Several months ago I was contacted by a coworker asking about purchasing a handgun for self protection. He asked how it works in North Carolina, and I explained the whole process of needing either a Pistol Purchase Permit or Concealed Handgun Permit for any handgun purchase, no matter where he buys it. He seemed satisfied with the information, and we didn’t speak about it again until last week. Last week he approached me and said …

Post by Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners. Michigan has always had a weird CCW permit system that involved “County gun boards” that had the final say in whether or not someone would get their permit. Hardly what we’d call “shall issue” these days. I’m glad to see Gov. Snyder ditching the County gun boards in favor of a real shall issue system.

Am I the only person that has went back to a doublestack “wonder 9” for CCW after hearing about the recent al qaeda ISIS threats to behead people in the streets, and the Sydney siege incident where people were held hostage in a cafe until it was stormed by police? There’s something much more comforting about having 16 rounds on my hip, with 15 more in a reload than there is with my previous 8 …

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times that if I had to choose between carrying my knife and flashlight every day or my gun, I’d choose the knife and flashlight every time. I use my knife and flashlight every single day, and thankfully I’ve never had to use my gun. What say you? If you had to choose, which would it be?

As you probably know, I recently picked up a Gen4 Glock 19 as a new concealed carry pistol. I wanted to go back to a doublestack gun, and I also wanted something that was very similar to my Glock 34 that I shoot in competition. I don’t tend to make a lot of modifications to my carry pistols, but I’ve done a couple things to the Glock 19: Custom Grip Plug Funnel Glock pistols have …

Maybe I’m a little late to the party, because I’ve admittedly been absent from any Raleigh city parks for a while, but the last time I was out at Durant Nature Park the park rules signs just had duct tape on the old signs covering the part about concealed weapons. If I remember correctly (typing this on my phone otherwise I’d look it up) we gained park carry with the passage of House Bill 650 …

Here’s the audio of Judge Stephens decision on the matter: From Ben on Twitter: Judge Stephens has found in favor of the Agriculture Commissioner. No preliminary injunction. No concealed carry at the 2014 NC State Fair. — Triangle Tactical🎙 (@triangletactica) October 13, 2014 Judge Stephens “exception to the exception” comment is interesting, more on Episode 103 of the podcast.

350 concealed carry permit holders in South Carolina are having their permits revoked after it has been found that the instructor was not providing the required training. I’ve said before that I didn’t really learn anything from my concealed carry class, but my instructor did do a good job of fulfilling the state requirements for the class. Several years ago when I took my class, classes were generally going for about $150 in this part …

I recently had the opportunity to purchase a pistol that had been painted (ceracoat), but I wasn’t able to close the deal. To me, removing the factory finish on the pistol, and applying something else is always inferior to the factory finish. Would you purchase a pistol that had been painted after it left the factory?

This. Is. Amazing. From the federal circuit court judge ruling on Palmer vs. DC: In light of Heller, McDonald, and their progeny, there is no longer any basis on which this Court can conclude that the District of Columbia’s total ban on the public carrying of ready-to-use handguns outside the home is constitutional under any level of scrutiny. Therefore, the Court finds that the District of Columbia’s complete ban on the carrying of handguns in …
