    UT non-res permit, for new CO resident

    Thanks everyone, I guess it was wishful thinking. I will be getting the CO permit, but was hoping to be covered during the gap. Oh well.

    UT non-res permit, for new CO resident

    I know this was discussed prior to the forum changes, but I haven't been able to locate the information. I have a UT non resident CCW that I used to use in CO prior to the change in permit recognition earlier this year. I have now relocated to CO. I believe that there was a 6 month window...

    Incident in my own driveway

    Re: the no soliciting sign I have told people to go back and read it, and to then move along. Through my window of course, I don't open the door to these idiots. Mine is even modified to say "Scouts OK".

    How carry friendly is Colorado?

    The new Governor is a Democrat. For additional reference, see the fable: scorpion, frog, river crossing.

    How carry friendly is Colorado?

    I just came back from there, OC'ing because a Democrat invalidated my UT non-res. I got the impression that firearms were just a non-issue. I spoke at some length about it with a Ranger who just took it for granted that just about everyone was armed, pretty much most of the time. I never...

    Concealment tips for a slightly larger gun (to me at least)

    IWB worked for me, large revolver I recently carried a S&W 686p in a Tucker gunleather IWB, and it tucked away just fine. For me the trick was a Duluth Trading undershirt, so it didn't rub my skin, and a shirt on top of that (in my case a Duluth Trading performance longtail T, untucked. I...

    Full auto legal

    As an ex-Brit, the only full auto I've ever wanted is a Tommy gun, like Winny posed with. CA prohibits that, but other states don't. Mad Ogre once posted about a Thompson in the shop he works at (UT) being in for a day or so, and going for a grand, so they're out there. I wonder if my dream of...

    Decision-making While under Vehicular Assault

    Well first, "duty to retreat" is a vile imposition, and if as another poster stated, it's been repealed in your state then I am glad. Secondly, of minor note, I added a "plugged in" a cheap ball trailer hitch to my truck for this very reason - a smaller car ramming me from the back is likely...

    Colorado Sheriff "Boy Scouts = Hamas"

    There are plenty of "socal idiots" who fight for rights here. I would remind you that my Utah CCW was not invalidated by a Californian, it was invalidated by a Coloradoan. I know it's easy to blame others for your problems.

    Making your house harder to break into.

    Unfriendly plants? That may have been one of my posts. The show "It takes a thief" once recommended "Leatherleaf lahonia" as being a normal looking but tough and prickly plant good for under the windows.

    Who uses SmartCarry or similar holster?

    I have one, the security version with a cash pocket, and it's been good, but was probably the most uncomfortable thing I've ever worn when driving one time. Other times it's been OK, it's a challenge to adjust it just right. I got so used to it that I was in a convenience store, out in the...

    Odd Situation with Guns at Home

    My first take on this is that if your Mom has a CHL that he doesn't know about, you have some massive communications issues in your family. Personally, I would do anything possible to get out of there.

    Advice for sister-in-law regarding coming home late

    I would never buy another Brinkman. I thought I was getting a bargain, but that sucker went through a bulb pretty quick, and they aren't cheap. Now the battery won't charge. I bought a Surefire and haven't looked back. If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's don't buy the cheap junk...

    Does your vote count?

    As an aside, I don't seem to recall any Democrats complaining about Diebold in the last election ... I guess we don't have to worry about that any more.

    Are you honest with your spouse?

    No need to be dishonest - I tell the wife what I want, and if it's no, I accept that and wait it out. Eventually she'll come around, why give her reason to distrust you? 'Course, when she finally says "Ok then", she's shocked, shocked, at the speed of the response! I'm talkin' "Honey I'm...

    I'm Approved!!!!!!

    Here in CA, "approved" takes on a whole different slant, meaning you have the approval to CCW based on the whim of the sherriff, not any pesky factual stuff like you had to go through.

    these TV cop shows are ridiculous

    I DVR the FBI files, it's pretty fascinating. Also regulars are COPS and Walker, but my tastes change. I tried CSI, but gave up on it almost immediately.

    "There ought to be a law" - well, yes!

    Coming to the USA from England, many years ago, I first noticed that there weren't centuries of accumulated cruft on the law books. Then I noticed that this was being addressed by a continual flood of new laws - "No you fools" I cried; I knew how this ended up. Here in CA, my typical response...

    71 year old ex-marine neturalizes Subway robbers

    It's interesting to note that the "drop the money on the floor" routine didn't work here.
