    Really---why do you carry

    My motto while a boy was "Be Prepared." No one told me what I was to be prepared for, so I just assumed that meant I have to carry what I might need in case something happens. Why doesn't anyone ask me why I carry a handkerchief or my library card?

    Getting my pistol back from Madison PD

    Assuming it is Wisconsin. http://www.cityofmadison.com/police/ If so, compose a concise letter to the Chief of Police explaining what you stated here. Tell him that you would like him to provide you with instructions on how you can claim your personal property. Is there any type of gun...

    Carrying Into Other People's Homes

    My ability to communicate clearly isn't what I'd like it to be. :rolleyes: The original post: Do you normally inform someone that you carry prior to going to their home with the gun, or if you're going to a friends do you just not carry? Two questions. Answer to the first question is "No"...

    P250 Impressions and Range Report

    Nice report. The P250 is different and certainly not for everyone. I picked up a subcompact in .40S&W. I've put about 400 180 gr, JHP rounds down range and haven't had any FTF/FTE problems. Since I started, many years ago with a duty carry S&W Model 15, I was used to the double action...

    Carrying Into Other People's Homes

    How would my concealed handgun even come up in a conversation? I have friends and relatives who do not like guns. Most if not all of them know what I do for a living and many even know that I am authorized to carry 24/7. None of them have ever told me they do not want me to carry in their...
