Good Dogs! justatexasboy, sounds like the situation turned out the best way it could. BTW, awesome work with your dogs! I have a Boxer and she's my early warning system, though I didn't work with her much on it. She has woken me up several nights, standing on the bed over me (she doesn't...

Springmom, I'm north of you, in the Panhandle, but I agree, if I could wear something to match the weather instead of worrying about the gun printing, I'd be one happy woman. I don't know that I'd openly carry all the time, but it would be nice to be able to carry comfortably and not have to...

Plex, I think you missed the post that I already have a gun, and I have taken the concealed carry class (got my license in the mail last week WOHOO!) I also go to the range a couple times a week. I was just looking for ideas on things to check out at my apartment. :) Thanks for all the...

Ops...I forgot to mention that yes, I have a Springfield Armory XD-40 Subcompact, and I've taken the concealed carry class (just waiting on the state now). I was just looking for advice other than the normal "lock the doors" stuff that some of you might have. I don't have an escape route other...

Pinned, I wanted the safe for more than just my gun, but I wanted whatever I get to be okay to store my gun in. That's why I was looking at a smaller gun safe....bigger than a gun vault, but small enough for a gun and few folders, cds, etc. Cloudcroft - no problem. :) I appreciate all the...

Hey everyone. I was reading some of the threads about hardening your home, and it made me wonder what people would suggest for an apartment. I'm a woman and I live alone (other than my dog). After having several friends be the victims of breakins, I thought I'd evaluate my apartment for...

Wow, I didn't mean to cause a major argument. Oh, and by the way, the original poster, is a "she", not a "he". ;) I was just curious about the smaller safes because as I said before, I live in a apartment...and a 3rd floor apartment at that, with no elevator. Anything I get, I would have to...

I have a gun vault as well, but haven't decided where to bolt it to yet. I was hoping to find a gun safe that wasn't $1000 and use it to store all my important papers in one place, and just lock my gun in there as needed. The gun is unlocked when I'm home (no kids in the house), so it wouldn't...

Thanks for info! I'll be picking one up then. :)

I have looked at Walmart, and OfficeMax, but seem to remember that those safes say they are not recommended for gun storage....is that just their legal disclaimer that this is not a "gun safe", or please buy our more expensive "gun safe"? Thanks for all the input! :)

Hello everyone. I did a search for gunsafes, but everything I found was talking about the bigger gun safes. I'm looking into getting a smaller fireproof safe, to store my handgun and other important documents in. I just have the 1 gun, and the extras that go with it, but living in an...

TxGlockFan, Thanks for the information!! I appreciate it. I've gone back and forth about a purse carry, and belt carry, but you're right, when it's 105 degrees out, you don't really want to wear a jacket or sweatshirt to cover up your holster. I'm 5'9", and already struggle finding pants that...

Thanks! Thanks for the info! :)

Thanks, eagle. I have looked at corneredcat & she offers some very helpful info. I was just wondering what those people that carry the XD40 use. Thanks again! :)

Hi all. I just took and passed the CHL class here in Texas, and am looking forward to getting my concealed carry license. I have an S.A. XD-40 Subcompact. Is anyone carrying this handgun as their concealed gun? If so, what methods are you using? I'm a woman, and the purse option has been...
