I obtained another CPL from AZ (which requires proof of training) and they accepted my TX CPL as proof of training, since TX requires training and proficiency. I've been shooting for over 2 years, and have taken several classes on shooting for pistols and...

    Springfield XDm 45 striker retainer pin broke. Did you?

    The striker retainer pin broke on my XDM 45. I had a gunsmith repair it but he used the wrong pin. Won't use that gunsmith anymore. :banghead: I called another gunsmith (who does a lot of work for a large city police department) and said this fairly common on this gun especially with dry...

    Mass murderers - why they do it

    I found this article on mass murderers and what drives them. Seems balanced to me. It's the person that's unbalanced. Would explain a lot about Loughner. http://www.chinapost.com.tw/life/discover/2009/04/08/203464/Loss-revenge.htm

    South Dakota Bill to require anyone 21 and older to own a gun. Smack Smack ObamaCare.

    NC Agenda for gun rights?

    Does anyone have a clue what the NC Legislature is planning on doing with the mess of NC gun law? What can a good law abiding citizen expect this year? More or less freedom? Beuller? Beuller?

    Traverer get arrested in Newark NJ airport due to no fault of his own - onto SCOTUS

    This is a bit ridiculous, don't you think? He should have been covered under the Federal laws for traveling with firearms. And he shouldn't have been arrested for something that was out of his control. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/01/18/traveling-mans-gun-arrest-appealed-supreme-court/

    AZ Resident to OC?

    A TX Concealed Handgun instructor here in TX told me that to OC in AZ that you have to be an AZ resident? I can't find anything to that effect in the AZ laws. So what's answer? If you do, please cite statute as I want fact, not opinion. My sister lives in Tuscon and when I visit I'd like to OC...

I've followed some threads on other forums on notifying LEO's that you are a CCW holder and am carrying or not. I know in NC that you have to inform - we also have to...
