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.

I definitely hear your concern. A tazer is a good alternative.

Does you husband carry a firearm when he is back home?

No. His is at the armery. He use to have a 9mm though. Our oldest daughter was a baby but I was still scared.

I think as long as criminals are running packing every human being in this country has the rights to be protecting themselves.  But in NYC the stupid gun control laws actually punish decent citizens from not protecting themselves, families, homes and businesses.

Newman, and anyone else...Why is it that some whites think that every black person knows each other? NO. I don't have an idea of who "Bad" Leroy Brown was. Jeez. I was born in 1974.

Well Erica, let me tell you a little bit more about him.....  8;)


well south side of Chicago
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there, you better just beware
Of a man named Leroy Brown

Now Leroy he's trouble
he stod about six feet four
All the downtown ladies call him: "treetop lover"
All the studs they call him Sir

He's bad, bad Leroy Brown
baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder that old King Kong
And He's Meaner that a junkyard dog

Now Leroy he's a gambler
And he likes his fancy clothes
He likes to wave his diamond ring(s)
In front of everybody's nose

He's got a custom Continental
He's got an Eldorado too
He's got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun
He's got a razor in his shoe

Yeah He's bad, bad Leroy Brown
baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder that old King Kong
And Meaner that a junkyard dog

well Friday - 'bout a week ago
Leroy shootin' dice
And at the edge of the bar, sat a lady named Doris
umm she sure looked nice

Well he layed his eyes upon her
and the trouble soon began
And Leroy Brown he learned a lesson 'bout messin'
With the wife of a jealous man

Yeah He's bad, bad Leroy Brown
baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder that old King Kong
And Meaner that a junkyard dog

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.

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

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

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.

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/ (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.
