Guys, on tuesday I got my CCW's permit. Yesterday I carried my Glock 26 all day long and after an hour I didn't even feel it in my back. Today I carried my 1911 full size for about 6 hours. What a difference!!!!!! I really don't know how people carry it every day Its so heavy and so long. It kept pulling my pants down haha.
I just got mine back today. I got attacked by a dog in my yard a while back, very long story, but I shot the thing to keep from getting too bit up. I think I coulda killed it without shooting it by choking it, but it was attacking my cats and moving around and then jumped on me. Anyway, they filed "animal cruelty" on me. I fought it, it got dismissed, I got my permit back. Next time, I guess I'll let the danged dog tear me up. If I survive, I can sue the crap out of the dog's owner, if there is one.
The whole moral is, don't use the thing unless you absolutely have to. That was a friggin' dog! Oh, well, I reckon if I had to shoot a human, though, they wouldn't have even filed on me.
such are the times we live in.
Yeah, I was all gung ho when I got my permit to carry a 1911 or a .357 revolver or something big. Seems like most that are just citizens like me eventually downsize to pocket guns. ROFL! IWB every day is a royal PITA. It ain't TOO bad with a G26 sized gun or my SP101, but I find my little Kel Tec P11 in a pocket is plenty of gun and only 14 ounces unloaded, carries in a pocket such that you don't even realize it's there unless you think about it. I'm even wanting to get a new Ruger .380 LCP now, even smaller, but I think the P11 is MY perfect carry, frankly.
But, I find you can't have too may carry options if you like to carry 24/7. When they temporarily took my P11, I told 'em, "That's okay, I have 19 more to fall back on." ROFL! Many are biger guns, but I have more'n one pocket gun and want more.
