^ defensive gun use and brandishing to prevent crime aren’t a stat the MSM likes to talk about.

Is this broad on TV the Mayor? Jesus what a piece of work she is, really leaning into her 15 minutes.

Good thing the public officials on the news “hype manned” eachother up after doing the authorized acceptable language puking. The smile that kept creeping up on that mayor broad…..would love to see a body language break down of that. Then I heard one question that was obviously dragged and turned it off.

It screws with the follow through. My average went down 18 pins.

This happened in MAINE which allows for Concealed Carry,

The RAND Corporation, a nonprofit, nonpartisan research and policy organization, analyzed firearm ownership in 2020 and created national and state-level estimates. It found that approximately 48% of adults in Maine live in households that own at least one gun

Effective October 15, 2015, Public Law 2015, Chapter 327 (LD 652), “An Act To Authorize the Carrying of Concealed Handguns without a Permit,” allows a person who is not otherwise prohibited from possessing a firearm to carry a concealed handgun in the State of Maine without a permit. This law also authorizes a person to possess a loaded pistol or revolver while in a motor vehicle, trailer or other vehicle being hauled by a motor vehicle.

Concealed carry without a permit is limited to people who are 21 or older, with the following exception: If a person is 18 years of age or older, and is on active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States or the National Guard, or has been honorably discharged from the Armed Forces or the National Guard, and is not otherwise prohibited from carrying a firearm, the person may carry a concealed handgun. A person who is 18-20 years old and without the referenced military qualifications must have a permit to carry concealed. The law applies to both residents of Maine and non-residents.

The law does not otherwise change where a person may carry or who may possess a firearm.


SO, almost 50% of the states adults have Guns, AND are allowed to Carry them... guess none of those people with guns are "good guys"

The AR-15 is a variant of the M16 which is made to kill people. They should be outlawed. If you really want to use one, UNcle Same needs you boy.

they'll take my AR when they pry it from my cold dead fingers...

A bowling alley and a bar. Sounds like gun-free zones.

I'm not gonna lie to you. I live in a state that allows it. I still have a CCW just for reciprocity... and I don't carry my gun because I haven't found a holster that is comfortable enough and conceals my gun in shorts and a t-shirt... which is Florida weather about 9 out of 12 months.

Open carry is stupid. You're at a tactical disadvantage.

On the internets this morning, I watched a guy walk into a mans cell phone store, he casually pulled out a gun--pointed it at the store owner.

The store owner proceeded to dump at least 10 rounds into the would be robber. Owner then ran out of the store and all you see is the criminal on the floor, twitching; that's the video.

Look for it tonight on NBC. Perhaps Lester Holt's opening monolog will be on the virtues of a well armed populace.

I have a Glock 43 for concealed carry. It's very light and also fits in my pocket, but it's uncomfortable there and easily identifiable as to what's in my pocket. I have a couple of CC holsters, but none are comfortable.

Thinking I might try the vanish holster. I dunno.

I pocket carry a Keltec P32, carried in a DeSantis Pocket Shot holster. It looks like a wallet in your pocket.

So what you're saying is that the "good guys" need more firepower? I like how you think, Frank. You could stuff a Desert Eagle 50 cal in your waistband. Then everybody would be walking around with a tripod.

Seriously, it is generally accepted that a guy with a rifle (Not just AR-15) will win against a guy with a pistol nearly all of the time, when both men are equally trained.

There's a lot of variables to any specific event though, and I haven't paid much attention to it. Maybe the person that had a good shot, wasn't one of the people that had a gun, or, like Jonesy said, maybe the person with a shot also had a gun, but froze up/got scared. Maybe they left their gun on their dresser bc it messed up their bowling score (8Track) or they don't like the fit of their holster (MACS) Who knows.

Stop wearing skinny jeans, ya damned hipster!

You are over 50. You are almost consitutionally requared to wear cargo pants/shorts. Slide it in the thigh pocket, tighten your belt a notch and you are good to go. I haven't found a holster I love either.

Eh………….no lock 642 in a Sticky, front pocket of my Wrangler Riggs……pants I wear 98% of the time.
Yeah, I own 10 pair…
If I’m going some place stupid?
I’ll add a 3” Gp100 in a Desantis thumbreak OWB at 330.
Speedloaders for both…

My uniform of the day is cargo shorts and a t-shirt. I wear the Columbia PFG fishing shorts. I think I have 8 or so pairs of them.

PFG is good stuff but not really made in any way for carry.

Nope. But I'm thinking the Vanish holster might be the ticket. Do I want to spend $90 to find out?

I didn’t do any research but iffin’ you can buy it through Amazon, wouldn’t you be able to return it iffin’ you didn’t like it?

Holy Schit! That’s quite the price difference!

But okay, devious me thinks you get it from Amazon, check it out and regardless if you like it or not, send it back, get your refund. Iffin’ you liked it then buy it from the $90 place.

Not that I would do that of course.

It was $89 direct from vnsh, but it's now $130 there, too. Saw a few video reviews... ain't what it's cracked up to be. Made in China...

The search continues.

Yeah………..wearing a stretchy 5+ inch wide band around my waste, all day, in YOUR climate??
Pass…..
Might be good for limited time periods, in certain situations?
Pocket carry (in holster) or OWB (thumbreak scabbard or speed scabbard) is, and always has been, my CC methods.
All others (shoulder rig, ankle, IWB, small of back, etc) just had too many drawbacks for my needs.

see if they'll let you take it for a test drive at the bowling alley...if you can hit a strike of a spare while wearing it, keep your average steady... it's a keeper
