NORMAL PEOPLE, in my opinion , just don,t go around shooting other people or wanting to harm, or rob and rape other people, but in the real world there are a small percentage of EVIL PEOPLE who WILLINGLY LOOK TOO PREY ON THOSE THEY PERCEIVE AS WEAK AND VULNERABLE" and thats always been and always will be true!
while almost ALL of my friends have a CCW license, and almost ALL of us carry a heavy caliber handgun concealed ,almost 100% of the time ,for the same reason most people have a fire extinguisher in there home,
IE
" if you need it you'll need it immediately, you'll need it very badly, you won,t have time to go looking for it and , not having it handy may cost you dearly" I don,t see the need for the regular expectation of exposed carry of long guns in public, and yes that would make me personally feel a bit less secure if some stranger walked up too me carrying a AR, or AK,on his shoulder or a 45 on his hip exposed , simply because "I DON,T KNOW YOU" I expect a high percentage of adult males to be carrying CONCEALED,but I think open carry INTIMIDATES the members of society that are less familiar with firearms so its going to present a negative impression,in many cases, thus best avoided. but I also don,t think it should be a "CRIME", its more of a socially unacceptable practice, in most cases, any place but on your own property or in places it would be considered appropriate like in rural areas where you hunt , camp or fish.

in florida if some moron comes into a store waving a firearm and either starts shooting or just points a firearm at anyone, thats intent to do major bodily harm and hes fair game for anyone to stop by what ever means available

By removing ambiguities regarding legal responses to imminent threats to life and property and removing an obligation to retreat, the law attempts to rebalance justice on behalf of innocent, law-abiding Floridians.

Florida’s ‘Stand Your Ground’ Law:
It Ain’t What the Bradys Say It Is

Most readers of this website will not be surprised that some anti-gun advocates have serious difficulties with facts, truth, logic and the derivatives thereof. Still, Brady bunch* attacks on Florida’s new self-defense law, which took effect on October 1, are so viciously misleading as to eliminate any credibility the group has or ever again will have, even among the more responsible of their own kind. Given the brevity and simplicity of the law, so clearly distorted by the Bradys, the cynical calculation of the group has to be that no one will actually read it.

On its website, in newspaper ads and in flyers handed out in Florida airports to inbound tourists, the Bradys repeatedly label the law as the “Shoot First” law and warn visitors not to argue with, shout at or make threatening gestures to “local people.” A Florida map is made to resemble a handgun. There’s more misrepresentative, hyperbolic scare-mongering.

The Florida law is not a gun law. Period. It contains zero references to guns or shooting, unless you feel propagandistically compelled to count one of those ubiquitous legislative “Whereases” that references the Florida Constitution’s “right of the people to bear arms…”

The Florida law is a self-defense, self-protection law. It has four key components:

It establishes that law-abiding residents and visitors may legally presume the threat of bodily harm or death from anyone who breaks into a residence or occupied vehicle and may use defensive force, including deadly force, against the intruder.

In any other place where a person “has a right to be,” that person has “no duty to retreat” if attacked and may “meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.”

In either case, a person using any force permitted by the law is immune from criminal prosecution or civil action and cannot be arrested unless a law enforcement agency determines there is probable cause that the force used was unlawful.

If a civil action is brought and the court finds the defendant to be immune based on the parameters of the law, the defendant will be awarded all costs of defense.


Florida’s law, like countless others from legislative sausage grinders, could have been better drafted. It unquestionably will be challenged in court, over and over again, by those who abhor even the concept of applied individual self-defense or by legal gadflies with nothing better to do with their time.

It is a tough law — on those with criminal intent. As is often the case, its ultimate goal is as much to deter as to be used. Whether it ever results in much change remains to be seen. But by removing ambiguities regarding legal responses to imminent threats to life and property and removing an obligation to retreat, the law attempts to rebalance justice on behalf of innocent, law-abiding Floridians, as well as the state’s numerous law-abiding visitors, specifically included. Whether those visitors are comforted or frightened by the law should be based on accurately understanding it, not blatant attempts by a faltering advocacy group to harm Florida tourism.

that simply means that , in florida if you see someone being robbed,raped or in danger of being killed with a weapon, or your being attacked,where loss of life or very serious bodily harm is the likely result, in any place you have a legal right to be at, you have the option to step in and prevent the crime without worrying about being sued, which is the way things should be!
look at chicago, and washington D.C. the public is disarmed and likely to be sued if they resist, in an assault, criminals run the streets as a result... you don,t last long as a violent criminal in florida with our three strikes laws and the concealed weapons in the hands of about 1 out of 14 adults the chances of being killed in an assault or thrown in jail for life reduces crime......KEEP IN MIND GUN CONTROL IS ABOUT MAKING YOU TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON GOVERNMENT< NOT ABOUT REDUCING CRIME

look at the results of dis arming the average citizen , if criminals by definition ignore laws, what you get, thru gun control, is a vast collections of easy victims and a government powerless to actually prevent violence, and a population powerless to defend them selves thats dependent on police that can,t and won,t be responsible

IF YOUR GOING TO CARRY CONCEALED ,THINK THRU YOUR CHOICE IN WEAPONS, do you really want to get into a life and death confrontation if your forced to carrying some mini pocket pistol, just because its very concealable or if the time ever comes would you be far better off carrying something a bit more effective? just think it thru, I know I,d sure rather have a reasonably effective weapon vs a pocket pistol of dubious accuracy and power.
the recent spree shooting in Connecticut makes this choice even even clearer in my mind, thats why Ive always used a full size 10mm or 45 pistol, at least you have a more dependable defensive tool.
A single bullet from an armed teacher or security guard on premises would have saved over 20 lives. Wake up!
normal people don,t do things like this, and if anyone intent on doing evil wants to they will find a way, , a bomb or poison gas, or just driving a truck at high speed thru a crowd, theres always some way to commit evil acts, but if the potential victim's can effectively fight back you limit the extent of damage evil people can do.

anti firearm liberals...who want to disarm the public even more...making us ALL, all the more exposed and relying on 'the government' for our protection..And the current administration policy is to never waste a crisis, just seems all to tailor made to the media, liberal agenda.

http://garage.grumpysperformance.co...hy-do-you-carry-that-concealed-handgun.14502/

when are these gun control morons going to wake up , to the facts , it was their gun law, and a lack of the ability of the victims to defend them selves that was partly to blame for the extent of loss of life.. its called gun free school zone but all that did was stop a law abiding sane person from carrying their gun, so they had the means to stop this monster.
but IM sure all the liberal gun grabbers will be screaming, please do not bring common sense into this.

Ive ask several friends this question, and was rather surprised at the answers.
we got to discussing what we carry daily as a concealed carry weapon, and I ask
" if you knew that at some point in your travels during the next 24 hours you would be forced into defending your life from a guy dead set on killing you,would you change the weapon you carry?"

and I was rather surprised at the number of guys that said they would upgrade the caliber, in the carry weapon of choice...to me that was rather silly, why carry anything your not 100% sure you can depend on when the whole object is ready access to a viable and dependable tool should the need arise !
OH! Im well aware something like a 25 acp or 380 auto is a lot easier to conceal and lighter in weight, but if the situation demands you defend your life or family would you bet the results on your carry choice?

post your thoughts gentlemen, I know I carry with that thought in mind, and yes I,m fully aware I could go a life time without needing it, but I have several fire extinguishers in my house fore the same basic reason...a reasonable chance of turning the odds in my favor in an emergency
 
I do carry a pocket pistol at work because I work in peoples houses a LCR 357 its not noticable & after I speak with the person & feel them out I will usually tell them that I`m carrying & have never had a problem. When I go out I always carry the 357 & usually carry a Glock 27 40 cal in a side holser

I carry a gun so that I don’t have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.

I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.

I don’t carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.

I don’t carry a gun because need it daily
I don’t carry a gun , for the same reason there,s several fire extinguishers in my home , its because in an emergency I may need it badly

Ive carried a GLOCK 20 10mm for easily 15 years now but I fully understand why many guys are not all that enthralled, with the design
I used to carry a S&W 1006 and I think its got some design flaws but its still a bit more accurate than the glock and certainly feels like a better built pistol

I personally think the 10mm is the perfect hand gun defensive caliber , a 155 grain hollow point 40 caliber projectile at 1450fps-1475fps will certainly produce a devastating wound with a single well placed hit!
Ive used both 10mm handguns on deer and theres zero doubt that your able to get the job done at arms length or out at 30-40 yards if forced too,very effectively with a single well placed hit, so if forced to defend my family I feel confident in the pistols capability if i do my job correctly placing a shot center mass on some creep whos busted into my home some night, intent on doing us harm.

IN a Live or death situation, would you feel comfortable carrying a 380?

personally NO! the first rule of survival is try hard to avoid confrontations where your at serious risk,and if forced into one you can,t avoid meet it with over whelming force, winners tend to survive better than losers, in such confrontations! and the faster you can totally over whelm an destroy an adversary's ability to aggressively move against you the better
If I had a good idea I might be forced into a life or death gun fight, I would NOT grab a 380, as it has marginal power and penetration in some situations,and if limited to a hand gun, Id start with a 357 mag, 41 mag, 10mm or 45acp as the base line and be rather picky as to ammo selected and hand gun to be used even then, probably a glock 10mm or CZ45 acp, but an n frame S&W in a revolver caliber would be a good choice,and a 6" model 57 smith would be a good choice, I want something I can depend on to punch holes, big deep , hole in my attacker,placed in an adversary where I,m aiming
Ive carried the glock, CZ, 10mm or 1006 S&W , most of the time since they became available

obviously if you had a lick of sense, you avoid such situations, and would,in theory have the local law enforcement to prevent your need for defense,but if forced to defend your self, select a semi auto shotgun or an M14 or similar long arm, rather than a pistol and a defensive location with good cover and several friends for fire support if you had a choice, but that is obviously not in the realm of true concealed carry options
 
id be more focused on placing shots on target, than caliber and ft lbs and penetration.

in ballistics tests, 9mm black talons are marginally less destructive than .45 black talons. the only time the caliber plays a major role in wether or not youre going to effectively neutralize a threat is ball vs ball... and i dont shoot ball at the two way firing range. the technology developed in the past 15 years for personal defense ammunition only leaves the extreme ends of the caliber scale with much difference, that is, .22 to .50 cal theres a big difference, but you barely notice in wound channeling the distinction between a .380 and a .40 or a 9mm to a .45...

and to reiterate, its very important to practice critical shot placement. there are basically two zones on the human body that are sure kills with the advent of paramedics and modern medicine. zone 1: draw a triangle on a person using their adams apple and their nipples as the three points, shoot in there, aim small miss small.

zone two: draw a triangle using the center of the forehead and the two eyes as the three points... aim smaller, miss smaller.

hits with .22 to .50BMG in these areas are almost always kills, while hits outside of these areas with everything from .22 to .50 bmg are survivable
 
the reason i emphasize kill shots is because i dont want some asshole i shot legally to come back in 5-10-or 20 years and gun me down for some shit that was his fault in the first place. good enough dead.
 
If you get into a gunfight, and WIN, YOUR VERY LIKELY GOING TO GET SCREWED, either legally by lawyers IN LEGAL DEFENSE COSTS or by the LEGAL SYSTEM, AT SOME POINT, EVEN IF YOUR 100% JUSTIFIED, but its better than being dead
here I disagree, on your caliber choice, based on experience gained in hunting ,WITH HAND GUNS, when you hit a deer or hog with a decent caliber like a 10mm , 357 mag or 45acp 41 mag pistol theres a very noticeable difference in the results, compared to very similar hits with smaller calibers in my experience, I know Ive seen a couple hogs shot with 30 carbine revolvers and 9mm semi autos both used hollow point expanding ammo as did most of the other pistols, and while the sample base may not have been extensive the result was hardly impressive.
I,m used to deer and hogs being hit , some fall, some stumble and run, most run, few go more than 30 yards with a good hit with a 10mm-357 mag, 41 mag,all show distinct signs of being injured with one shot , in comparison, it seems that theres a strong tendency to try to unload as many cartridges as possible at the departing game when the smaller calibers used, and the game seems intent on reaching the next county with little sign it was injured at first.
now I,m not about to say the games not mortally wounded, in either case, only that its obvious that the impact of the larger heavier projectile, imparting more impact energy and momentum, seemed to get their full attention where the smaller rounds seemed to "HURT" LESS
or put a different way, Ive had a couple hogs drop instantly when shot with a 10mm in the shoulder,and a few run, I've never seen one drop from a similar hit from a 9mm in fact thats almost a guarantee of a 50 yard or longer tracking job

posted above you'll see a link to an incident where some guy in Orlando dropped his pistol in a restaurant, and it went off, bullet fragments and pieces of tiles hit some customers, Ive seen several reports the first one said he had the pistol in his waist band and it fell out, which I tend to believe, in any group of a significant size you'll find a few examples of both ends of the intelligence bell curve, its just a fact of life that you'll always need to deal with a few morons in any larger group, that doesn,t mean that the vast majority should be regulated too a level that makes the actions of the 2%-5% that are border line morons thought of as the new "NORMAL" for the other 95%-98% or more
most of my friend's and I have concealed carry licenses , most of us carry, most of the time,and have for decades, but I don,t know anyone, who sticks a firearm in his waist band too do so without a holster, nor anyone who won,t buy a decent holster, to protect the gun. and some gun designs are far less prone to accidental discharge from being dropped, plus carry with an empty chamber is not a bad idea in many cases,if your gun is not equipped with redundant safety features

desantis-right-hand-black-speed-scabbard.jpg


BTW if you route the belt around the outside of the holster instead of under it like this picture shows its going to make it conform to your body lines far more uniformly,and be far harder to spot, and yeah!, make it a bit harder to draw in a huge hurry, but if your keeping aware of your surroundings,in most cases youll have at least a few seconds warning to prepare, your chances of getting into a gunfight are very low, your chances of survival in a gun fight without a gun , where your attacker has one alone,and you lack training and a gun,is abysmally lower, having a gun and knowing how to use it effectively and remaining aware of your surroundings makes a huge difference.
guys get killed working under cars supported by a single bumper jack when it falls, guys cross the street without looking and get run over, guys chug a whole bottle of vodka on a dare ,and die , you can,t legislate against stupidity.banning all concealed carry due too morons like that, would be similar to banning all cars with V8 engines because some drunks get caught speeding

i always cary with one in the pipe but i dont own 1911's so the impulse to carry cocked and "safety on" eludes me... my glocks and my xd's and my sigs are always ready to fire on the squeeze

I was recently given a very lightly pre-used holster which I find works rather well with my full size glock 10mm
keep in mind in florida you generally don,t tuck in shirts, do wear jeans, and generally most of the adult males look like this at least where I live out in the boon docks, and Id bet 30% to 40% of the adult males in my neighborhood carry out here minimum

According to the state, more than 1.4 million Floridians hold permits to legally carry weapons.

The National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) applauds Kansas
Governor Sam Brownback for today signing into law Senate Bill 45, NRA-backed legislation that expands Kansas permitless open carry to included permitless concealed carry.

"On behalf of the NRA's five-million members, we want to thank Governor Brownback and Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce for their leadership on this critical issue," said Chris W. Cox, Executive Director of the NRA-ILA. "This new law is a common sense measure that allows law-abiding Kansans to exercise their fundamental right to self-protection in the manner that best suits their needs."

Kansans already have the right to carry a firearm openly without a permit, as long as they are not prohibited by law from possessing a firearm. However, under current law, if a firearm becomes covered by a coat or if a woman prefers to carry a firearm for protection in her purse, he or she would need a concealed carry handgun license. The new law simply extends permitless open carry to permitless concealed carry, allowing law-abiding gun owners to protect themselves and their loved ones in the manner that best suits their needs. Kansas’ permitting system remains the same under the new law. People who obtain permits still enjoy the reciprocity agreements that Kansas has with other states.

The bill passed the legislature with overwhelming support despite efforts by billionaire Michael Bloomberg's out-of-state gun control lobbyist to defeat the legislation through a misinformation campaign.

In the three states that have adopted permitless carry laws similar to Kansas' law, murder rates have gone down; declining by 23 percent in Alaska, 16 percent in Arizona, and eight percent in Wyoming.

http://bearingarms.com/scotus-ruling-sex-marriage-mandates-nationwide-concealed-carry-reciprocity/

http://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...-up-national-reciprocity-for-concealed-carry/


this looks to be a rather interesting result from the vote on gay rights concerning concealed carry options

Yesterday, as you know, five justices on the SCOTUS redefined what marriage is in America and also found the time to violate the concept of federalism. They decided that an individual’s behavioral choice was grounds to create a new “right” in the U.S. Constitution. Now of course there are those of you who are somewhat despondent, but just know that in every storm there is a rainbow — quite sure y’all get my tongue-in-cheek comment. Yep, since now the SCOTUS has determined it can bequeath a right to marriage across all 50 states, there is an interesting point to be made.

As reported by BearingArms.com, “If you’re following any of the various media outlets this morning, you’re probably aware that the U.S. Supreme Court has just extended gay marriage to all 50 states. The Supreme Court ruled Friday that same-sex couples have a right to marry nationwide, in a historic decision that invalidates gay marriage bans in more than a dozen states. Gay and lesbian couples already can marry in 36 states and the District of Columbia. The court’s ruling on Friday means the remaining 14 states, in the South and Midwest, will have to stop enforcing their bans on same-sex marriage. The outcome is the culmination of two decades of Supreme Court litigation over marriage, and gay rights generally.”

The Court used Section 1 of the Fourteen Amendment to justify its argument, which reads: Amendment XIV Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law, which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Now here is the kicker, as the writer articulately brings to light: “By using the Constitution in such a manner, the Court argues that the Due Process Clause extends “certain personal choices central to individual dignity and autonomy” accepted in a majority of states across the state lines of a handful of states that still banned the practice. The vast majority of states are “shall issue” on the matter of issuing concealed carry permits, and enjoy reciprocity with a large number of other states. My North Carolina concealed carry permit, for example, was recognized yesterday as being valid in 36 states, which just so happened to be the number of states in which gay marriage was legal yesterday. But 14 states did not recognize my concealed carry permit yesterday. Today they must.
