Here is a sticky from ConcealedCarryforum that I have read several times and thought it would be a good read for novice and pros alike. This is a fantastic forum that is restricted to service caliber weapons(no mouse guns here) for EDC and concerns of holster and SD ballistics.

Newb question....So can you keep a semi-auto pistol loaded with one in the chamber for a long period of time or should you unload each night.
I.e. Keeping a semi-auto loaded with full mag +1 and carrying it daily. Will it harm anything. Logic tells me no but I was wondering if the spring or...
For all you weirdos out there on the internets - I'm not talking about THAT..
Where on your belt do you typically carry?
This Poll is OPEN. Other users will see what you selected.
You may select more than one.
So, this was starting to get discussed in another thread, but I felt that it deserved its own.
When you carry, do you have one chambered? Or do you not chamber a round?
If you don't have one ready to go, why not?
I've always carried with one chambered, never really thought about not...
OK... for those who just got all worked up over the title, calm down. I firmly believe no one has to "justify" carrying to anyone. What I'm asking is how do you answer the question "why do you feel you need to carry a weapon?" when asked by someone who doesn't have any desire to carry a...
When you're carrying and you get in your car, what happens to your sidearm? Does it stay holstered? Do you deholster it? Glove box? Under your seat? Door compartment? Is it out in the open? Do you leave it loaded? Would love to hear your comments.
I lifted this from another forum I belong to. I thought the INGO community would find it an excellent post, as I did.
1. We don't carry firearms so that we can ignore other basics of personal safety. Every permit holder that I know realizes that almost all dangerous situations can be avoided...
So you're out and about when, suddenly, you gotta drop a :poop:. You run to the john and find an empty stall. But... what do you do with the gun you wear on your waist?
If you drop your drawers to the floor, you may risk somebody reaching under from an adjacent stall to grab it. (Hey, if he's...
What does Indiana law have to say about carrying long guns? If you're going hunting or shooting can you sling your rifle or shotty over your back and run into the grocery store? I'm wondering about actual laws, not just a "Well, I do/don't think that would be legal"
Wouldn't it be great if we...
I currently have a lifetime LTCH issued by Indiana. If I were to move (that is change my residence) to Ohio, I would have to inform ISP of my new address as well as apply for a CCW from Ohio. I understand that.
My question is: If I were to visit IN after receiving my CCW from Ohio, would I...
Just thought I would start a new, on-topic discussion for one of the most overused but rarely supported ideas to ever jack a carry thread. Since very few will bring up an older thread or start their own, here it is. Some variant of this idea is frequently thrown into many threads by many folks...
I have been looking in the Indiana state law for any type of list laying out where I am not allowed to carry my handgun. I know that we are slowly getting to the point where we have a book of allowances rather than a book of restrictions because that will be a shorter list, so I guess its...
Let us assume the softball program is ran by the school. Also that the fields are considered part of school grounds.
This does not state that the person must leave school grounds after transporting person to school function.
Whether I exit the vehicle or not it is still being operated by me as...
New to the world of carrying and looking for opinions on the guns I'm considering at this point.
