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 …

Yesterday the internet went crazy over the Taurus Curve pistol, mostly with bloggers bashing it. A lot of the criticism was warranted, but the Curve has some things going for it. The Taurus Curve is a new .380ACP pistol that quite literally is curved to fit your body (if you’re right handed, sorry leftys). I couldn’t care less about this feature, but it seems that the Curve has a couple other things going for it: …

I post on Reddit under the Triangle Tactical account quite a bit these days. You’ll find me mostly in /r/CCW and a handful of other gun related subreddits. Recently there was a thread about how Dave & Busters (the adult arcade chain) had posted a sign banning open carry in their stores and that they were somehow “good guys” for doing this. Commenters were implying that the banning of open carry was somehow a wink …

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 …

It seems that the 2A community is divided on the issue of whether or not to still shop at, and do business with businesses who have issued these “respectful requests” not to carry guns in their stores. I’m curious where the Triangle Tactical braintrust stands on the issue, hit the embedded poll below, and please share with your friends! I’m also curious to know why you do or do not still shop at these businesses. …

I generally carry 9 round extended magazine as a backup for my Springfield Armory XDs 9mm. When I carried a S&W Shield, I carried the 8 round magazine as a backup, and when I carried a Glock 19, I kept a 17 round Glock 17 magazine as a backup. The obvious thing here is that the extended magazines stick out of the grip of the pistol a bit more than the standard magazines, and in …

Earlier this evening I shot the PDHSC/Shoot2Live IDPA match in south Raleigh. I decided that today I would shoot my actual concealed carry setup in the match. Even though it’s a match tailored for concealed carry, I usually shoot IDPA with my Glock 34 from what is essentially a competition specific holster (even though it’s within IDPA’s rules, it’s not something I’d carry with outside of a shooting range.) The Gear: Pistol: Springfield XDs 9mm …

Tonight I came across this picture on Facebook: I know the picture is a little hard to read, here’s what it says: “Orange Hats for Men, based in Lake Odessa, Michigan, is a club for men who agree not to be armed in public. There are no fees or dues to belong, just always be polite Policemen in the public are armed, as they should be. However Politemen are not armed out in the public, …

Great minds must think alike, the NRA released this video just a couple days after we recorded Episode 94 of the podcast on weapon mounted lights. (Video link for Email/RSS Readers) How long before someone makes a momentary activation weapon light small enough for concealed carry? Want.
