I am in Grad school so I can only carry on days that I don't go to class.

I secretly carried all 4 years of school... once I found out the REAL crime stats on campus versus the official stats it was a no brainer.

I did as well although against school policy

Me too- I carried it in either one of those purpose built fanny packs or I ah a custom computer carrying case made with a built in holster in a hidden outside compartment. I carried a 1911 Combat Commander due to its slimness

I could open carry but don't, if I would stop slacking and take the class Id carry my colt viper

I carry a Kel Tec .32 out in public unless I feel the need for something bigger.

Here in MA I can't even kill someone that breaks in my house unless they are armed too. Brandishing is a felony too. Here it's almost ask questions first, and shoot later.

I was reading some of the other comments, and here you must have a license to carry. They have different levels and mine is high capacity and I am allowed to have the largest mags allowed and use semi-automatics. MA is NOT reciprocal with other states, so be careful if you come here. I had to get a license in NH, VT you don't need one for concealed carry and you need to get one in RI and CT.

sometimes i take my 30/30 when im out in the woods, other than that i used to keep the 32 in the glove box and then i relized that if my car was stolen so was my gun....it stays home now:bigsmile:

If I had a chance to carry and I would have carried it 24/7 even I go into shower with Glock 30, lol.

I haven't purchased a gun yet (not sure what I want - I need to shoot a LOT more!), but when I do, I am considering carrying. I would like to be able to keep it on my person rather than in my purse, but I'm not sure how to go about that because it's not always workable with women's clothes. I am leery about putting it in my purse because I have a toddler, and I'm afraid he will go into my purse one day and come upon a gun. Even with a safety and all that, it worries me.

As such, I am weighing gun safety with regard to a young child against carrying.

However, I will be keeping a gun at home and one in my office (my husband and I are self-employed, and our employees are also gun-lovers). Here you are allowed to keep a firearm in your home, in your place of business, and concealed in your vehicle (glove compartment is ok). I recently spoke to the solicitor's office about carrying from your car to your home/office either openly or without a CCW. He told me that if you were carrying your firearm from your car to bring it into your home or office, someone attacked you, and you had to use your firearm, you might be charged for carrying unlawfully, but the charge would likely be dropped given the circumstances. We like our guns here in SC, and although we don't own any firearms, it makes me feel a bit better knowing I have neighbors who are pretty well-armed (one is a cop and one is a retired Marine).

Here it's not that hard to get a CCW, but the place I shoot also has a "Utah certification" class so that you can lawfully carry in a healthy chunk of states. It's a bit longer of a class and more expensive, but it appears to be worth it given how many states it includes.

I do carry most of the time. I have a H&K .40.... Its AWESOME!!!!!

I don't carry, never have.......but I've been looking at buying a new gun and getting my carry permit.

I sold both my guns last year and haven't replaced them yet.

I have a CC permit but don't carry at the moment. Mainly because I haven't found a holster I like yet. I have one that allows you to carry in the small of the back or appendix style but it just doesn't seem comfortable. I'm wondering if I wouldn't like an ankle holster better. Or if I just need wear the one I have around the house more to get comfortable with it.

My viewpoint on ankle holsters is ... they are great as a backup. I view it as I want it very easily accessible if needed. At the ankle it would take me time to have to bend over and get the gun. I have both OWB and IWB holsters. OWB = Outside Waist Band and IWB = Inside Waist Band.

My IWB is very comfortable and I wear it at the 7 o'clock position (I'm a southpaw). There are several great manufacturers of holsters that make them custom to the gun. Two I know of that are well thought of are American Holster Company and Cleveland Holster. My wife and I have 4 of the American Holsters.

I carry a 5 shot American Arms .22 pistol. It fits in my front pocket with no holster. This goes everywhere with me.

When traveling, I bring along my .357 for company. It fits in the center console of the Suburban so it is accessable to either myself or my wife.
