Just Got My Permit

["ThatGuy"]

Just got my permit today in the mail. I have a question, in the license type it says "Lifetime Pers. Protect.". I'm allowed to open carry and carry concealed right? This is all that I need correct?

 

[ChrisK]

The answer is YES!!! Come by the Flightline Hydraulics this weekend.

Just remember the 10 rules of handgun safety:

haha those rules are awesome. I was litterally laughing my ass off. The dumb kids and monkey ones are the best though.

And chris, yeah work pending Ill at least swing by for a little bit. Id say we should go shooting this weekend, but I dont think Troys down to have another shoot at his house tomorrow and also Im saving most of my reloads for when i go to Louisville next weekend

 

[ChrisK]

It will be spring before we have a shoot at Troy's again. It will give me time to reload some more ammo. I am down below 20,000 rounds... I still need to shoot my new 556 and I have a Noveske on the way. Did you see the picture of Gooch with Palin? That was a good trip to Florida for him.

Outstanding!

Carry safe. Carry often.

thanks you all. I went to the gun store today right after work to get a Bianchi leather pancake holster for my 1911 and plan to start carrying immediately

Welcome to the "club".

ya know, its really not that uncomfortable for me. The one thing is, that its kinda wierd getting used to the fact that its on my persons now. I know its problably normal, but I do feel kinda nervous but Im sure that you grow out of it after a while.

 

[melensdad]

ya know, its really not that uncomfortable for me.

That really depends on the holster. I've found that a good holster can make the gun vanish and feel as if it is not there, a crappy holster will bother you every time you move, you'll feel it and the gun will weigh you down. OWB holsters are generally more comfortable than IWB holsters but sometimes an IWB is the only way to reasonably conceal.

I know its problably normal, but I do feel kinda nervous but Im sure that you grow out of it after a while.

Yes, you eventually just get to the point where it is completely normal.

Congrats!

It will just become routine and you will feel naked without it.

the first day (last night) went pretty good. Before we left the house, I made sure with my girlfriend that she was comfortable with me carrying because that to me is number one. We went out to meijers, blockbuster, and then went inside for a bite to eat at McAllisters. It went really well, I had no problems and Id say that after about the first hour or so, I was pretty accclimated to the firearm on my waist. I was carrying concealed and without a round in the chamber. My view is that I want to get used to carrying before I start carrying cocked and locked. Baby steps I guess haha.

But all and all it went great and Im really happy that Im able to exercise this right.
