It finally happened

I've had my CHL a little over 1 year now and it has been pretty much without incident. The wife and kiddo and I were going out this weekend and I decide to carry OWB (I rarely do as it makes me very self conscious). I dress in an un-tucked button down that has adequate coverage and off we go. We are...

As a Fire Fighter I do agree with the reasoning to NOT have double cylinder locks on exit doors and as such my house does not have them. It had them when I purchased it but I removed them. I have glass near two of those doors. If they want in they will get in. My task is to use other measures to mak...

I run Marathons also and do not consider them to be a Professional sporting event FOR ME. Now as to the law, I'm not certain. It could easily be argued either way.

The event did bring up a question in my mind. Namely, what happens if I am injured seriously enough in an accident that I have to be transported to a hospital? Who gets custody of my weapon?

Update: I spoke to my friend the other day and he said his sister sought some other Dr's opinions and they feel it is indeed treatable. So keep the prayers up and thanks.
