      Have you ever "quizzed" a business with a no-gun sign

      I'm assuming that we're generally talking about OC'ing here? Or are people saying that they'd respect the sign and not CC? If one was CC'ing properly, no one would even know, correct? 8 more to go.

      This is why I always sit in the bar at B-Dubs. No sketchy soccer moms.

      Right. My guess is that most of these signs (especially at establishments such as restaurants where patrons will be expected to remain on the premises for extended periods) are not a serious attempt to avert crime, but rather to eliminate discomfort among those who might not feel secure around...

      Armed robbery @ CVS in Bloomington - what would you do?

      I don't believe I'd feel guilt over such a situation. Or at least I'd feel less guilt than I would if I initiated something and THEN an innocent was killed. You can't see down the path not taken, so I'd not beat myself up over it. Anyway, I don't see myself as the protector of the masses.

      So I carried (CC) for the very first time today

      That's funny, because I had that same feeling. Had I run across any LEO's on my jaunt I'd probably have dropped to the floor, went all spread eagle, and surrendered right there. They'd have though I was nuts, of course. Obviously I'm exaggerating. Sort of.

      Armed robbery @ CVS in Bloomington - what would you do?

      I'll tell you this much. I'm not playing Wyatt Earp in order to save the daily receipts at CVS. Unless I'm threatened or they start harming innocents I'm just a fly on the wall.

      Indiana gun permit applications surge 83 percent

      Freedom Firearms in Fort Wayne has a framed photo of Obama on the counter with the caption, "Gun Salesman of the Year."

      So I carried (CC) for the very first time today

      Yeah, I can open the safe in about 2 seconds (non-panic mode obviously). It's a trade off that we simply need to make. It's that, or no weapon at all.

      You know, I'm a homebrewer and actually have a number of kegs of beer in the house all the time. Freud would probably have something to say about that typo.

      So I carried (CC) for the very first time today

      I'm a long way from OC. I'm not sure that'll ever be for me. I know we've got some Fort Wayne OC'ers who post here, but even though I'm watching for them pretty much every time I'm out I've still never actually seen one in the wild. Maybe it's my area of town. Or maybe I need to spend more time...

      So I carried (CC) for the very first time today

      I know exactly what you mean. That's the reason I chose about the least threatening situation I could think of...a Sunday afternoon at a suburban Target and grocery store. I realize that things can happen anywhere anytime, but if you gotta pick something this seemed as unlikely a trouble...

      By the way, I've received a couple of PM's from this thread. I can't respond as I don't yet have 50 posts. But be assured I've read and appreciate them.

      So I carried (CC) for the very first time today

      I have two high school age girls. They've both handled the unloaded pistols, and we're planning on teaching them to safely shoot thus summer...after the weather turns better and we've (my wife and I) have more time with the guns ourselves. My fear with our kids is (1) they have friends around...

      So I carried (CC) for the very first time today

      You know, that never occurred to me. I keep both my handguns in a gunvault next to the bed (we have kids) but I never considered that I could put the holstered gun in the safe rather than removing it.

      So I carried (CC) for the very first time today

      Actually, the most uncomfortable part was holstering and unholstering the loaded weapon. I'd practiced many times with an empty weapon, but today was the first time I done it while loaded. Slightly disconcerting. Today I was using a Safariland 6378 OWB. For warmer weather I may look at an IWB...

      So I carried (CC) for the very first time today

      Yeah, I know. So what. My background...I've only been a gun owner for a few weeks, despite being 52 years old. I've never been anti gun, I've just never owned one. In the last few weeks I've taken two different classes and fired 800-1000 rounds at the range. So I decided today that I'd try...

      Anyone ever shoot a hole in their house?

      "I am *begging* you. Please stop cleaning on an empty chamber." I mean, what if someone home-invades during the cleaning? You really want to take time to rack the slide, in addition to the reassembly? Exactly.

      For CC, Glock 26 vs Sig P250 Subcompact

      I own an M&P 9 FS. I like it, but it's my first gun and I have no basis for comparison. I'd not carry it though. Too big for my frame. I'd feel like a cartoon character with that thing strapped on. I've considered an M&P compact (or even a Shield) but since I've not yet owned anything but the...

      For CC, Glock 26 vs Sig P250 Subcompact

      Anyone shot both? Glocks are Glocks (safe and reliable choice), and Jack Bauer carried a Sig (who doesn't want to be cool like Jack) but is there any objective basis for choosing one over the other beyond personal preference?
