Most of the friends I made in my CHL class all carry 24/7. However, I can understand the emotional feeling that some people believe that "If I am not carrying, nothing will happen to me today." They, wrongly, believe the very act of carrying might be the reason BGs might assault/rob them. ...

This is what I use to carry my Ruger LCP. The pocket is basically designed to be a holster. I don't put anything else in the pocket that carries my gun. I've never had a problem with the trigger snagging or anything with these. http://ccwbreakaways.com/ They now have jeans (I have the khaki pants)....

Pocket Carry: I always use a Blackhawk nylon pocket holster when pocket carrying a gun. I recently bought a couple of pairs of Woolrich concealed carry slacks that have an invisible zippered gun pocket on the right side. I have found the combination of the Woolrich slacks with the Blackhawk to be a ...

Given the circumstances, I agree that loaning a gun to your friend would be a very bad idea. However, she had better hope that the BG is just a robber and not a robber/rapist who will return to her apartment to complete the job. She might be wise to stay with someone until she gets a gun AND SOME TR...

After a while, instead of feeling self-conscious about carrying, you will begin to feel naked without a gun. You will be more anxious and more uncomfortable when you don't have a gun on your side. :iagree: I went to A LOT of Christmas parties last weekend. I knew they would involve more than a few ...

Thrilled everything worked out well! Good on you for quick, calm response! This goes to show how rehearsing scenarios in your head will let you react quickly and calmly in the heat of the moment. The mind does not differentiate between doing and thinking of doing in rehearsals. This is why it is so...

I am praying not only for your wife but also for you and your new daughter. God's blessing be with you and your family.

May both officers RIP.

I pray that their families will be comforted in their terrible loss.

BLG, Congratulations! You handled the situation in the best possible way. No one got hurt and everyone went home safe and sound. Knowing that you could have shot and killed the young man is a sobering experience. I admire your great presence of mind and control in such a volatile situation. I am not...

I also got a picture. My brother sent me this pic as my Christmas present. It is the first gun I purchased 30 years ago. A charter arms police bull dog .38 snub. My brother was visiting his FIL (who talked me out of the gun when I was young and stupid). Of course I inquired about the possibility of...

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve and are looking forward to being with family tomorrow. This evening, my wife and I spent a quiet time together and opened our presents at midnight. I got the usual gifts of aftershave, cologne, books, audio-books, and a nice Swiss Army watch but my best gift? A pictu...

After a while, concealed carrying will become second nature. Just relax - except for other CHLers, no one will probably even notice that you are carrying. Last week, just after avoiding an attempted car jacking, my adrenaline was running pretty high. I immediately drove on to the Post Office to mail...

A great thank you to Charles and all the moderators on creating one of the best sites on the Internet. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! On a personal note, the information I learned about concealed carry and self-defense here on Texas CHL Forum played a major role two weeks ago in helping me get out of a carjacking ...

Congratulations on your new XD-S. I really like Unique Guns. The owners and staff are great people. I have bought five handguns from them and every buying experience was first rate. Glad you found your way to them.

Thanks for all of your comments and suggestions. They were both helpful and educational. Posting my encounter has been very important to me as an after-action report to see what I did right and where I could improve for the future. Obviously, in this case, my situational awareness played the largest...
