Hello all, I'm new here and I'm in the process of getting my CCW permit here in Northern California. so far it's been a smooth process and from what i understand pretty easy. Our Sheriff is a pretty good guy and believes that if your a law abiding citizen and have a clean history you should be able to have a concealed carry permit. it pretty much a shall issue situation. looking forward to interacting on this forum and getting some good information about concealed carry gear that others use on this forum.
Hi all. New member from NC here. Not new to guns, but new to conceal carry. Still trying to find a way for a large guy to carry comfortably. Pocket is the easiest, but don't really like any of the pocket holsters I've tried. I'm also interested in some of the less expensive weapon options. For example, I love my Charter Arms 38. I also love my Taurus TCP. The price of both of those added together is less than the guns most people carry. (however, I have to admit, I'd LOVE to have a new Colt Mustang 380)
Welcome to all of the new members, it is great to have so many people joining the forum, interacting and exchanging information. I look forward to your posts and future discussions.

oh goody i found the new members thread :girl_wink: i stumbled upon this site looking up stuff on concealed weapons permits for florida being there is a gun show coming up and this time i'm going to go and see about getting myself a ccw permit and see what else they have to offer to get me started
something i've often thought of doing but never got around to doing till now i've made up my mind i'm going to do this and was searching the internet for days finding as much info as i can to feel comfortable and secure in my choice to want to learn to use a defensive weapon effectively and efficiently if the need should arise
given the way this nation is going and crime rates rising each day i think it may well be in my best interest to take the courses necessary and get the experience necessary to defend myself if the need arises so i joined the forum here in hopes to gather knowledge and tips other weapons carriers may have to offer :tongue:

Welcome to the forums. If you are a big guy, you may want to try out a Kholster IWB holster. They are super comfortable and they keep your firearm off your skin. Here's their site: Kholster
Also, if you like the Colt Mustang, you may want to try out Sig Sauer's P238. Excellent firearm!!

First of all; welcome. Second; I have a keltec 32 with a pocket clip from keltec that cost me $11.60 s&h included. Works great in front pocket and looks like I'm carrying a knife. Outside of that I carry a Springfield CD 9 mm with a blackhawk seeps holster, also works well under outer shirt.to Eventhough I'm from Michigan and we have open carry I still try to cover. Hope this helps. Matt

Hello. I'm a new member. I live in Utah and work mostly in Washington and Oregon. I'm new in almost all regards. I've shot a few times when young (and enjoyed it immensely) but haven't taken the time, nor had the money until now to explore the world of firearms and shooting. I'm glad I found this site and especially the forums. There is so much information to be found here.

Wow...been here a couple of days and finally stumbled across the Welcome newby thread.
I live in NE Mississippi, about an hour from where I grew up. Been shooting since I was big enough for someone else to hold the gun up for me. My dad had a S&W Model 10 and my mom's brother was a gun nut ranging from building black powder rifles from scratch to nice modern rifles and pistols...so needless to say that I grew up around guns. Got my first .22 rifle at 12, first shotgun at 16.
Bought a few nice pistols back in the late 70s when I came of age, but realized I had a real anger problem. I wrote the book on road rage a couple of decades before it had a name. I realized to stay out of trouble, I'd better sell all of my handguns, including the Mod 39 Smith that I had fallen in love with. Did a lot of growing up in the next decade, including spending the last half of the 80's as a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division. Oh, I shot a lot of other people's pistols over the past 30 years, including the Sig P226 that fit my hand as if it was part of me, but I just didn't think I was ready to be trusted with one of my own.
Today I am a different, older, calmer person. A few weeks ago my loving wife bought me a Ruger P345, with kind of an unspoken agreement that I'd buy her something later, and we'd both get CCW permits. Thought I'd better take a while to get re-accustomed to shooting etc before even deciding on a holster.
Sure glad to have happened upon this forum, I think from suggested links on Facebook.

Hi,
Newbie from OK, But transplanted to NE.
I've finally settled in a location long enough that I'll probably get my cvs in the next few months. (sadly spent the last 7 years in NYC. Gun owner hell. )
