I don't even like carrying my wallet and cell phone I can't imagine having to lug around a gun

Any time I need to carry more than that and a set of keys I get the backpack

paper is emailed!

FREEDOM!

Clean XP install coming up in about 30 minutes. Just finishing back-ups....

Would love to go to Ubuntu 100% but can't give up all the programs that are MS-only.

Anything non-MS based would put a smile on my face.

or Apple based for that matter which may even be worse.

going trout fishing this morning. Hopefully catch lunch!

*jealous

Our fishing season (not trout) opens Saturday.

Since Kent and Ramos are in here... Ideas as to what to get for a concealed carry gun for me this summer. I can't conceal a full size very well with my size, I'm 5'10" 145lbs. I'm thinking a Walther PPK in .380. Any other recommendations?

kel-tech p3at or the new ruger lsp, same caliber and all but the same gun. both .380, both will fit in your pocket. i have the kel tech. can't limp wrist it, but otherwise a decent backup. under $300.

if you are thinking walther, the new ppswould be my choice. can be had in 9mm or .40 s&w. alot of firepower in that slim ass frame.

anything from kahr, if you have enough budget. but then again, the walther is close.

any compact 1911. kimber aegis is a good one in 9mm, or any one in .45 acp/GAP

though with your size, the pps in 9mm would be just about perfect.

i've gotta run, time for class

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

The springfiled armory xd's would be a nice choice as well they come in .45 acp, .40 sw, and 9mm and are offered in a standard 5", compact 4", and a subcompact 3" .

I love me some springfield lol

My brother uses an XD, think he has the 4" model.

The first batch of xd's they released had jamming problems. They don't have that problem any more due to a slight reworking of the slide

let me put my kel-tek in my pocket, in it's holster and see if you can see it, lol. it's tiny, weighs less then 9 ounces and in stuff like cargo shorts/pants, you'll forget it's there. but it's a backup. but for me, it's primary as illinois doesn't have legal conceal carry. so i tote that around, been pulled over with it in my pocket, never even got asked about it.

The only good thing about the communist wealth is the ease of getting a concealed weapons permit , and an ass load of gun dealers I tend to keep the kimber under the car seat. Your concealed weapons permit shows up when the cops run your vehicle tags here. If it's a young cocky cop I usually prepare for the rodney king treatment. If it's an older cop, they usually just walk up to the car and ask where my firearm is.

pointed at you, don't eff with me

LOL Barney Fife would empty a clip in my fat ass before I got the D out for don't

Years ago I was with my brother and one of his friends coming back from skeet shooting at the range in the national forest. My brothers friend had a neon pink water pistol that my brother jokingly gave him because he wasn't old enough to buy a gun. He filled it with water and was shooting us with it to annoy us. Someone we passed saw him with the gun in his hand ( it's neon pink mind you ) and called 911 and reported a bunch of teenagers firing machine guns at street signs out of the car windows as we drove by. SSSSSSSoooooooooo about half way home we hear sirens blaring , I turn to look and there was at least 10 cop cars behind us. Told my brother I think they are after us. So he pulled over , then we were literally yanked out of the car by 20 or so officers with gun's drawn. I spent 15 minutes laying face down on hot ass asphalt in the middle of a major highway ( 460 for those around here ) with Barney Fife standing nervously with one foot on the back of my neck , and his gun pointed directly at my head. I don't mess with the cops around here, these crack head sob's are just itching for a reason to shoot somebody.

Holy Crap!

I like how you have keys & truck keys.

You'd laugh if you saw my keychain, it has the truck remote and the truck key. I have another keychain that is the same for the Bm'er. I HATE chit in my pockets.

x2

I end up having this HUGE key mess in my pocket though. I almost purchased a key wallet because I was so tired of it, and use them so often. Just lessen the bulk some how.

As for a pistol, that's the same reason I don't carry. Too hard to conceal and remain comfortable.

I can't exactly conceal my firearms, they are all of the rifle/shotgun type.

My best friend and I would eventually like to pick up a barrett model 99 .50 caliber rifle. I already shoot the mile.

I had a model 95 for a while I picked up in an estate sale. Good lord that thing was a beast . I shot a couple ground hogs at about 3/4 of a mile with it once. There was nothing left Watched my uncle split bowling pins at 1000 yds with it open sights I ended up selling it because I had no where to shoot it, and $35 a shell was a little too pricy for plinking

Yea, the ammo is quite expensive at that point. My baby's are all .22 rifles for the 50 foot*.

I have my m1911 style with tritium ( COuld be photo luminescent, but I'm almost sure its tritium) sights. It's no match grade, but so nice. Only problem is I have shorter fingers and that comes into play a bit, otherwise I love the palm feel and since my wrist is thicker, it handles like a dream to me. More round and a slightly shorter grip lenth by a few MM would be perfect.

THinking XD, but when I shot it... I missed my 1911. lol I am used to the extra metal.. it's comforting to me lol.
