What kind of heat do you pack?

What you carry depends on the situation. For day to day carry I have a Beretta PX4 compact in .40 S&W.

Its small, relatively lightweight and I carry 10 and an extra magazine.

In my bag (textbooks, notepads, other essentials) I have a Ruger 9RE in 9 mm.

It is larger with a higher magazine capacity. I carry 14 in the magazine plus a spare.

In the summer time when you have to think small because of how you dress I carry a Taurus TCP in an ankle holster with .380.

I carry six. Originally Posted by the_real_Barleycorn

with all the gun carriers, how come we never hear about these mass shooting, crimes, being stopped? Dont tell me the media, they jump all over these stories

Because they are in gun free zones. The church shooting in Texas stopped by a civilian NRA instructor with an AR15.

The media covered some of this, themystified. Originally Posted by gnadfly

Keep Soringfield Armory 9mm with extra clips in all my vehicles. I looked at the single stack Soringfield & tried a Ruger LC9 with laser grip for CC but the double action trigger pull really effected my accuracy. I upgraded to a Kimber Solo Carry 9mn with laser grips (a red dot on your chest is pretty persuasive without firing a shot), small but not too small, all edges are rounded & smooth, very comfortable too carry inside wasteband in small of back (CrossBreed holster).

However your Springfield 9mm uses magazines not clips.

If i cant kill with 9mm i carry then i need a rifle which i always have in my car fuck i have ar 15 with a folding stock tht i can carry in my golf bag Originally Posted by skirtchaser79411
Sweet!

An AR shorty with a folding stock is the ultimate CC.

I just picked up a side charging 9 1/2 inch barrel suppressor ready 300 blackout with it's own mini backpack. Looks like a glorified fanny pack.

Can't wait to surprise the next Ungah-bungah that attempts extract slavery reparations (mugging). LOL
My issue is it's a lot easier saying "clip" other than "mag" and mag can mean either magazine or magnum. Plus 95% of the guns use magazines.

My other issue is the whole bullet/round/ammo/shell/etc grummer nazi ing. In normal everyday convo people know what you are talking about. Very few people do their own reloads. I've done it. It's a pain in the ass.
