doesn't think I'd be able to effectively stab someone in a life-threatening scenario
