I am wondering if there is a resource on this site for finding an attorney familiar with CCW law. I checked the resources and did not find anything (but may have missed it). I read a good article from a FL attorney who suggested that the time to find a good lawyer is BEFORE you need him, and I...

I seem to recall reading that it was legal to carry at fairgrounds. I think that would be OK anyway, because they usually only serve beer rather than mixed drinks, and I think a class "D" liquor license is for mixed drinks (I don't drink at all, so I admit I am uninformed in this area). Can...

Dear All, I have seen a number of posts relating to comfortable carry holsters, and I have purchased a few holsters myself in my quest for the ideal way to carry. Unfortunately, this is not a universal fix, but for many of you it may also be something you could pursue. One of my biggest...

Dear All, My family and I went to the Cleveland Zoo this afternoon, which we do from time to time because we have an annual pass. I was not worried about needing my sidearm while in the park, but the area that one travels through to get to the zoo is a little rough. Once I put my sidearm on...

I think I may have found a solution to my planned trip to Chicago and wanted to see if anyone on the forum has any input to it. I plan to stay in Hammond, IN which is about 30 miles from the location of my meetings. I plan to leave my gun in the hotel room on the first day so that I don't have...

I know that IL is a noncarry state, but I am going to a conference there in a week or two and plan to carry up to the state line. Can anyone offer input as to how to safely carry the firearm in IL in a way that will comply with IL law? I am assuming that in the case of a handgun that...

I am going to show my ignorance here (nothing new) :biggrin: I am looking for a small pocket gun WITH a thumb safety. I saw a Sig model 380 that fit this description earlier this week, and although it is fairly pricey I am thinking of picking one up for summer carry. I would be interested in...

I have a Kimber 45 ultra carry that is my main carry gun, but sometimes it is a little large for carrying in the summer with shorts and a T shirt. I am thinking of picking up a Keltec or Ruger 380 pocket gun, but I am a little uneasy about their not having a safety. I would be interested in...

This may be a stupid question (it would not be the first time), but I stopped by a bank yesterday to make the first payment on a new car we bought about a month ago. I could not find the payment coupon book to mail it in, so I thought I would stop in at a branch to get this information. I...

Do any of you use belly bands as your primary means of carrying (especailly during the summer)? I tried one today when I carried for the first time. I liked the way it felt, but the band rubbed on my skin so if I am going to use this method for casual dress then I will need to wear an...

Can anyone tell me if you can carry in a restaurant in Ohio like Applebees if there is no sign on the door, you are not drinking, and you do not sit in the bar? We are going on a trip next week and I wanted to find out what the law regarding this is in Ohio. Thanks, Neal

I have been debating for some time whether to carry a 45 or 9 mm, and for several reasons decided to go with the 45 about a week ago. I got the gun broken in in time for a business trip that I am currently on for three days, and my wife and I leave a week from Saturday for a one week trip that...

I just bought a new Kimber 1911 Ultra Carry 45. This unit is made in both a 45 and 9 mm, but the dealer only had the 45 in stock. When I got to the gun shop, they had 3 units and sold one of them while I was there. I know that the 45 has a lot more knock-down power, but I am also planning...

I have been reading posts on the site for about a month now, and have really enjoyed the input that I have heard from others. We were on vacation in Florida for the month of February (I am an Ohio resident), so I was able to do a little research while we were gone as to what I would like to...

Several weeks ago I made a couple of posts with questions about whether it was worthwhile to get a FL CC permit. A number of people offered helpful input, and it was not hard to pursuade me that it was a good idea. I thought that I would report back that I applied for my permit on Wednesday...

My family and I have been vacationing in Florida for a while, and we leave to go home to Ohio (80 miles south of Cleveland) Tuesday morning. I have been shopping for a piece to carry while we were in Florida but could not get too serious given that I could not purchase anything as an out of...

I had a nice conversation with a gentleman at a local sporting goods shop at the firearms counter who was telling me about a group he is a part of that meets to practice their responces in a staged environment (what do you do when confronted with someone with a gun, especailly if you have a...

I have a question that I put to the FL office that issues CC permits in the state when I applied for my nonresident CC permit on Wednesday. I can't say that I frequent bars, but I understand that one cannot carry in a class D-4 (or at least I think that was the designation) liquor...

I have an appointment to apply for my Florida CC permit in person on Wednesday of this upcoming week (February 24). I have read over the (literally) 42 page document outlining how to do this. As best I can tell, I need- 1. The completed application (notarized). 2. A copy of my firearms...

I am interested in finding a NEW Smith and Wesson 908. I have handled one at gun shows, but at the time I was unaware that the model is in limited production and seems to be hard to find. I have checked online without much success in locating one. Any suggestions for someone looking for a...
