I have no gun, because it is very difficult to get one in my country. But I carry a hunting knife. Mostly I use it to open packages, but it will do good work on a Muzzie too. :)

I conceal carry mine everywhere, getting a nice SIG P220 as my next carry gun.

Currently concealing a H&K USP .45 with 3 (12) round magazines. I've got a Galco belt holster and two mag pouches.

No, I have little ones here and I'm afraid of them finding it. The news reports about children finding guns, mistakenly firing them, and killing themselves or other children scares me to death. I may get a tazer when my husband is deployed though.

More kids die in car accidents, drowning, and falling than they do with guns.

I have a concealed permit (got it right after my 21st b-day) however rarely bring it (most of the time leave it in my car or leave it in my kitchen).  Also living in the southwest unless the law changed i believe it is legal to carry as long as it is not concealed without a special permit.

All in all i have a 9mm beretta and DE .50 for handguns.  12gauge, 22, and a .300 Winchester Magnum...  No assault rifles yet.  Not really into them and only go to the range for target practice not to lose my paycheck buying ammo.  Been thinking about one lately though.
My friend does reloading not the greatest ammo but good for the the range

The fact so few members of JTF conceal a gun is worrying in it's self, I wonder what the percentage of members are that own a gun? Even if it's very difficult or troublesome to get a firearm, members should definitely look into getting one no matter what. We don't want to end up like Jews during the Holocaust again do we?

I'm guessing the majority of members live in NYC or some liberal state, if you like in Wisconsin, DC, or Illinois, it's impossible to conceal a gun, however it's still possible (though difficult) in NYC to get a concealment permit.

For those of you in NY or NYC, read this

I rarely carry because I work in education and it is illegal where I live to be on a campus and have a gun unless you are law enforcement.

You will want to buy the amunnition before it changes over the to the new ammunition which will be one that only lasts for three months and then goes bad.

One in my pocket as I type.. I carry concealed a .45 or 9mm in the city and .44 in the woods.  I am going to switch to .45 for urban carrying, as I think its more effective manstopper than my 9mm, the extra 5 rounds in the 9mm are not a great advantage to me, considering what it lacks in power.

The concealed carry permit is useful for more than defending yourself.  It's helped me more than once when I needed two forms of identification, and was money well spent.

This weekend I kept a G17, with arms reach.

I used to have a Navy Sig 226. For carry.
Low profile Novak night sights.
Always ran well.
Good shooter.

Not allowed at work...
Not allowed at gov. buildings.
The state capital does not allow carry.

Other than that, I can carry anywhere in the state.
No Permit.

I keep it with a loaded mag, but an empty chamber.

1st, it was strange taking it with me.
Over the years, the gun has changed and I have become used to carrying.

Draw is a little slow, but the blue guns help.
Their weight is not to far off the real thing.
Great Training tool. Take downs, carry(takes a bit to work it out), grip training, and some trigger control drills.
If you are going to do some trigger drills(Empty case on your front site, as an example), I would start with blue.
Than work up to a real, Unloaded, gun.

http://www.blueguns.com/

When you carry, there are a ton of options. Belly pack, all sorts of holsters, thunderware(for the brave), and now you can get jackets and shirts for your carry.

Its not a bad idea to start with a blue gun. Decide the best carry for you. And drill a lot.
Draw, present, holster. I would suggest at 500 times. Before you go out.
