My First Day Concealed Carrying

Treo

Bullet Proof
I am new to this group; however I am not new to carrying. I have been carrying for awhile now. I have lived my entire life by the traditional Republican values (yes I said I am a Republican and damn proud of it!), the Boy Scout Motto of Be Prepared, and the motto Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

I carry six guns. All of them are Glocks in .40 S&@ caliber with Night Sights and are bone stock except for some wolf springs. I carry 2 Glock 22s on my right and left hips in C-Tacs, 2 Glock 23s in my Alessi Bodyguard shoulder holster, 1 Glock 27 on my left ankle, and another Glock 27 in my right hand pocket. I also carry some folding knives. I carry 2 Chris Reeves folding knives, both of them are Sebenzas. I carry the small one in the left hand pocket of my 5.11 Tactical pants. I carry the larger one in the mag pocket on the right hand side with a Glock 22 magazine. I carry another 4 Glock 22 magazines behind the guns on my hips. I carry an extra magazine on a mag pouch on my right hip. I also carry a surefire E2E flashlight clipped onto my left hand pocket. You never know when you will need a light. I am going to be carrying 2 pairs of hand cuffs when I decide on a decent manufacturer and holster (suggestions are wanted). For my commo gear (I wasnt in the military but I adopted some of it into my everyday lingo through many CCW courses) I use a Nextel I560 phone in black (dont want to get the yellow one and give my reflection away in case some BG seems me in an alley) and I have a Pager with Skytel service. I also have a Zippo lighter in case I need to make a torch or something if stuck in a Hurricane Katrina situation. I also carry some OC spray (Fox labs if youre wondering)

I just wanted to share some of my experiences. I have been carrying a long time. I remember when I got my first permit. I felt ecstatic. It was an awesome responsibility I was ready to deal with. Not to mention I had been trained for it. I took an intensive CCW class that was several hours in length and have taken a few classes since then. I was like a Police Officer on his first shift. I was so happy that I had been granted the right to carry because there needs to be many more CCWers to help bring crime rates down. It is a heavy burden that we as Sheepdogs have to bear to protect the sheeple.

On my first day CCWing I went on patrol and walked around the entire neighborhood watching things with my hyper sense of awareness. Nobody but other CCWers understands what I am talking about. I walked through the neighborhood and I saw the illegal immigrants sitting on the stoop watching me with a keen eye. I suspect that they were intimidated by my presence (I am 6'1" and 325 lbs) with a 50 inch waist. I dont understand Spanish but they must have been talking about me.


I continued walking and I saw some gangbangers. There were 4 urban youth (read black kids playing basketball with jerseys listening to crap music err I mean rap music) who were probably carrying illegally. They were talking on someones porch. They looked at me and started talking amongst themselves. One of them called me biggie (some sort of respect thing?) and I kept walking.

As I got further into town I realized I needed to recharge my batteries with some food. I got myself a burrito at the local store. It was being worked by illegals (they are everywhere arent they?) but they make some damn good burritos and nachos. I got a huge super burrito (the kind that are football size) and some nachos with extra cheese and jalapenos. A large soda would wash that down nicely. I brought my food to the table and then got up to fill my soda (it was a self serve soda fountain) when some illegal immigrant gangbanger drug dealers walked in. One of them looked at me and I knew I was in for some trouble. They were probably packing guns. Gangbangers always pack lorcins and hi-points and not quality tactical gear. I made eye contact to let them know that I am hyper aware and that they will not be getting past me should something go down. Those stupid illegal immigrant gangbangers would regret messing with me.

Sure enough they called me a racist name. (Only white people can be racist, stupid racist illegal loving liberals!). I ignored it because I never start trouble when I am CCWing. I just waited in line for the soda machine when one of them pushed me. He wasnt strong enough to push my 345 lb frame. I told him not to touch me and took a defensive posture. I read about it on some tactical forums. Its one Navy SEALs use when going into close quarters combat. (I am not a SEAL or a veteran but I train just as hard with my CCW.) My CCW instructor approved of it and I told the illegal scumbag gangbanger that I would use force to defend myself and my family (who were not there, they dont patrol the neighborhood with me) if he should continue his attack.

They laughed and pushed me again. I pushed back. I threw my weight into it and pushed him into some tables. His other stupid Mexican illegal immigrant friend started saying something in Spanish and he put his hand into his pocket. I reached for the Glock 22 on my right hip and drew. The illegal immigrant took his hand out of his pocket and I told him to get down on the ground. Then I told his buddies to do the same thing. I then proceeded to handcuff the one who pushed me and the bigger of the other two. I then put on some Hatch Cooltac gloves and searched them. All of the employees in the store and the customers started clapping and cheering for me.

Bu not one to neglect my civic duty I had to keep a close eye and my Glock on the other one until my backup arrived. The responding officers came in with their guns drawn and ready to do some wet work. I laughed as once they saw me they put their guns away and I holstered mine. They proceeded to laugh once they saw I had the situation under complete control. They asked my advice on guns and we talked. I told them how I considered law enforcement at one point but I felt the job wasnt my forte. They didnt cuff me or anything and just took a statement. One of them even offered to buy me lunch and I got the number of one of the female officers who responded to the man with a gun call. When will the liberal anti-gunners learn that people like me are able to handle ourselves and act as sheepdogs for them (the sheeple)? Anyway we are going to the range and I am going to show her how to shoot. She also expressed getting her CCW permit. Luckily I have a lot of training and know a lot of people so she will probably taking a class where she will learn to think tactically.

After about 10 minutes of questioning from the cops I was ready to hit the streets again. I continued to walk down the street and check the neighborhood out. I decided that I should probably check the local Dunkin Donuts / Baskin Robbins out. I wanted to stop and rest my tired feet but as a civic minded CCWer I would not shirk my god given responsibilities to protect the neighborhood. I went in and got myself an extra large Peanut Butter and Chocolate malt. As I waited for the raghead to make my malt I noticed one of the officers I saw at the burrito shop. He nodded at me and I sat down at the table next to him. He told me what a good job I did and how much he loved responsible CCWers. I told him that it was just the training from my CCW classes. The whole You default to your level of training thing. He was very impressed and said I would make a fine tac-officer (SWAT for all you non-LEO types). Then he offered to pay for my malt as the raghead guy who worked there called out my order.

That was just one of my many forays into the streets. What made it unique was that it was my first day CCWing. Since then I have become an old hand when it comes to CCWing. I just wanted to share what my first day was like.
 
I read this same post about a year ago on another forum. I hope that wasn't you, but rather a copy and paste of what not to do while carrying concealed. As I recall the original poster of this tripe was run off the board.
 
People gotta stop smoking that Sh*t and getting on their computer. Dammit Treo, get off the glass pipe and get HELP! That goes for Dorthy and the Tin man as well. :laugh:
 
How many GUNS?

Usually I would say " you can't have enough guns". But that is rediculous!
Unless you are in a war time situation (in country) 2 is more than enough IMHO
Have been in 2 gunfights. One was all I needed both times. and I was shot in my gun hand the second time (forearm) and still came out on top. It just sounds a little hoaky 2 me.

@ The Duke.......GOOD POINT.

Now as far as our esteemed "Tactical Mall Ninja" friend here goes, ROFLMAO.:wacko::wacko::yu: What's next on the order ?? Tactical mall buggy? aka golf cart with blacked out wheels and maybe a little camo by special order thrown in just for that tactical advantage to sneak up on the unsuspecting terrorist????? LOL. :sarcastic:

OH MISTER MALL NINJA NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH WIZARD, I'm sure your family and ALL of your neighbors are just SOOOO THANKFUL THAT YOU ARE PROWLING/STALKING THE STREETS protecting them ALL from "SPOOKY DUDES". :sarcastic: ROFLMAO !!!


TELL YA WHAT, WHEN YOU WANT TO BE A SERIOUS GROWNUP AND GET THE HELL OUTTA YOUR GRANNY'S BASEMENT, I'M SURE SHE SOULD ACTUALLY USE THE SPACE FOR SOMETHING BETTER THAN HOUSING YOUR ASS, Come back and try again !!!
Until then, put your creative talent to use and write either a fiction book or submit this posting and the rest of them that I'm sure you have posted on other serious gun rights and carry rights forums to a action adventure cartoon publisher. Just sayin. But PLEASE DO NOT come on here with your OBVIOUSLY BS antics. Those of us who belong to this forum and others like it are hear to chat with like minded folks who actully carry and who really do take this sort of respondsibilty seriously. This is about "REAL LIFE", and not computer generated make-believe.

FUTHERMORE: TO MY FELLOW PATRIOTS AND ARMED CITIZENS..... If I have in any way insulted or caused YOU any discomfort, Please accept my apologies for that wan't my intent.:pleasantry:

I will end with this..."Random Internet Tough Guy"....GET OUT OF YOUR GRANNY'S BASEMENT.:sarcastic:
 
Hiding Guns Thread.......

Would it not be better to hide them in the open? Things like a traveling golf bag."

Treo aka: Troll
Speaking as a former thief any place you can think of to hide your guns I've already thought to look in.

Get a safe , keep one gun w/ you and lock the rest up

So, which is it ??????? :sarcastic: Are you the saviour of your neighborhood or the one stalking it ????:hang3::hang3::hang3:

I think I'd move! Sounds like quite a neighborhood.

But I gotta tell you, if this is true, I'm more afraid of you clanking down the street like the Tin Man and trying to act like John Wayne than I would be of the people you ran into.

When you get a conceal carry permit, you don't check your common sense at the door. At any point during this "first day" experience did you question the wisdom of putting yourself in those surroundings? I realize it's a free country, but come on -- it sounds like you went from place to place intentionally attracting the attention of every low-life in the county like a magnet.

But hey, you got a gun--you can handle anything!

And how the heck do you rack up 677 posts and consider yourself new to this group?
 
I thought you had go to Walmart on your first day of CC?

Now where did I put that map of the aisles in Walamart....?
 
Mall camo?

"Now as far as our esteemed "Tactical Mall Ninja" friend here goes, ROFLMAO.:wacko::wacko::yu: What's next on the order ??

What's "mall camo" look like? Pictures of mall-walking grannies in sweatsuits and teeny-bops in Hollister T-shirts and baggy pants painted on the side of the golf cart/mall assault vehicle?
 
First Day Carrying

Ok, my turn; I am new to concealed carrying and my first day was a little over a week ago. Here's my story, I wasn't allowed to carry at work so I didn't; I put my gun on after I got home from work. I then proceeded to walk out onto my front poarch with my family where we ate dinner.

Ok, seriously "on patrol" I didn't think we were supposed to do that. I thought we just went about our normal business; just armed and ready for any trouble that would happen to find us.

I may have only been carrying for a short time but I'm one of those people who ENJOYS doing his homework before starting something new and I've been reading and researching this for over a year now. I haven't EVER read ANYTHING that recomended or condoned the "on patrol"...thing...that was described in the OP. As a matter of fact I'm pretty sure everything I've ever read on the subject of concealed carry goes against it completely.

On a slightly lower note; my CCW class instructor covered the topic of making a "citizens arrest." His basic summary was (loose quotation) "yes it's legal but no you shouldn't do it because if you don't do it right you can be sued very easily." He was an attorney so he would know how to read and interpret the law pretty well.

Dinner's ready but it's raining so no eating on the poarch tonight...<off soapbox>
 
Gambino family underboss and contract killer Sammy "the bull" Gravano once said, "There's enough people who need to be shot without going around looking for it!"

Wise words from a famous psychopath. Think about it hard. The biggest troublemaker you'll ever know watches you shave in the mirror every morning.

Don't be a legend in your own mind. If I had to bet? Well, the smart money says someday you'll get shot.
