Yes, please! I don't mind subjective opinion, so long as it's clearly stated as such. Like my opinion about esthetics and Glocks. Clearly my opinion about an otherwise excellent firearm, and only expected to apply to me. "I will not carry a firearm without a manual safety" is another example...

No worries! It's very recent and requires looking at the previously existing statutes side-by-side with it in order to understand it all. The actual statutes online haven't been updated to include HB 3594, as yet. So you have to read the two links I provided to get a grip on it. ;)

Found this on D2 steel: https://knifesteelnerds.com/2018/11/05/all-about-d2-steel-knives/

Seems to me that 1911s are already indestructible! BUT...personal opinions are as good a reason as any for what not to carry. I won't own a Glock, much less carry one, simply because I think they're ugly as sin. With all the other perfectly good options out there, I don't see any reason why I...

If I'm shooting, my Colt SAA gets all six holes filled. If I'm carrying my SAA in the holster, it'll be loaded with 5, hammer down on the empty chamber. This is because it doesn't have a transfer bar or other mechanism to keep the hammer from potentially falling/impacting the primer of a...

No. SC is no longer a must inform state, as of the passage of HB 3594 this year. Section 23-31-215 has been amended to remove this requirement. https://www.scstatehouse.gov/sess125_2023-2024/bills/3594.htm https://www.sled.sc.gov/forms/regulatory/Constitutional%20Carry%20Guidance.pdf

I see that some have brought up occasions where an officer requested their weapon to keep it under their control. I've never had this happen. The closest it came to happening, I had been pulled over in the wee hours of the morning by a Virginia State Patrol officer (I drifted across the lane...

Meh... He may have known the registered owner of the vehicle had a carry permit, but not that the registered owner was the driver, nor that the registered owner was actually carrying at that time. And even then, he may not know this unless he specifically requests that information when he runs...

I don't believe the FBI said anything about a self defense scenario only requiring one or two rounds. The closest I've come to this is what they have to say about the "average" gunfight consisting of three rounds fired over three seconds at a distance of three feet. The article I read this in...

Maybe...7 or 8 derringers, then? :p

There is no specific weight for me. Days away from 60 now, the maximum weight is whatever doesn't cause me to have to deal with discomfort/pain due to the constant weight. Not that I'm an invalid, mind you, but I'm not living in the body of a twenty-something anymore. For example, I moved my...

With respect to "expensive" or "inexpensive" carry guns: It's more accurate for me to say I would not BUY an outrageously expensive gun for the purpose of carry. However, I WOULD carry any gun I have, regardless of expense, if the need arose. I have a Colt 1991A1 I've had for over 3 decades...

Yeah! Though to be fair, the online SC statutes haven't been updated as yet, either. Handgunlaw dot com was updated immediately following the news of the governor signing the bill. They're another good to know site.

"Rights", "smooth", "courtesy", "at ease"... All these are important concepts and require balancing. That balance won't be the same from person to person, encounter to encounter. What we can't control is how another person may think/act. What we CAN control is how we think and act. If the...

Clarification/correction here: You may open carry (or conceal carry) in SC at the age of 18 and older, so long as they're not a prohibited person. ;) Here's a link to the SLED summary guidance for law enforcement: https://www.sled.sc.gov/forms/regulatory/Constitutional%20Carry%20Guidance.pdf

I like hypothetical questions like this, because they make us thing about how to handle situations before they arise, so that we know how best to handle them when they do. HOWEVER...they also allow us to better handle all the OTHER aspects as well. For example, the proverbial "gun on the...

I haven't read all the posts so far, so if someone has addressed the I apologize. The phrase "the 1911 was designed to be carried cocked and locked" is baseless folklore. JMB didn't design the pistol to be carried any particular way. It was built and modified as required to capture the U.S...

EVERYTHING is too heavy right now. I had a muscle spasm in my back yesterday morning and I'm still feeling it today. Grrr... But other than that, "too heavy" is a matter of personal opinion and varies based on several factors. However, in general if you can carry it comfortably in whatever...

It gets hot in front of the trigger guard because of the gas operated piston. That's understandable. I love mine (M2+ in 9mm) but it's got an issue with the slide not always chambering a round fully. I've literally hand cycled the slide 10,000 times and run a "blue check" on the slide parts to...
