    What's Boulder like?

    I'm flying out next week for a job interview. I'm not too worried about the interview; I can conceal in CO on my UT permit, and I plan to do so, except during the interview itself. However, if I am offered the job, and take it, then I'll be looking at moving to Boulder, which makes all of this...

    Utah CFP courses in the Raleigh area?

    Sorry for the semi-OT post, but I'm going to be in the Raleigh area on and off over the next couple of months for work, and it occurred to me that there might be interest in the Utah concealed carry permit (I'm a Utah CFP instructor). The Utah CFP is honored by NC, including for NC residents...

    XD Illegal in Califonia?

    imported post In this thread in the Utah forum, the assertion was made that the Springfield Armory XD (or maybe the XDM, or maybe just some models) is illegal in the state of California, for some reason. My understanding is that high-capacity magazines (magazines holding more than 10 rounds)...

    Fully loaded OC without a CFP

    imported post My brother-in-law was asking some questions over the weekend that got me to thinking... The normal opinion about unlicensed OC in Utah is that you must carry "Utah-unloaded", but I don't think that's what the law actually says. The law says that it's unlawful to carry a loaded...

    OC'er stopped in Riverdale Wal-mart

    imported post I was at Wal-mart just a little while ago, and observed an OC'er stopped by two Wal-mart security guys. The OC'er was wearing a Washington County Sheriff's Dept. polo shirt, and I heard him telling them that he was a police officer and was required to carry. I don't think he...

    Odd experience at Wal-mart

    imported post This happened a couple of weeks ago, but I've been traveling and just haven't gotten around to posting about it. I went into Wal-mart in Riverdale on Saturday afternoon (May 10th). I normally avoid doing that, with or without a gun, because the store is just too busy. This time...

    Freaked out the greeter at Wal-mart

    imported post Pretty much a non-event, but I thought I'd post it anyway. I went to Wal-mart this morning (in Riverdale) to check the lost and found. My daughter bought my wife a b-day present there last night, then left it in the shopping cart in the parking lot. I didn't think it was likely...

    Traveling to San Francisco

    imported post I'm traveling to SF next week for a conference, and I'm wondering if there's any point at all in taking a weapon. Is there any realistic scenario in which I could keep it usable for self-defense without breaking any laws? Fortunately, the other major conference I attend every...

    Traveling to WI

    imported post I'm going to Wisconsin (Madison) on business tomorrow, and I just want to double-check my understanding of WI gun laws. Please tell me if I got anything wrong in my reading of the law: 1. I can't conceal. No way, no how. 2. My weapon must be unloaded and securely encased whenever...

    SCUBA diving meetup?

    imported post I used to hang out regularly on rec.scuba and I noticed that there are a lot of gun owners there (in fact, there is more discussion about gun control than diving). I've also noticed more than a few casual references to diving here, which makes me wonder if there's some sort of...

    Ways to make clear the disadvantage of disarming people

    imported post I've been thinking a little about how to deal with establishments that decide to prohibit weapons. The problem as I see it is that when, say, a mall security guard asks an OCer to put her weapon in the car, it's likely that the incident doesn't even get reported to upper...

    OC Holster Recommendations

    imported post This may have been discussed before, but I didn't find it in the archives, so I thought I'd ask. Does anyone have any recommendations for an OC holster? Specific brands and models are good, but I'm also interested in general principles. What sort of retention mechanisms are...

    imported post For any that haven't seen it, there is a very well-written essay on why firearms are good for society at http://munchkinwrangler.blogspot.com/2007/03/why-gun-is-civilization.html
